New 6th Gen 4Runner Mods Already Starting!!!

[@CrippleCreekStudios]

Man that Everest Green is sick. Love what they did to the 4Runner!

[@TRDJon]

Looks so good

[@castandblast1852]

I’m sick of all the people complaining about the 4 cylinder stuff…..the same people complained about the power and 5 speed transmission as well as 16 mpg in the last gen. If you don’t like it just don’t even watch the videos and stick with what ya got

[@user-kf7tt2vk6t]

Have you driven one yet? I have. They are rough and buzzy. It feels like a poorly made engine.

[@Rooster_king]

Too bad it's a disappointment. You can keep crying.

[@wowmawc]

I always laugh at those who are afraid of the damn turbos, as if that shit is new. Just idle your truck a few mins before and after using it(I put a turbo timer in mine so i can walk away). 300k kms on my 4 banger turbo hilux, same turbo.. smooth as fuck still.

Can't wait to get the new 4RUNNER. That was kinda my thinking like a copy of the 4th gen tacoma i have lol. That Hawaii 4RUNNER looks sick

[@jessemorgan7007]

Not surprised by the MJ Motorsports build they are a top notch shop with top notch builds and making me think twice about the 6th gen being a 4 cylinder.

[@julioc.guevara3658]

I look forward to the 28th! Will celebrate 4Runner day with all the channels lol

[@pewpewtactical5288]

You consistently build out beautiful vehicles. Toyota should contract you to have these as trims direct from factory. They wouldn’t because it makes wayyyy too much sense but that’s on them.

[@wcsoblake85]

That carbon fiber hood is sweet!

[@kevanbarter]

I really like this 4Runner and definitely would like to get one at some point. But the price to much for me at the moment. Might get a RAV4 and save up for the 6th Gen 4Runner

[@TRDJon]

New rav coming!

[@MegaCityOne]

@@TRDJon If it looks like the RAV-X concept, or the 2017 LA Autoshow concept, then people will buy it.

[@kurtburkhardt5862]

The new Everest Green 4Runner looks great. I have those Mickey Thompsons on my 5th Gen 4Runner. Can't wait until our Everest Green Trailhunter comes in.

[@howardklatsky5016]

What size are your MT tires? Is your 4 runner lifted? Thanks

[@kurtburkhardt5862]

​@@howardklatsky5016My 4Runner has a 3" Old Man Emu suspension lift. The tires are 285/70/17 Baja Boss AT on factory rims. I did have to move the inner fender wells forward and trim a bit of the plastic for clearance on the front. I also removed the front mud flaps. I didn't have to do a body mount chop. They are reasonably quiet and I have 36,000 miles on mine and they are still pretty quiet and balanced.

[@ALMX5DP]

Just here to say that TE37s are the bomb.

[@thedarkestrainbow]

Can’t wait to see how people deal with the double handlebar in the after market. That needs to go. Generally I really like the design. It looks like an updated 4th gen which I always thought was ahead of its time design wise. Still think I prefer the Land Cruiser First Edition looks wise but not sure I’d pay the premium for basically the same vehicle. Everest is one of the most beautiful colors I’ve seen from Toyota. Right up there with Solar Octane. Would love to be able to get the paint matched flares on the Off Road trims. Looks clean.

[@TRDJon]

Two amazing colors for sure

[@rocketmonkey90]

4th Gen 4runner looks for sure. This is why I don't like it. That color is beautiful though.

[@jeffp5418]

If you look at the plastic its almost impossible to get rid of the double mustache unless you go full new bumper with a viper cut. Unfortunate as its hideous.

[@alfonsoavila5492]

I use to be in the same boat as you. I don’t see a double stache anymore. Now I see a nose, and a handlebar mustache instead. I think they absolutely killed it with the looks! Funny enough, the TRD pro, TRD off road, and trail hunter look significantly better to me that the rest of the trims.

