I wouldn’t have bought this highlander if it would’ve had the 2.5 liter turbo . He said oh they have more power and they’ll surprise you .

Sold my 2004 4Runner SR5 and it was still running fine but wanted to get one last “new” one before they changed motor.

[@GXMAN16]

The prices are crazy, I've bough a 2017 TRD Pro Tacoma brand new, the cement color one, at the time I paid 40k even out the door, I remember a PRO 4Runner was around what you paid for your base SR5, that's just wild. Nothing has changed in 2024 models over the past 7 years to justify $10K. They got heated steering wheels now and power seats, thats doesn't cost 10 grand even with inflation.

[@MILGEO]

I have to say that the 2005 4-Runner that I used to have was probably my favorite vehicle that I've ever owned! I would have kept it for a lot longer except that I discovered the frame had rot holes and the transmission cooling line rotted a hole in it by 2015. I traded it in with only 75K miles for a Rav-4 since the new 4-Runners that year were much larger and I really didn't meed more space. It had a 6 cylinder with a lot of power! I'd get a kick out of stopping at a light with some kid next to me in a little, small sh^i box revving up like he was gonna leave me in the dust. The light turns green, and without hardly any effort he was way back there loud and getting farther behind! 😅

When I'm not towing, it averages 21-22 mpg, which, for its multipurpose capability, is fine with me. The ONLY thing I don't like about it is that stupid oil filter canister! It's messy and a significant waste of time every oil change!

[@Kdavis8377]

I remember when they first announced the creation of the airbag. It was developed to protect people who refuse to wear their seatbelt. So, conversely, if you wear your seatbelt, you don’t need the damn airbag. I don’t really like airbags. I like to to wear my seatbelt instead. If you rely on an airbag and a sensor fails, then what? And further insurance companies have a policy of totaling vehicles when the airbags go off, so a little fender bender could conceivably cost you your brand new car

@@ArcoZakus Scotty has actually mentioned multiple times he recommends 4 cyl on Toyota sedans because spark plugs are easy to change unlike the V6. I know the Avalon is V6 only but yeah that's the price to pay

[@ArcoZakus]

@@Argedis , Yes, I have seen those videos and agree. The second generation Camry my wife drove for 17 years was great to maintain (DIY), but underpowered for its weight by US standards. All the cars I have owned have had four cylinder engines so I didn't mind that part, but she had owned big American cars with V8s before that so that was her biggest complaint about that Camry. She loved how it looked, how comfortably it rode, and did not mind the mushy handling, which was my least favorite thing about it. i was impressed with the design, quality of materials and manufacturing, and ease of maintenance. By the time it needed to be replaced she really wanted something roomier with MOAR POWER. The later generations of Camrys had gotten a more powerful inline four cylinder engine and more interior space, but less attractive interior materials so as to not intrude into the more recently introduced Lexus's space. In true Scotty Kilmer fashion we found a used Avalon that was a better buy than comparable Lexus models that met her demands for luxury, space, and performance. The Avalon was not bad looking, either IMO. Similar trade-offs between comfort vs. handling as the Camry, but much roomier inside while not too much larger outside. Also much better acceleration than the older Camry.

Got my 2019 Toyota Corolla. I’m a happy camper because I don’t take it off roading, I take to work, run errands etc. knock on wood, but im just saying, I see SO MANY Toyotas that are NEVER on the side of the road.

[@rebeltake]

I own a 2020 TRDORP, you can change out the plastic filter housing for a metal OEM Toyota filter housing, one of the best mods, your welcome :)

[@CJColvin]

Awesome video Scotty, we have a 2023 Toyota 4Runner with a 4.0L V6 and man we love it.

[@GS-zc4sk]

Was hoping they would Enhance the 4Runner current V6 with a hybrid model. They did BUT, its in the Lexus TX 550h. 30mpg with a Combined 404hp & 33 miles EV capability for short trips.

