Does the TRD sport have the MTA . Didn't see in the video.

I was thinking the same thing. I enjoy the humor.

[@VHandley13]

Definitely the Limited. No question. The memory seating, leather seating option, JBL speakers are a must. Actually going to get one.

[@murphyochin6354]

The JBL speaker

[@deplorablechump8758]

Agreed

[@mikemayers8672]

I got trd sport saved 7 k put in my own system better than JBL and softex is actually softer and more durable plus no chrome is a huge plus

[@georgemartinez8984]

I own the limited I’m pearl white. I love it. I don’t go off roading and I don’t really plan on it. I love the features and love the comfort. Very very smooth ride. We added a leveling kit just to straighten out the height and make it look a little more tough. Added some larger tires to the stock wheels. Absolutely love it!

[@khnguyen141]

If i didn’t get the tundra, it would of for sure been the 4R TRD sport. Color matched grill/bumpers, hood scoop, wheels, and an amazing entry price point. This one’s a winner

[@maggieowensby7424]

Great video! Thanks! I just put a deposit down on my new 2022 Lunar Rock TRD sport. I think it’s the perfect balance between ever so slightly “luxury” and sporty! The limited is a bit too fancy for me, and the TRD off road/ pro I would never use it for its intended purpose- so this vehicle is PERFECT for me! I can’t wait!!! ✨😍

[@alfredomuro7310]

I just got that one yesterday in that same color and we love it

[@rumbletweed]

I agree with everything you said. I just purchased a TRD Sport in the Magnetic Grey and absolutely love it. Though I may swap to some TRD Pro 17" wheels down the road. Not a big fan of 20" wheels, but they do look pretty good i might add.

[@taylormoskol1282]

Omg me too!!!!!!!!!!! Lunar rock showcases that it’s a TRD!!!!!!!!! Do you love it!?

[@weems715]

I love everything about the new TRD Sport but lack of an optional moonroof is a deal breaker! :-(

[@cecilsmith1690]

Did I see $699 for LED interior lights? I have a 2016 Limited 4WD and did LED’s myself in 30 minutes for $20……including the puddle lights. Easy DYI. My son and I are fans of your videos…..keep them coming.

[@joeytakach7131]

I’d buy the limited 4Runner. You get so much more. I know we’re not comparing the TRD Pro in this video but I think people who buy that don’t really buy it what it’s intended for. Most people will be driving 90% on pavement which makes the limited the best choice. The only thing I would first buy on the limited is better tires.

[@georgetown8986]

The 4Runner Limited is an absolutely gorgeous SUV. Great driver as well. And the resale is literally second to none! Late model pre-owned Limiteds, etc are bringing more than MSRP and selling instantly. Amazing.

[@Toyotajeff]

I agree with you Yale!

[@baovu2423]

Love the look of the TRD sport but no moonroof, ventilated seats, memory seats, park assist etc. It got less options than my 10 year old car and it cost more lol. It’s hard to think it’s worth 45k and it got nothing. So limited for me.

[@thestig1899]

The only option lacking for me on the Sport is heated seats It looks better than the limited

[@patrickarnold8308]

Nice video, I just bought the 2022 Limited. I had a 2018 Ford Explorer that needed a transmission at 80k miles. Overall I like the Limited. There are things I don't like about it. NO Storage by the driver. I bought a seat caddy to keep my items close by me. NO phone charger. with third row seats down, it is not as deep as the Explorer, so its limited in size. A little louder road noise. NO heated steering wheel. Side Mirrors don't retract in, this is nice in parking lots. 8 inch screen is nice, but the GMC and Ford screens are clearer are nicer. I have to punch too many buttons to get where I want to go. Since I drive a lot, I needed a car that won't crap out on me like my Explorer did at 80k miles. This car will do me fine.

[@rebeccapetties3159]

Toyota Jeff. Thanks for doing such a WONDERFUL JOB on explaining the deference’s of the Toyota 4Runner. I’ve been looking for a vehicle for over two years and I FINALLY made up my mind on what I want.

[@Toyotajeff]

Hi Rebecca! So glad I could help :)

[@peterandrewj]

I like the balance between on-road and off-road with the TRD Sport. Cross link suspension to reduce body roll on pavement, and 4 wheel low with A-TRAC for the dirt trail. I also like the old school looks. The MPG isn't enough of a deterrent. I want one.

[@NorthweSteelheadJunkies]

Same exact suspention on the TRD Sport as Limited including 20' wheels, XREAS, and KDSS

[@marktackman2886]

SR5 With 4wd best starting point for off road. Upgradeable. Toyota sense safety system. LED lights. Skid plates. 75 aspect ratio 17" Goodyear trail tires 31.5 " overall. Stock 8" infotainment good enough. 4 way power cloth seats great. 120v outlet cargo. 2022 $39500 Made in Japan. 16/19 mpg regular fuel. Pros. Tank on wheels. No turbos. Off road super capable. High clearance. Quiet cabin. No rattles off road. Sealed tight. Large cargo capacity. Rear power window. Lots standard features. High quality materials and fit. Excellent Reliability. DIY friendly. Built to last 20+ years. High and fast resale. Cons. Outdated 2000s design. Setup more for off road use than on road. Steering feels heavy on road. Wanders on road. Two handed driving. Slight bouncy handling in turns or braking. Sluggish 5 speed trans on road. 18 mpg expensive on long trips. Low cargo door height when up. While old design and not perfect, Overall better than comparable Wrangler or Bronco IMO. 2023 redesign maybe better.

