Currently on my 3rd 4Runner (2019). I’ve only owned 4Runners. I truly believe that the 1999 used 4Runner I got in college would have lasted longer had I not been rear ended on the freeway. I walked away fine. Got a 2003 4Runner used after that. Lasted a really long time. No issues. Sitting at a light, a ford f150 rear ended me and somehow bounced off my vehicle and into a wall. I was fine, I was even able to drive home. The f150 not so much. I still don’t know how that happened. I ended up selling it and telling the buyer what happened. He bought it because it had 3rd row. Even with the minor cosmetic damage, he took it. I used the money to buy the 2019 4Runner. I always wondered what happened to it. did it die? Did it have other issues? Then one day I saw it on the road…6 years later. I still see it on the road too. Sold it with 150,000 miles and the damage. And it’s still going. I will forever buy 4Runners. I’m just pissed I missed the standard CarPlay…by one year! Btw this is in Hawaii. We love our 4Runners.

[@boxoffisa]

It had a thick layer of pine needles from sitting under a tree for a few months. LOL I used that as leverage in negotiating the price. Said 3 families just left without buying a vehicle today... and I didn't see anyone in finance. Got a great deal on the vehicle... about $3k under sticker price after taxes and fees. That was summer 2020.

The 4Runner is a great truck. Rock solid reliable. The only real long term issue they have is the frame rust if you live in the salt belt. It's been a known issue since forever, and Toyota never did anything to negate it. You can mostly prevent it by applying Fluid Film every few years, but 98% of owners never do. If you're buying a used one, make sure to have someone take a good look at the frame.

[@davidr6865]

Yup, I tell people this all the time when they buy new trucks but everyone is too lazy to do it. So stupid when you drop $50k on a truck. Either way, I had 3 trucks all fluid filmed looked brand new underneath after 5 years

[@richsweeney1115]

​​@@davidr6865 paying $50k isnt smart in the first place..theyre all made cheaper now..but, all you have to do is go to a brushless car wash a few times a week ,do the body and underbody. My 08 civic SI and my ex wife's 14 escape titanium are both clean, with no rust. And ive never fluid filmed my cars or trucks. I've done some tasteful mods ..I maintan them all .and I keep them clean and washed, and don't leave Salt on them, but never fluid filmed any of them, and we live in NH, we get plenty of s on and salt

On modern trucks, don't they hot-dip galvanize the entire ladder frame before painting it? Or would that not give enough rust protection to justify the cost?

[@gdholmfirth]

My first car was a '63 Dodge with a slant 6 engine and three on the tree. Sure, it was lighter than this 4 Runner, but it got 23 MPG on the highway. That was with a carburetor, points and distributor instead of EFI. Considering all the advancements over the past 60 years, getting only 19 MPG in a nicer and heaver vehicle is not all that impressive. Oh, and I bought it used in 1969 for $300.

[@A-Z__124]

The problem is the carburetors that makes a 4000lb vehicle get 50 mpg have been stolen and denied access to a patient. A man I knew in 1976 designed and built such a carburetor. Lincoln Contential getting 52 mpg. After numerous thefts and patent issues he just gave up. As nice as that car was, his 1970 Corvette was the best. A V8 with twin turbo chargers without altering the body. A true Corvette sleeper. Ah, the good old days.

[@pyronic120120]

@EnriqueThiele yeah... people dont' realize that cars modern counterparts have actually gotten much heavier than their counterparts years ago. A quick google search tells me that the dodge truck he's talking about most likly didn't weigh more than 4000 lbs as that's what's listed as the heaviest dodge truck of that year. the 4runner alone doesn't weigh less than 4400 for the lightest model listed. Closer to 5000 pounds, that's 1000 pounds more, meaning that it's 25% more body weight on the 4 runner. Back then the tires were also much skinnier, and as we know skinnier tires give you better gas milage. Today's 4runners new 4 runner has larger tires than that dodge truck. By weight alone, you'd it takes one galon of fuel to move 174 pounds for one mile on the dodge, versus 263 pounds per galon for one mile on the 4runner. looking at it by that metric, the 4 runner is still technically more efficient than the dodge.

