2024 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro: Old Doesn't Mean Worse! 

I agree. But if I had to be picky, I would prefer the new Tacoma infotainment software in the 4 runner. I would also change the knobs to above and below the screen so you can make the screen wider. And it would be easier to use the phone and apps button. Also include a dedicated back button instead of seek and track since you already have a track rocker knob over there that works well! Powerlift isn't a deal breaker. I would move the heated steering wheel button over to the camera view button. To me its too close to the ignition and hard to see if you are driving. And camera view button would be better right below your console where your wrist rest. Also cameras in there needs to be higher quality. These cameras are useful but they look like they are from 2008 Auto lock when walking away could be more ideal. They have a pretty useless feature on the handle to also lock the doors. But it seems hard to get right every single time. So removing that (other then access) and adding auto lock would be great. I added alot here but it isn't too much tech added. Mostly it's just fixing what it already has. Also please remove the press to accept the caution screen on start up! That thing is annoying and can get frozen!

Oh and one smaller thing I would adjust is just make that cubby under the AC a bit wider if possible. It doesn't fit phones like the galaxy note. Not sure if the thickness of its sides needs to be that way to keep it sturdy or not. I didn't like the double clock at first but now I love it since when in car play they push the clock down to the bottom right hand screen. I tend to look ar the digital clock alot more then the one on the screen

@@DJSkandalous minimal changes. Surely the cam and screen quality is not up to date. I don't need a big screen. I don't see the need for multiple big screens in a car. I'm not watching movies in my car. Just a new software and maybe a better resolution for the screen. Better cams would be a plus especially when it gets dark. A car/truck is a tool for me. It needs to be functional and reliable first... then comes the design.

I currently own a 2021 Ram 1500 and that Etorque 5.7 has been a POS. Really looking into one of these, can’t beat that Toyota reliability.

Stupid

That’s probably not a coincidence.

It should, it's one of the oldest cars on the road. The least it could be is reliable.

​@@MercOne lmao oldest 🤣 do you want 14 inch screen buddy. It has rear roll down window. Bedt car SUV ever produced

@@mrdato116No just a modern engine, transmission and un-shitty dynamics. It’s sad that you think a screen is all this relic is lacking. Best SUV ever produced is sheer delusion.

​@MercOne You must be a bronco owner let me know when it's out of the shop.

The 2025 4Runner is slated to be powered by a turbo 4 cylinder. I think I will keep my V8 4Runner until it dies. 😁

Way better is a stretch. The pros have crazy resale

Definitely why I just bought one. New ones may have less reliability when they introduce a new engine and tech.

Same. Bought a 23 ORP in September and loving it.

I have an ORP coming this month (in underground) for this same reason. Get one before they are gone.

@@johnrolling6632 Heck yeah congrats. What color did you go with? Doing anything fancy with her?

@@brads1545 You got it. I'm not personally a fan of underground but I'm loving this car!

ayyyy look at all of us buying the last of the 5th Gens lol. I'm getting a 2024 TRD Pro in Underground in a few weeks. SO stoked!

Fits in my standard sized garage well

Beeping

5 speed automatic 🤢🤮.

It could be updated but where’s the fun in that?

No! It could be updated a lot!

Lmao, the button is in a horrible place too. Too close to the ignition and the steering wheel blocks its view of it while driving.

I’d get one for $40-45K That price seems extreme

You missed the whole point. Its not about having the latest options and tech. If you are a serious outdoorsy person and offroad than the 4runner is the better choice out of all the suvs on the market. The rest of the suvs are soccer mom mobiles.

4runner. Tacoma transmission sucks

I forgot, I don't want that ugly backet on the top either.

Yeah that 99.8% of people don't need.

Won’t breakdown like Jeep or ford.

And the value is already way high.

Will be higher Tight now you can get these at sticker or less if you’re lucky @@brads1545

This 5th gen 4runner is the last old school reliable body on frame suv Toyota will ever sell again with the 4.0 v6. Id rather take the 4runner

Good luck with a future engine failure

People who buy these don't care about any of that. This is 20 plus year vehicle to keep around. So people who buy these will gladly eat that price for 300,000 plus miles of usage.

@@jonathanjones2722 suckers!

@@jonathanjones2722 that’s kinda dumb.

@@vg2480 I think the people who buy these vehicles would disagree. Dumb or not, I'm willing to wager these vehicles will still be running strong 20 plus years down the line. Analog tech will always last a long time. Power tailgate and anything power will only fail and cost years down the line. Fuel economy may be horrible, but that engine and powertrain is proven and reliable. That engine of the 1GR-FE V6 engine and transmission combination literally are driving around to this day since their introduction in 2002.

@@jonathanjones2722 the interior looks like it’s 20 years old. It’s way overpriced 🤣

Yes, this will be the last year I believe

Actually, I'm wrong. After some research, 23's were sometimes getting fitted with the old wheels. I've found some videos of 24's with the new hexagonal wheels. If the center doesn't look like a hexagon, choose a different Pro. (Unless you don't want the flow-formed oem wheels with a slightly more glossy finish)

I was thinking that too

@@lordrayden3045 They could have easily put this at 24,000 or 28,000.

@@you3iman No, I’m actually realistic

ORP is a better option IMO

I bought mine for $58k, came with some nice upgrades from the factory. I was between an off-road premium, or pro, and ultimately went pro, and I’m so glad I did.

RIGHT!

Everytime me and my husband get ready to upgrade our vehicle we look at the 4Runner and nothing has changed so we end up going with something else.