[@thedarkestrainbow]

@@jeffp5418 I think the front end on the Taco is much better. If they had just ported that over, or given us something closer to the Sequoia I’d be fine with it. But even the 4th gen has this kind of design language in the front a bit. So if they were going for an update of that I can see how they ended up with this.

[@jomarcrisjc]

Hawaii builds don’t miss

[@joshknutson16]

Love that green color you should definitely try to get that color on yours

[@TRDJon]

I'm trying!

[@xXBIGBADPOPSXx]

I love the everest color hope you get that colot

[@is6566]

Jon, are you getting a new 4Runner? I am interested in your comparison with the LC and Tacoma based on longer term real world experience and not just a launch event or one week review.

[@bengarcia1091]

The first mode I did on mine is buy a Bronco Raptor instead 😅😂

[@cshader2488]

The TRDpro and Trailhunters are priced way too high. At that point you should just get a GX550

[@tyrealsan8234]

They also ONLY come with the hybrid system. That means you get a nice 400lb battery in your trunk for a tiny bit of extra mpg in the city, makes zero sense. I want payload to go toward things I want to bring on my trip!

[@cshader2488]

@ to be fair the hybrid system makes a lot more power too, just yeah, not a fan of the battery taking up cargo space.

[@davidchenette1091]

Good video I'm getting excited

[@TRDJon]

I'm with you on that one!

[@J.Young808]

0:04 looks like the background in many MJ Motorsports IG posts from Hawai’i 0:51 and you just confirmed it

[@davidlavery8336]

I knew it looked like a updated 4th gen lol.

[@ibraheemnabeel]

I'm really curious if the calipers/pads are straight carry over from the 5th Gen! They look similar.

[@TRDPRIME]

Man I can’t wait to test drive one cause me and my wife are in the market to buy one but we are debating between the new 4runner or the GX550

[@cheekimfbreeki9606]

GX550 if you want a better vehicle. New 4Runner if you don’t mind being the test subject for all of the kinks that will be discovered in the first iteration of 6th gen’s.

[@andoarizy325]

Definitely a GX550!

[@Zanatos_2024]

A well-equipped GX550 is about $20K more than a 4Runner Platinum.

[@armen7932]

The one Sport in production headed to my dealership is already pending pre sale.

[@TRDJon]

Nice! Yep, lots of pre sold!

[@gregjoubert5118]

My guess is it will be like the LC. Lots of pre-sold and markups in the beginning and then it will slow.

[@armen7932]

@ 56K. Non premium. Before tax.

[@armen7932]

@ Sounds very possible.

[@brianh5393]

The only way i would consider a 6th gen is through a lease. Im not willing to take it in the shorts if things go south.

[@2daih4]

Wondering if when you get your new 4Runner if you can make a video of the underbody and chassis to see if there’s a difference between this and the Taco Bell

[@davidlusk4350]

😊It'll be interesting for sure. I'm a yota fan boy but I loathed my 2022 5th gen sr5 ride and handling. Just dumped it at carmax and good riddance. Hopefully they'll ride better on new platforms. Still have my 2017 camry with 228k on it. Only replaced front brakes last summer first time, 4 sets of tires, oil every 10k. Runs smooth as silk and everything else is untouched , so yota quality is still there. Just not the runner fan personally.

[@MrStreetballer5Official]

Well to be fair, you're comparing a commuter sedan to an off-road focused body on frame SUV. Of course the handling and ride are going to be a bit different. As someone who knew what I was getting into I was overall happy with the 4runner and fixed things that I felt needed to be changed.

[@dtlusk24]

​@MrStreetballer5Official lol I should of clarified, I've owned other body in frame suvs as well. But this one was by far the worst . Possibly if I had the kdss suspension it might of been different. But this thing and other people I've talked to said the danger thing about the wondering drive going down the highway and constant jostled feeling in an urban area. I prefer longer wheel base vehicles personally. The car info was just to show yota quality is still there as people will say they have taken a drastic downturn in reliability from 90s and 00s.

