Toyota knocked out of the park their Minivan which is going to be a real problem for...drum roll please... *TOYOTA.*

[@IsmaelMartinezPR]

If it's based on the Tacoma we will get a cheaper, less refined vehicle. We used to get a Prado, now we will get a pickup truck. Just check the weight of a door in a Tacoma vs any 4 Runner. The 4 Runner has an overbuilt feeling we are about to loose in the name of profits.

[@khnguyen141]

This is the only time where I’d wish Toyota would be like Jeep. Keep the exterior, and update the interior.

[@Kenneth_R]

Bingo! The exterior is still good looking.

[@GeoBob-xf3hh]

no

[@springertube]

Dump the unfortunate overwrought origami Darth Vader front end of this last "refresh" on most trims, especially bad on the Pro. The more conservative TRD Sport front end by far the best looking of the current variants, IMO, too bad it's not available on others... almost harkens back or pays homage to some mid gen Land Cruisers, Tacos, etc Marry that more grown-up look with the Pro and other variants' fun bits and you have something. Keep the basic package of the rest of it, just-right size, etc, other than obvious powertrain changes (what we need is a good inline turbo 6 or even 5!) and some interior refinement like some first rate (comfort) seats) - and clean up the center stack and - without going too digital. Generally, don't fix too much what ain't broke. I do like that the AC vents are still "normal," ie up high/face level versus being forced below by the high screens these days, and I like that the screen is at least integrated into the dash... keep the plasticky, blocky sharp angle / edge tacked-on screen crap down that seems to be epidemic now. Not opinionated on this am I?!

[@andyham6094]

@@springertubeyou trippin. This guy really said the trd sport is the best looking. I think nobody agrees with you besides the soccer moms. Trd pro is by far the best looking and most aggressive. They won’t keep the same exact design. They will refresh it but Toyota has already come out and said it won’t sway far from what the 4Runner has always been throughout its history. It’s gonna look even better and I’m a 5th gen owner of a built up sr5 and it’s time for a new design. They won’t keep the same after the 5th gen has been around for as long as it has. But the trd sport is literally the most worthless trim they added on just to squeeze out every penny out of the 5th gen. It basically looks like the city slickin limited trim. Brings shame to the trd name.

[@springertube]

@@andyham6094 To each their own for sure, sounds you're tripping yourself on the Kool Aid. I would've thought must be a Gen Y fanboi til I heard how many gens...the front end on the currents is an overwrought embarrassment looking like it was designed by an 11 year old in "study hall."

[@fahler14]

New 4 runner will be sweet . Love what toyota is doing design wise with tacoma, gx, sequoia, tundra. However get the 5th gen while it lasts. I have a 22 4 runner. I will have 500k miles on it……. See you in 20 years.

[@sha6mm]

Tommy I’m driving a 2022 4Runner TRD Pro and I see all these reviews and knit picking little things. This is my first Toyota as I have had Jeep, Mercury, Ford two, Chevy, GMC and my wife drives Honda CRV. So far I am very satisfied. Also with Work I rent about 50-60 Rentals a year for work. This is a Hunting Truck for Me and I tow a fishing boat, also first time in 35 years I have not had a Truck and this 4Runner is way better off-road, and MPG is better. In 5 years I’ll let you know how good it has been.

[@DMaN333v]

Look a turbo isn’t a huge problem, it’s the hybrid that I don’t want. Just give us the option of a hybrid on all cars and let us decide. I personally would never buy the new sequoia mainly for that reason. It’s way more unreliable and takes up way too much space to the point that the back of the car can’t fit anything, what is the point of a big suv that cannot fit anything in the back. And lastly there is the back window, I use this option all the time, a power back window lets me stick stuff out the back like kayaks and wood which you cannot do with the new window without the glass coming down and shattering on the kayak, wood, etc…

[@Weatherby406]

I bought one last year and I’m going to drive it until they ban it and drag me out of it. Fed up with poorly built American trucks.

[@lanceripplinger8352]

My SUV of choice would be the 4Runner, hands down. Very capable and stout, and made in Japan. Hopefully Toyota will keep making them there. I don't think it matters that it is "old". People buy them because of that. The vehicle is perfection, because it has been around for so long. Why mess with it?

[@DJR5280]

I think this is the peak for the 4 Runner in terms of reliability. Everything in the future will sacrifice some reliability for looks and creature comforts. This may be a highly sought after vehicle in 15 years

[@hollowpoint45acp]

may? it definitely will be

[@adamlfa4546]

Agree. I love my outdated ride.