[@SummitShakaLeathercrafts]

I bought my 2021 Venture Special Edition 4Runner this past July, but I still love watching your videos of all the new 4Runners and the many trims it comes in!

[@victoriae337]

I need some buying tips

[@b.lemire7453]

I had a '15 4Runner Limited and it's a great vehicle. It's reliable as the sun too. That said, the XREAS suspension shocks/struts are *very* expensive to replace. Plan on about $3,800 to fix XREAS when it fails. The 4Runners hold their value very well, too.

[@hippiebits2071]

Or just replace with standard shocks like pretty much everyone does. The XREAS for good for 162k on my '07 threw on some Bilsteins for what it would cost on any similar vehicle and never looked back.

[@b.lemire7453]

@@hippiebits2071 It's a lot less if you live in the snowbelt where salt is used on the roads. XREAS began to fail on my '15 around 70k miles. I bought Bilstein 5100s in anticipation of doing an XREAS delete but ended up trading the 4R before completion. I'm told the handling of the vehicle is definitely different after an XREAS delete.

[@hippiebits2071]

@@b.lemire7453 Good catch...I don't live in the rust belt. It handles like any other 4Runner that never had the system so not a huge deal imho. I think the XREAS might have more of an impact on the 5th gen as far as being noticeably beneficial.

[@aab9828]

It is impossible to find TRD Sport at 4 dealerships around my area.

[@bohan9957]

The TRD Sport has all the trims and features that I do not want in a Limited.

[@LydonLewisDoUbLeZz]

Honestly the Aesthetics of the TRD sport suit me a little better colors and all just give me the sunroof the cameras and the JBL sound system and I'm good to go

l Love my Limited all wheel drive. Excellent during the harsh winters here, I also put Toyo AT3's on it.

[@monicahernandez2876]

The Limited for me. Just put $ down to reserve one off the freight truck. That’s how fast the 4 Runners are selling. Can’t wait!!!

[@1956jude]

Wondering if there will be a 6th Generation Limited Hybrid and what the cost will be.

[@sabast20i]

I like the TRD Sport grey wheels better too... It's a shame they don't offer 3 row seating in the TRD Sport. That would be almost perfect.

[@Toyotajeff]

I wondered the same

[@esgee2464]

Yes! Wish it had 3rd row.

[@Don-md6wn]

It may be that the typical buyer who wants the extras in the Limited doesn't tend to do off road driving, but there's nothing about the vehicle that means it's not extremely capable off road. I bought a used 2018 Limited with 60K miles that was never taken off road by the original owner, but that is going to change after I add steel skid plates and replace the running boards with rock sliders. I have no plans to do a lift or bigger tires because I want a jack of all trades truck that is good for everyday driving and pulling a small trailer cross country as well as driving off road - reasonable driving off road, not trying to crawl through a field of boulders. If there's any reason a stock 4Runner Limited plus body armor can't do anything any of the other stock 4Runner trim packages can do off road, I'd love to hear about it. Features on some of the other trim packages like a rock crawling mode are nice, but if you read the Toyota owner's manual they note they are basically convenience features that add no capability to what the vehicle can do.

Jeff, this is a great comparison as i was wondering about these two trims. This $5K difference between these two vehicles might materialize to about $100 (including financing) more a month for the Limited. I currently own a 2013 Limited and I fell in love with the X-REAS suspension. Such a big difference between the SR5 and this Limited. Solid work!

Hi Toyota Jeff. Love ❤️ ❤️ I still have a 2002 Sport Edition 209k+ miles and Bought my 2nd runner several months ago a 2018 Ltd. I’ve always loved the hood scoops. I knew the Sport TRD was going to look a lot like the Ltd but with the scoop. Love the luxury and the JBL sound on my Ltd but I wish I had the blind spot monitor and panoramic viewer. That’s so cool. It’s on the Lexus too. My nephew is CRAZY for the TRD Pro. When I go visit I give him the key so I hope he can get one soon. Love the videos too. Keep them coming.

[@EnricoMiquiabas]

My TRD Sport here in Canada came with standard panoramic camera and power seat on the passenger side (and all that you've mentioned on the clip). My msrp was at $53k (Canadian dollars).

[@georgetown8986]

The TRD Sport is sharp in the right color. However, it is missing key options which are not negotiable -- heated/cooled seats and a sunroof. Should be offered as stand alone options.

Thanks for all your great insights which is why I chose to buy this exact 4runner 2022 2WD, at your dealership. Since 100% of my driving is normal road it now has 6k miles. I do have an issue and genuine dislike/concern about its transmission. I know it's an old true and tested built but for some reason it is so hard to shift out of park. Everytime it sounds like a harsh grind or bump. I have tried neutral + parking break and then park and it still so hard when I drive it next time to get it out of parking. It doesn't matter if its hot or cold. I took it to toyota and the tech said it was normal. It pulls forward when I shift it to park and when I turn the car off I hear a shutter or a light knock into parking. Please give me your advice since you have driven plenty of them. Or a video about the transmission rocking and if it's hard a normal thing to get out of parking. No transmission- rav4 2020, last year tundra, current tacoma feel this way or even any other first couple 4runner generations. Please help me out. Thank you!

Anyone who is hoping for a better mileage and redesign on the 4Runner, do some digging on what happened to the RAV4, Highlander and Sienna with their 8 speed variable transmission. All of them lost power in performance and aren't actually saving on fuel economy according to reviews but performing worse. Be careful of what you wish for.
