Which Off-Road SUV is King? 2020 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro vs Jeep Wrangler Rubicon - By the Numbers

[@Gas_man]

I’m about to buy a new car and leaning heavily toward the 4Runner mainly because of its track record for durability, low cost maintenance, and value retention. For most people a car purchase is the second most expensive thing they’ll spend money on after their house. Makes sense to me to buy something you can count on being around for a long time and something that will get you a decent return if you ever sell it. I typically hang onto my cars until they die (I hate car payments) so the value of a 4Runner seems tough to beat IMO.

I actually own a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2-door 30th Aniversary Edition AND a 2016 Toyota TRD Pro . From my personal experiences : Just for going Off Road - the Jeep - of course ! For an Every Day Driver - On & Off Road - All Rounder - the 4Runner Wins - Hands Down . If I could only own one of them , My Deal Breaker : I have driven each one on a highway drive , cross country ( traveling as fast as possible - legally ) Reaching my final destination in the 4Runner , I stepped out , feeling like I had been driving around town for the afternoon .

Toyota quality went down hill over the years. I've had about ten Toyotas over the years all trucks, one car. A few years ago I bought a brand new Camry to save on gas for long trips and within the first year the A/C started leaking water into the car, the entire interior got moldy not just where the leak was it spread everywhere it was so disgusting it looked like it had been sitting at the bottom of a river for years. It's happened to a lot of people there's a class action lawsuit against them over it, apparently it's only Camrys for some reason. My brother bought a New Tacoma in 2017 or 2018 and it started leaking oil with in the first few hundred miles, they had to put new seals in his engine. There not what they used to be.

Good comparison. I have owned both. I loved my 16' 4Runner TRDPRO but found it much more limited when going off-road. I now have the 19' Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon with the 2.0 Turbo engine and I must say the longer that I own it the more I love it. Yeah, It has a few drawbacks for DD but even putting 37" tires on it I still get better MPG than I did with my 4Runner, much better actually. 4Runner=16-18 MPG My Jeep with 37's and a 2.5 inch lift=19.5-22.2 MPG. That's crazy I know but it is a fact. My 4Runner though was much more sporty feeling and handling, def a better DD and the creature comforts where better. Plus there is that Toyota reliability, so far my Jeep has been great, of course, I don't bash it on the rocks like some people do so I feel mine will hopefully treat me better than the others who beat theirs to hell and back. This is my own personal experience of course and is not indicative of everybody else's experience. Good job as always man, Love your work keep it coming!

These are pointless. This is like comparing an ATV to a pickup truck. One is smaller. Shorter. Every angle is better on the smaller, boxy vehicle for off-roading. Now reliability is a different story. Jeep doesn’t stand a chance in that respect.

[@robertt2005]

When I was looking at getting into a mid sized vehicle, the 4Runner and a four door Jeep were my two choices. I do live in Utah so a Jeep may be the best choice when thinking about places like Moab but I wanted something more for taking “Sunday” drives and being able to go off pavement when I could, get into some backcountry alpine lakes to wet a hook plus the reliability had to come into play. So for the type of off roading I do the 4Runner fit the bill, especially with its $40k price tag for a new ‘19 Off-Road Premium at that time. I did add on a 3” OME lift and I’m running a slightly bigger 32” BFG KO2 tires. I’ve had Tacoma’s and a Jeep Cherokee in the past with open diffs so this 4Runner is a big upgrade with its off road features such as a rear locker and crawl control. I don’t see myself using the crawl control much, if at all but I do like the availability of having a rear locker. I have however found myself using the A-Trac more than locking in the rear locker. I’ve had the 4Runner for about a year and a half and I’m very happy with it!

June 2020 will make it 3 years since I got my 2016 Toyota 4Runner Trail. As of today, I've put 101K miles on the odometer. And as most could imagine, I haven't had one issue yet. I don't think I'm going out on much of a limb by saying that I don't think I'd have the same experience with a Jeep Wrangler. The JLU would be a cool vehicle to own but I know what I'll get out of the 4Runner every single time I hop in the driver's seat.

[@NaijaBoiTellEm]

@The Lovely Lover Lisa Page To each their own. The 4Runner is still made in Japan. That goes a long way in reliability. If the 4Runner was made in the Americas, your point about Toyota becomes more valid. I'm guessing you don't do as much driving as I do. I can understand why the Wrangler would be more appealing. There is no way that I could trust an FCA product more than one from Toyota.

And it is far more reliable, i always have that Fiat feeling at the back of my head when i think of Jeep.