[@anjansingh3093]

Toyota is building Hybrids and other engines for decades. They won't put a garbage in their vehicles. After 15 years, all will be electric. Toyota trying for 600 miles range battery. There will be no or far away from home gas stations with crazy prices. Used vehicles with ICE price will tank.

[@DJR5280]

@anjansingh3093 Keep dreaming. The grid in thr US can't handle everyone having an electric vehicle and it doesn't look like that's changing anytime soon

[@GeoBob-xf3hh]

umm no they are more reliable NOW than back then!

[@caifan444]

[@caifan444]

Never get tired of these Toyota 4Runner videos !

[@hwyman01]

One word describes why I love my 4Runner. Reliable.

[@steved1880]

I would love to see the new 4Runner to do a modern retro approach like the Bronco. Bring back the 80s removable fiberglass top. Yet, they can do a modern retro.

[@AldermanFredCDavis]

I don't know how the new hybrid Sequoia is selling, but I know I have not seen one on the road. Sad to hear that so many people are willing to trade rock solid reliability, for screens and gadgets. Option wise, all I need is an Aux jack, power windows, and ice cold A/C. LOVE good old dials, levers, knobs, and switches. Just what the American public needs..........MORE things to distract them from focusing on driving.

[@Offshore1977]

Completely agree with your 4Runner predictions. Would be great if 4Runner returns to its roots and brings back the hardtop convertible.

[@scottyellis3442]

I hope they leave the V6 NA in it, I'd much rather have an engine that's way to big for the vehicle that never works than a little engine with a turbo that never quits working.

[@CJ-rk5eg]

You are dead on right about the 4Runner being based on the Tacoma and vice versa. Especially since the Land Cruiser has to be based of the Lexus GX 550. Slotting that below the LX 600 / and Former USA Land Cruiser.

[@philablasta]

I have a ‘21 ORP with 47k miles and I get 21mpg with mostly highway and backroad driving. Definitely wish that it was more up to date, but I bought it for what it is: Extremely Capable and Profoundly Reliable.

[@jcollins1305]

A couple of things I see that could change (and not for the better) No roll down rear window a la the new sequoia, a giant screen which will not fit well with the 4runner, and maybe the biggest change, no longer manufactured in Japan, but in Texas or Mexico.

[@rw0037]

This is my biggest worry. Since every new truck at Toyota has to be based on the new TNGA platform, they will have to sacrifice a lot of the little things that make the 4Runner so great and unique, all in the name of cost cutting, efficiency and increasing profitability. I think like the new Tundra, it'll still be a "good" vehicle, but there will be a lot of little disappointments. It'll be overall larger/heavier but somehow have less useable interior space. It'll be more fragile, finnicky and slightly less reliable. It'll have more generic tech gimmicks, big screens, and fewer manual knobs/levers. It'll lose little things like the roll-down rear window or the overall analog feel that gives it so much character. I really wanted a 4Runner in a couple of years, but that might change now.

[@GeoBob-xf3hh]

Not being made in Japan is horrible

[@Sonic_Axe]

I recently purchased a 2022 TRD Pro 4Runner, and I like it much more than I thought I would. To me, it is the perfect size, comfortable, handles great even on the road (better than most people say). I totally get the comments on the powertrain; however, I added a pedal commander, and this really improved the way it accelerates and shifts gears. It doesn’t seem to hunt the gears as much as before. The engines actually feels plenty powerful with good torque. I did not think that until I added the pedal commander. And it is just a solid vehicle that you know will be reliable and is fun to drive. As far as tech, it has everything I need: 360 cameras , blind spot monitoring, cross traffic alerts, apple car play, Bluetooth, phone and voice commands. I don’t need anything else. The biggest downside is the mpg, but I look at it from a total cost of ownership perspective. What additional costs I pay in lower mpg will be offset by less repairs.

[@jasontorrance7199]

I'm NOT looking forward to change. Change means new problems, new headaches and more trips to the garage for repairs (potentially). From what I've see and heard, the newer 5th gens are flying off the lots more so then years past, consumers want a reliable vehicle that is tried, tested and true. If you've been a Toyota fan most of your life then you'll know and understand that most of us do not want or need all the gidges and gadgets. We like the basic, reliable functionable options that come with the 4runner. So call it "old" or a "dinosaur" but that's what we like, this is why 4Runner is what it is today. Hoping for minimal changes.

[@Expressionistix]

The Car Care Nut (Toyota mechanic) has proven that the first few years of major Toyota refreshes have NOT been very reliable. Especially with new engine introductions.

[@sultanniazi2394]

Personally owning two of them. Solid and need no change. If one wants fancy get a fancy GX or LX. Leave this the way it is.

[@lilrobbie2k]

Just bought a 2021 SR5 Premium with XP Predator package. It's basically my dream car and I love everything about it! Look forward to seeing what Toyota does with the new 4Runner.