[@lanesworld4000]

The 4Runnner is the best 👌 👍 Unfortunately the MPG'S are really 👎 bad. 😮

[@Freemasonshair]

Reliability > MPG

[@lanesworld4000]

​@@FreemasonshairThe V6 Highlander is almost as good as a 4Runner. Almost. 😂

[@Freemasonshair]

@@lanesworld4000 almost, I’ll take the 5 speed and body on frame over the 6speed/8 speed unibody, especially over the 8 speed

[@lanesworld4000]

​@Freemasonshair 4Runner is the best! I never go off-road in the Highlander. Sport mode improves the 8 spd a lot.

Why is Toyota constantly downsizing their motors and hanging turbos on them? Turbo lag, less real torque and horsepower are destroying proven vehicles with these types of changes. On multiple Toyota's mpg suffers, the towing capability is diminished in the mid size Tacoma, 4 Runner and who knows what is next. Ford (Fix Or Repair Daily) at least still has a V8 available. So in an attempt to meet CAFE standards Toyota has taken steps backward with their move to 4 cylinder turbos and producing vehicles that will not have the longevity of earlier models. Personally I would not want to launch or pull my boat out of the water with a 4 cylinder turbo due to turbo lag and how it affects control of launching or retrieving a 20 foot, 3800lb wakeboard boat 4 cylinder turbos just can't handle this type of load in and out of the water at a busy launch ramp.

[@davep4610]

Great video. But many "automotive journalists" expect the 2025 4Runner to have the same 4 cylinder options as the 2024 Tacoma (with and without hybrid).

[@richardtracey7216]

I gave up with small cars and have bought a Lexus rx450 h with 3.5 v6. Proven reliability and quality. I have accepted the mpg, but find it manageable.

[@joek1978atyahoo]

My 4 runner is an 18... Love it...... Not to mention the 6th gen Runner they're eliminating the power rear window.. that's the staple of 4Runnee... I'm pissed at that

[@bmarla1313]

New ones still have sliding rear glass

[@bigbluemsp]

Scrapping the V6 in the Camry is a huge mistake. The 4 in those aren't a turbo and they're dump slow. Less reliable all in the name of fuel and environment

I'm definitely going to get a 2024 4Runner. I just wish there were cooler colors like that Cavalry blue or voodoo blue

Underground will likely have higher resale value later since its last for the 5th gen, pseudo Trd pro treatment

[@TheSaturnV]

2000 3rd Gen Limited 4x4 with E-locker. Will never get rid of it.

[@J.Young808]

I wish I had gotten a 1996 4x4 4cylinder Manual 4Runner back in college instead of my 1996 Honda Accord manual (good car nonetheless). I would still have that vehicle I bet.

[@theredscourge]

For towing in the smaller trucks, Hybrid AWD could make up for the turbo, but there's really no substitute for a V8 in a Tundra unless they did a supercharged V6. I don't think I've ever seen true 4WD combined with Hybrid AWD before though.

[@turbo32coupe]

Bought a 2024 4Runner last week. Best purchase since my 2013 F150 SuperCrew 5.0L Coyote. Get them before they are gone. I build turbo hotrods. Turbos make great power, but the constant heat soaking takes it toll on longevity. A good NA engine will last over 200K miles. BTW, I paid dealer cost for the 4Runner. Interest rates are killing the car market. Dealer had to unload these vehicles because they weren't selling their allocation from Toyota. A 4.0L or larger turbo engine running 5-7 pounds of boost will last forever, but a 2.7L 4 cylinder at 20 lbs. of boost is not going to hold up. Buyer beware.

[@CJColvin]

Exactly mate, for me I chose the 5.0L Coyote V8 over the Ecoboost anyday

[@JamesSusanka]

they still need to make these with the v6 - go ahead an sell some with a turbo four and see what sells more. my money is on the v6.

[@pipepicasso8112]

Thanks Scotty for increasing the value of my 23 TRD Pro 4Runner Solar Octane. Even though, I will never sell it.

[@rogerthat-b4u]

The crappy EPA is driving fuel economy increase so we get stuck with four banger underpowered vehicles ☹️

[@kkkkkk8350]

Scotty you are the best.💪 Greetings frm Poland.👍

[@MatthewBenton-t2b]

I totally agree with you I don’t think they should get rid of the v6 and V8 engines either! I don’t think it has anything to do with fuel mileage, but they have to change to be compliant with the stupid government emissions standards.
