Still daily driving a 20 year old 4th Gen, bought new. Flawless

You deserve way more views and subs than what you have. Always look forward to watching your videos because you go so in depth into cars that no one else cares to talk about. Thank you.

I bought my 40th anniversary last December. I had to reserve it when it was incoming. Drove it off the lot with 2 miles on the odometer. A little over a year later it's been all over. On and off road. 24k miles already and nothing but smiles and great memories! I had it undercoated and that's honestly it. Going to take my time with mods. Tires will be first when they're due. I wanted to jump on the 23' because I wanted the legendary 4L drive train etc. I love how simple it is, zero complains. MPG isnt the best and probably the last modern vehicle with a 5 speed auto lol but worth it in my opinion. Great video! I'll definitely be sad in a few decades when this thing dies. Until then, everyone enjoy!

172k miles on my 2015. Zero issues since new. I’ve never reset the fuel mileage calculator and it’s averaged 19.3. Consistently gets 21 mpg on the highway.

Just picked up a 2021 SR5 4x4 last week and I absolutely love it. I can definitely see this thing lasting well over 10 years

We got a 05 4runner that we had since day 1 and it now has over 233k miles with zero issues and only wear and tear stuff.

I wish this had been the first video I found in my research. It was very thorough. You covered all bases! Thank you!

New sub here. Great video and i concur with all of it. Bought my 4runner in 2023 and absolutely love it. One thing i would mention is that the manual says change the oil every 10k miles. I do it every 5k. It's the way I've always done it and I've heard you're better off. Thanks for the detailed video!

I always appreciate when you do videos like this because you're practical in your reviews and analysis I'm sure I've mentioned it before here but I bought my 2016 4Runner Trail Edition new in late May 2017. I'm closing in on 187K miles on the ODO as of this post. I've had only one major repair (leaking water pump replaced at 108K). Other than that, it's been routine maintenance with normal "wear and tear" items (e.g. brakes, tires, oil, etc). The 4Runner is the last of its kind here in (North) America. Tried and true. Simple and rugged. Nothing super fancy with these rigs but they get the job done on a consistent. If you want a more comfortable ride: go RAV4 or Highlander. You want more power? Go with the Lexus GX460. The same with luxury. Every vehicle has its pros and cons. All the issues that MMG mention are legit but if you're want a mid-size BoF SUV, that is true to that name, look no further than the 4Runner.

I felt like I just watched a well-thought-out and executed college lecture, and it was from one of the good professors. Thanks very much for all the information provided and the extra sources. I learned so much more in 30 minutes than in days of researching.

These are awesome suvs. The rear window is such a cool feature

Awesome Video, Thank you for the GREAT Information!

Great review, love my 2017 4runner ❤

I just got mine I love it! Best that money can buy!

We have two. A SR5 and a Limited....both 2018. Nothing but, praise. The best vehicles we've ever owned.........

I have a 4th gen just hit 400k and my X-reas system is still original and still working well

I have a 2020 4Runner TRD Premium and absolutely love it! After these last years and retiring it only has 14,000 miles and just such a great vehicle! I am past the warranty stage, but have a high payment for 2 more years, so am taking a chance and not getting another warranty on it. It's so solid and great driving and love the heated seat for the lumbar area. I do wish the lift gate was automatic powered.

Love my 4Runner! Worth every dime.

If you compare the 4runner to dog breeds, 4Runner is the golden retriever. Unconditional sweet love, and the best you'll ever own.