[@njrivetelite]

I REALLY wish the 4runner could retain it's V6 even in Hybrid.. I really don’t like this huge push for everything to be 4cyl.. I hope it has that cool new body of the GX550 with a similar grill that it currently has. It would be cool if that outlet in the cargo was a 1500W like the sienna. I know since the TACO is 4cyl that the 4Runner will be too.. but I wish...

[@paulriley6061]

I’m glad I bought my 2021 4runner before car prices went crazy! 50k for a TRD off road is moving into nope territory A positive is that the next 4runner could at least have a 3rd pedal, although i would love to see a removable top like everyone else. I’m sure the next gens turbo will be dead reliable.

[@Toby_Flenderson_1982]

The fact that TFL highlights a 14 year old vehicle one in every few videos shows just how perfect it is. Toyota, keep this formula. Durability > (is great than) the latest gizmos and ever-changing emissions standards. By the way, only so called reviewers care about the latest tech. And sure, many consumers, but not 4runner shoppers/buyers/owners.

[@mdgeist472]

"Silver ball" = silver lining + crystal ball.

[@CJ-rk5eg]

Amazing how Tommy can keep talking and talking and talking.

[@theotherbrad5650]

I would bet that the new 4Runner will also be made in North America and not in Japan. Having been a Toyota watcher for years, it's becoming clear that where the GX and T4R shared a platform and manufactured along side one another, that's likely to change and the (just announced) Land Cruiser will take that spot. I'd also bet that this is an effort by Toyota to keep the T4R's price at around a $40k starting point. The new TLC will start at $65k and be priced just below the GX. I'm sure the ne T4R will be great, but it will diverge (as Tommy said) from the GX platform and be Taco-based.

[@BigAltimaEnergy719]

It would make sense to move its production from Japan, they don’t sell it over there so why produce something that not gonna sell in their own country?

Have a 23 Tundra and love it. 25' 4Runner built off of the new 24' Taco would be a great addition for us esp for rock crawling and tougher trails. The 4Runner is just a grinder and if they can keep that lineage going it will be a huge hit. It could fine a new gear in terms of sales imo if they do it right.

I really don't care about the 4Runner been so ancient tech (Thank goodness for timing chain, dual port and direct injectors, no turbos, no clutches like AWD cars, small wheels and more rubber tires, etc). Suits my wife's don't care driving style, extremely reliable powertrain for our trips to smaller things like roll down rear glass for my dog even lift up cargo door when its raining / snowing (not barn doors).

[@jpmiller99]

Isn't Toyota having problems with the turbocharged engines in the Tundra. Turbocharging is not innately a problem, but more components, more heat etc leads to reduced reliability by it's very nature.

[@dcpiloti9756]

There is a bunch of rumors saying the new Land Cruiser(Prado) will replace the 4Runner. I guess we'll find out soon enough!

[@mikemayers8672]

This is a great daily driver. That’s what you look for in a vehicle Very few take these off road. It’s comfortable around city and highway. Now is the time to buy one because if they increase the price $5k no gas savings on the new model will cover that.

[@theroamingcolt]

Been on the fence about getting a 2023 4Runner (TRD Off-Road Premium) or sticking with my 2020 Max Tow Sport S Jeep Gladiator 😬 if the 4Runner could haul more it'd be an easy decision. I want either to be my LAST vehicle and Toyota's reliability is what has me questioning my commitment to the Jeep

[@IsmaelMartinezPR]

The 4Runner faithful are getting the short end of the stick in the name of profits. Toyota instead of a continuation with the Prado based lineage of the 4th and 5th Generations decided to make - would be Next 4Runner- the new Land Cruiser in the US. In a profit taking move, Toyota will raise the price of the Prado based vehicle by $15,000 and make the 4 Runner out of a cheaper less refined pickup truck. A Tacoma with a box in the back. Compare the weight of door of today’s 4 Runner vs one of the Tacoma. The Tacoma door feels light and flimsy in comparison. My last gripe are the reviewers. They all have drunk the cool aid and have not called out Toyota on this. They are celebrating that consumers will get less in the next 4 Runner, treating the Land Cruiser as it’s a new vehicle and just repeating all that the Toyota press releases say. Why wont you call out this to Toyota, “why are you screwing the 4 Runner consumers”, That would be a start.