But of course you won’t be able to get a front locker or sway bar control, but you still get better articulation than on any IFS setup! Oh yea one more thing, as a Canadian, hows that “free” heath care? Please remember to have fun and stay safe!

You guys know the 4runner was not ment to go head to head with the Jeep Wrangler. But when it's the only one that can even get close enough to it.

Great Review thank you 4 Runner all the way 👍🇺🇸 The Vermonter

Was just thinking about this match up last night! This is honestly the best car review I have seen on KZbin. Keep it fellas.

The 4runner does not have recovery hooks.Those hooks you described are "shipping tie down hooks". They are welded to the core support and will bend your core support if you attempt to use them as recovery hooks.

[@kellyfontes7757]

Thanks for that. I'm considering The unlimited or the 4 runner for a weekend off road vehicle.

Wheres the reliability factor in the comparison, the fact that the Toyota 4Runner will last for 200,000+ miles with regular oil changes and the Jeep will get to 150,000 and need an engine rebuild.

I live in northern Michigan and own both of these vehicles. My Jeep JK has 35 inch tires with a upgraded suspension with 3.5 inch lift. My TRD pro is stock from factory. Love driving the jeep with the top off. Don't do any rock crawling around here. But because of the daily driving to work, the comfort, and the handling in snow (we get 150-170 inches of snow) I can't do without the TRD pro. Serious offloading, yes the jeep modified is more capable. But the amount of time utilizing it's full capability is so infrequent that if you need a reliable offloading daily driver, and you get snow, you will probably enjoy the TRD pro more.

[@billp5424]

As an off roader the Jeep is marginally better. As a daily driver the 4 Runner is head and shoulders above. Combine that with Toyota reliability and resale value and the choice is clear.

[@SSMJ]

Depends where you off road lol. None of my four-wheeling buddies would share that opinion and they drive 4runners. They each have areas where they are better, but don't kid yourself when it comes to if the Jeep is better at doing hard offroad obstacles. You should buy based on what you need, but don't downplay the other's strengths.

[@mattbrew11]

4 door wrangler rides close enough to the 4 runner not to matter. Solid axles are vastly superior off road. The resale value is equal on both and the reliability is similar. Difference is the dated motor and the dinosaur transmission on the 4 runner

[@Ulghart]

I'll go with the 4runner as an excellent overall suv. Great on road and off road, way more reliable than anything that Mopar produces. Now, if we are talking about a vehicle to take off road seriously, like doing everything.... Meh, I'll go with a Sherp ATV....

[@FLAWLSS1]

If only the Rubicon was reliable!!! Because the looks alone are amazing and better looking than probably all off-road capable vehicles.

[@fenceman53]

What’s up with these negative comments? Didn’t your mother teach you “If you can’t say something nice just say nothing at all?” For off road Jeep of course . Lockers front and rear cannot be beat . All these “modes” a bit of smoke and mirrors if not backed up by lockers.

[@patterguitsit7124]

As for the cost you know the Jeep dealer will knock off like 15k off the top but Toyota won't budge at all on sticker price.

[@ojbarberena7090]

When you quote the HP and torque ratings please let us know at what RPMs. This is important because torque at 6500 RPMs is not useful while off road. Luv your channel

Toyota will probably be more reliable and will be better on road. The Jeep is easier to mod due to the aftermarket and will be better off road. Just depends on your use. I prefer the Jeep, personally.

Toyota needs to make a 4 runner that has a V8 gas or diesel with front lock and all the features it already has also a 5 speed with a super crawl mode for heavy pulling and increase its towing capacity, also better to access recovery hooks 2 front 2 back and a easier to access trailer plug and then you couldn’t beat it

The color of the JEEP sure looks good. I just dont think it will outlast a Toyota for quality and reliability. The location for the wiring harness on both are totally stupid. The tow hooks on the 4 Runner are idiotic...like my 13 Taco. I do not understand why Toyota would redesign/rethink the tow hooks. The powertrain of the 4 Runner is bullet proof.

Jeep is obviously the better off-road vehicle by far. Front locker, disconnecting sway bar, solid axles, superior ground clearance. This isn't even a fair comparison. Plus, you can get it with a V8 engine!

[@rickjcroberts2672]

Appreciate the attention to detail in the specs but it's not an "Off-Road" comparison if you don't take'em off roading. Toyota will kill the Jeep in creature comforts, everyone knows that but Jeep owners don't care so much about those things, and that Rubi will flat out go where that Runner cannot. Toyo's are cool, excellent vehicles. We have two city cars/ suv's but my Jeep is for the trails.