[@kurtburkhardt5862]

I agree with the ride quality on our 2014 4Runner. It is a bit better now that I installed an Old Man Emu suspension lift. Have had Blazer's Explorers with full frames and both rode better than the 4Runner. I do like the quality and reliability. Hoping our Trailhunter, on order rides and drives better. We'll see.

[@dtlusk24]

​@kurtburkhardt5862 you really shouldn't have to mess with aftermarket to get a silly car to drive decently. Between the wobbly ride on the interstate and the constant effort to avoid nose dives they could of done much better. Time will tell if these items are corrected.

[@kurtburkhardt5862]

To be fair mine had 113,000 miles on it when I bought it. I upgraded the suspension at 120,000 it has 167,000 now. Drives better, but it is an old design. ​@@dtlusk24

[@Rooster_king]

Any engine swap mods available to replace that econocar 4 banger with a TTv6 that should've been in there in the first place?

[@matthewmalmgren8418]

It's 2025. You need to replace NHTSA and the EPA before you can get the V6 you desperately want.

[@kurtburkhardt5862]

Just get the Lexus GX550. V6 twin turbo. Would be cheaper than an engine swap.

[@qbania]

Warranty Questions. Basic 3 years, powertrain 5 years, Hybrid equipment 8 years, Hybrid battery 10 years, I have a short commute so will never go over on mileage. Are these decent warranties offered by Toyota?

[@kenfrank2730]

In my opinion the warranty is decent for a hybrid.

[@johnwebb2232]

I hate to be the downer on this sixth gen, but as a 5th gen owner, i can't get over the fact that it looks too much like the Tacoma. I really do feel the new 4runner has lost its identity 😢 at least with the new land cruiser. Nothing else looks like it out there.

[@CACressida]

4Runner looked like its pickup brother for 3 gens. Thats always been its identity. Just because the previous 2 gens lost their identity doesn't mean 6g did too. Besides, the front end of the 14+ 4Runner looks hideous with its protruding triangular headlights and front bulging diaper bumper with its dorky tear drop foglights.

[@wowmawc]

Looking at the emerald, im more pissed I can't get a normal 3 row 4 runner(non hybrid) with the looks of the trailhunter.(badges and all)

[@kevins7360]

Looks like they didn’t fix the Trail Hunter receptacle/compressor problem. It still faces into the cargo compartment. How is anyone supposed to use with actual cargo/drawers in play?

[@crabslabbabs]

im gonna say something unpopular but i hope there is a community started around the crown signia like this. I like mild adventuring and then it being a luxury car. 36 mpg and i guess i can't drive over boulders but i can just drive around those

[@bradishee8666]

Can you mod it with a V6?

[@sammydavis991]

Yes

[@paulpryor850]

Buyers beware! Toyota widened the stance on the Tundra, Tacoma, and Fourunner. May as well not have fenders on these vehicles. When the stock tires sandblast the vehicle. On and off the pavement! Wait til you have to have it repainted in a few years......

Same here. I was really considering a 4runner. When I learned that they were shrinking the engine to a 4 cylinder turbo, I wasn't interested any longer.

[@CocoNut2018]

Soon you'll have no ride given v8 and v6 are going away in the industry. Maybe you leapfrog straight to EV. I am going to enjoy ICE as long as I can because it takes places EV can't -- northern Canada.

[@mdx9286]

In my opinion, the 6th Gen 4Runner is a disappointment. I'm speaking more specifically about the 4-liter engine swap and several design shortcomings. Toyota should have made the Lexus GX 550 Overtrail the 6th Gen 4Runner. If you conduct a spec-to-spec comparison between the two models, yeah, the GX 550 Overtrail is more expensive, but if you wrote down your must-haves for the 6th Gen 4Runner, it's hiding in the GX 550 Overtrail spec.