THREE ON THE TREE VALIANT. Serious equipment.

Scotty sure loves big SUVs with small turbocharged engines and CVT transmissions. Especially ones with electronic emergency brakes and touch screen climate controls.

Very interesting video! I saw one of these at a local dealership. It was on the lot one day!! I have question, do you put much credence in the Toyota certified Used Vehicle Program?? Thank You for your time!!

[@Rancidkidd]

What's nice is my 2005 v6 4runner (first year with the 5spd trans) has pretty much the exact same power train and drive train as the 2023. Suspension compnents are also nearly interchangeable. I am running a 5th gen suspension and 5th gen brakes...But whats amazing with the Toyota is how smoooooth they ride. Even with knobby tires it amazes me. Wish my beloved Jeep XJ was smooth like the 4runner 🤣 Downside: Frame Rust. I apply Wooxwax but only started to recently.

I had the first 4runner (83) model 2 door roll bar detachable top with a 22R and 5 speed manual on the floor. Amazing truck went almost 500k miles. I miss that truck 😊

[@torquewrench3909]

There were 22r 22re 22rte 4Runners but none were 1983 model The 83 hilux had the round front Totally different body style The 1985 version would be most desirable in some ways since you could get 22re with solid front axle. There were no 1983 4Runners Then again 1988 was a very solid year

[@torquewrench3909]

1988 had the tightest 22re ever made Plus you had independent front suspension All that said those trucks are tiny light cramped and slow They were not indestructible either

[@Jonsoar]

There's one of these in white on a dealer lot in my town Glen Rock, NJ. Going for $45,000 I believe. FYI

$49,000 is WAY cheaper than I thought it would cost.

[@memphis_sean8169]

I bet thats MSRP not what the guy actually paid

[@christianrobloxserver7282]

It's a little more (maybe 6,000-10,000 more depending on trim) than id personally say a 4runner should be worth, BUT, they're proven tech and engineering from head to toe (even the TRD Sport XREAS suspension, which has questionable reliability, uses the specific model I can't remember the name of that actually do last eons), so they absolutely PRINT money for Toyota because of their ground level low prodiction cost. So even the limited versions don't need to be marked up a lot. Its MSRP is about as much as I paid for my TRD Sport with the dealer markup

I’ve owned many Toyota cars and trucks. Out of all the cars I’ve owned the best well made was my 2022 4Runner. Thing was built like a tank, I had sale it after getting 16MPG on average. Apart from the MPG I loved it.

[@MrOBJECTIVEOBSERVER]

ummm did you buy it thinking it got 30 or wut

Sucky gas mileage but you’ll save money on not fixing it. I rather have 16 mpg then paying for repairs.

@@MrOBJECTIVEOBSERVER no I bought it intending to get the advertised MPG but realistically MPGs we’re closer to 16MPG on average. Definitely not no 19 mpg.

@@FUT131 most of them are making better mpg’s with turbo engines which the 4Runner will have next year. I’ll take the old V6 4.0 old engine against the turbo engines. Btw the new 3.4 turbo engine in the new tundra puts out the same mpg’s as the old 4.0 4Runner 🤷🏼

Scotty is the reason I bought my 2020 4Runner. After 3 years it still only has 13,000 miles. I'm getting average 15-17 mpg in the hills of western Pennsylvania. I want this to last me for the next 17 years. Looking like my daily driver, the 2011 F150, is going to get traded in for a 2021 Tundra next year. I've fallen in love with the brand. I was a GM / Chevy guy for 25 years. Toyota just impresses me.

[@Islowelowe]

I bought a loaded Sequoia SR5 4x4, 5.7L, towing package, every option except DVD player & leather (I prefer cloth here in the desert). $53,000. It has 178k mi and no major repairs except a rear main engine seal, probably because its 15 years old! It will last longer than me! I'll gift it to the next generation. I feel sorry for people who bought Ford, GM or Dodge junk. The 3/4 ton trucks with diesels are excellent but still are not as dependable as Toyotas of old. If I could buy a new 2024 Hilux diesel and get it into the US, I would. Would pay any price because they last decades.