[@Toe_Knee_69]

Keep the exterior, put the Tundra TTV6 and 10 speed in it. And PLEASE get rid of the 4 shades of mismatching interior plastic trims (fake carbon fibre, gloss black, matte black, and silver). It’s disgusting

[@sinkorswim777]

I don’t get the new Tundra and Sequoia comparison you made Tommy. I mean I do, but I don’t. I get why people think they’re matchy but…when you really look at them…I mean really break them down…they’re not. The Tundra is an absolute flop. I mean top to bottom, left to right, inside and out they are just the worst thing Toyota has ever done (until the new Tacoma dropped). Just hideous and awful. But the Sequoia isn’t. The Sequoia works. It’s balanced. It’s right for what its meant for. They got it right. They really did. Now looking back it’s almost like Toyota flip flopped them. Cause the last generation of both was the opposite. The Tundra looked pretty good and the Sequoia was hideous. You regularly saw people doing tundra front end swaps with their sequoias cause it changed the whole look of the suv for the better and really made it legit. I really feel like Toyota knew that and for some reason instead of just making them both look good this time around said…well we burned the Sequoia last gen so this time around we’ll hook’em up and burn the Tundra. It all makes no sense, but it’s happening. Right before our very eyes it’s happening. The trend they’re on now with new gens (in my opinion) tells me that because the Tacoma; like the Tundra, is so terrible they’ll probably get the next 4Runner right as far as looks. But I do agree with you that they will probably just slap the same Tacoma power train in the 4Runner which would be a terrible mistake. The new Tacoma transmission is fine. But that new power train is trash.

[@JayTdub13]

I think 4Runner goes away or gets fused in with the LC Prado. It’s basically the same truck already. The GX & 4Runner are the same, minus the engines. How do you beat the 5th gen? You kinda don’t.

[@ErvinZerimar-lp8cc]

The new 4Runner plausibly be a rebadged Toyota Fortuner. There's a trend. Toyota Prado is recently been introduced in the US market as the Toyota Land Cruiser..LOL

[@itayrozenstein6989]

Tommy I think you're wrong I understand where you coming from thinking that 4Runner will be based on data, because the Sequoia is based on the tundra but a thing is that we gotta remember Tacoma is assembled in Mexico and designed in the USA as well as the tundra and the Sequoia are designed in North America and assembled in the USA on the Texas plant, the 4Runner is built in Japan, it might be designed for the North American Market but 100% it will be built in thahara Factory in Japan right along with the Land Cruiser so I think we're going to see a lot of features from the Land Cruiser just a cheaper and smaller package

[@abqcrutch]

Look at the 2023 Toyota Prado EXR offered in the Middle East. De-clad it and turn it into the new 4Runner. That said, it only has a center diff-lock, 6-spd and a 4.0 V6, so...

[@johnpan78]

I love 4runner but MPG is a big issue. 4runner is for road trips that is why they are all very high mileage. I don't know how people afford the gas price. If you drive an S class it is obvious you don't care about gas price but 4runner... On the other hand I love this car as is. I don't like a turbo charged 2.4. It's not an easy decision. I drove 1800 miles and I spent a lot of gas money.

[@Seameedog]

The current 4Runner has the X factor. Mix of reliability, looks, functionality (rear window, knobs, rear access) and the Toyota vibe. The only thing that I would change if it was not being redesigned would be to offer a larger gas tank. 24 gallons just doesn't get it done. Hopefully the new 4Runner will not be too expensive, and will have better range. Thanks for the video.

[@georgetown8986]

Toyota is in no hurry to introduce a new 4Runner as they can't build enough of them to keep up with demand and they are able to increase the price each year. Additionally, with the 4Runner's proven reliability, Toyota's warranty expenses are assumed to be quite low in comparison to the German and American competitors. There is a reason the 4Runner is expensive and has arguably the best resale of nearly every vehicle produced....they are a classically bullet proof SUV with sharp classic looks and have a very loyal following.

The front tie downs are NOT recovery points. They're just designed to be used during shipping on the boat from Japan.

They could probably keep it as-is for another 20 years and they'd sell just fine.

Update the grill and headlights, Leave the rear the same, update interior. 4runner is like a rolex, design is timeless.

Toyota has a history that says if they make it there is a good chance it’s issue will be limited.

Do we think the 4Runner will get the 6spd manual like the 2024 Tacoma?

Tommy you can make a vehicle that is outdated and so behind the times look so great with all of your banter and your great comments. When the new forerunner is debuted, I really hope TFL put you on the job to view it and roll it out because you do such a great job.

Turbo tech perfected shall we talk ford trucks when they came out lol sure wasn’t perfected

[@mikemayers8672]

If they raise the price $5k on the new one it defeats any fuel savings new engine might offer.

That cheap looking decal sure cheapens the looks of it !

[@avxrevo]

I just want it to come out already and see how the engine performs.

[@XerxezsX]

If they add a turbo to the Toyota that's like GM unreliability right there😢
