I must be getting old, I like the Limited trim the most. I'm typically a TRD Pro fan but for this generation, the Limited just seems more appealing to me
I don’t know man, to me the limited looks like a muscular RAV4. If I were to buy one I would definitely go TRD OR.. would love the Pro but can’t justify the price difference, probably at least $10k, especially if I never off road with it. I just want a rugged looking SUV I guess.
Jeff, I’m interested in the 2025 Platinum 4Runner. As soon as Toyota will let you review that one please do. Thanks for all the work you do to keep us up to date on Toyota vehicles!
Yeah, they're going backward with the 4runner. Not feeling this at all. Back window roll down is cool. The wheels seem off aswell. Everything looks like a boosted 90s trim.
@@paige_judah5538 Need to go check them out once they get on the lot. I really do love all previous gens and I think a lot of 4runner lovers are particularly fond of the 5th gen as well.
love the look but they made it 4inches longer and 2inches wider and put a 4 cylinder turbo in it to pull the big beast around,theres a lot of strain on a small displacement engine like that-time will tell on the longevity of the motor
Just curious, but why buy a panoramic sun roof on an offroading vehicle at all? I never really understood the whole obsession with sunroofs. I personally prefer my vehicles without a sunroof because it's cheaper.
Agreed, people needa be real and know that the limited trim is not going to be off roading same for the Tacoma limited. I’m loving this update across the board, trading in my ‘23 Prius for the new Camry and trading in my 18’ Tacoma for the new Tacoma limited. Going to be grabbing one of these too for the family.
I do wish they had a larger/somewhat removable roof.... especially with the first gen styling cues. The non hybrid seems like the ticket, the cargo space is so much better and the 2mpg improvement will never pencil
And from all the videos the cabin looks super dark and claustrophobic. The 5th gen at least is pretty open and bright. It's Lexus twin has a piano roof, so obviously it was possible, but Toyota seems intent on going down the GM route of badge engineering. 4Runner, GX, Land cruiser. Now just 3 flavors of the same vehicle.
Literally look like a 3rd gen & 5th gen degen. Love my 5th gen w ith over 180k mi & today omw hike it avg 25mpg. Trust the 5th gen 4.0 v6 gets better w age. It really does. N 4 that I'm out on putting 4 bangers in a 6k.lbs. truck. Just put a 2JZ w a 6spd manual n the 5th gen is what I'm working on as we speak
Thank you Mr. Teague as always for the informative video! I have had several 4Runners in my family, two of which were/are my own. I currently have a 2023 4Runner Limited in Blizzard Pearl that I am just in love with. I don't drive it often, because I like to keep it nice, but when I do it sure does make me happy. Holla for the 6th-Gen 4Runner from North Dakota!
F the haters. They'll be creaming their pants over this one in 20 years when it's tried and true like the current gens. Thing looks awesome and is an improvement all around
As the 4Runner is 4.7" longer and likely wider too, it will weigh even more. The 4cyl TT motor may only keep up with this new larger 4Runner. But we will have to wait for test drives to see if it can have a spring in its step vs being a bit slow.
What Suspension does the new Limited have? XREAS? Or is that gone? Really looking forward to the Platinum Trim. Yes, I’m getting old and want to be comfortable👍😎
Love the blue color. Love the electric tailgate! Even the chrome trim. I usually go with the blackout version. But they failed on the visors. Still using the tiny slide which does nothing. Need to go with the full visor version slide. And I bet they still have the navigation volume separate from the radio volume. It’s to much of a hassle and distracting to go into settings every time you need to change the navigation volume.
Nissan needs to come out with a new Xterra with the Frontier V6. Cheaper, more reliable, not full of unnecessary crap. I have a 2015 Xterra Pro-4X which has been bulletproof.
If Ford decides to release the Everest in your country, it could make for an interesting comparison. Everest Limited vs. 4Runner Limited 2.3L 4-cylinder vs. 2.4L 4-cylinder 296 hp vs. 280 hp or 325 hp (iForce Max) 420 Nm vs. 430 Nm or 620 Nm (iForce Max) 10 speed transmission vs. 8 speed transmission Part-time 4WD vs. full-time 4WD 8-inch instrument cluster vs. 12.3-inch instrument cluster 12-inch screen vs. 14-inch screen 12 speakers B&O vs. 14 speakers JBL More Everest limited features: 21-inch wheel rims 3rd row power fold seats Sync 4 v2 Wireless charging Windscreen mount USB port 8 way power driver and passenger seats 80L of fuel tank Driver alert system Collision mitigation w-post breaking impact Blis w/trailer tow Reverse break assist Rear locking differential Zone lighting Hands-free power lift gate Rain sensing wipers Acoustic laminated windscreen Chrome grill Power fold chrome mirror w-heat and puddle lamps Auto dual zone AC and independent rear row seats (overhead and floor) Electronic rear view mirror Dual panel sunroof Ambient lighting Cargo management system Lane keeping aid Adaptive cruise control with stop and go Off road drive mode Hill launch assist Stop/start system Front & rear parking sensors 360° camera Off road screen and rotary terrain management system Auto on/off head lamps Auto high beam Fully assisted parking aid Pro-trailer backup assist Price: Everest Limited: $51,500 in my country 4Runner Limited: $54,000 (est.) Ford Everest: Ground clearance: 226 mm Approach angle: 30.2° Departure angle: 25° Wading depth: 800 mm I don’t have the approach, departure, wading depth, and ground clearance for the 4Runner because it isn’t sold in my country.
Prefer my 06 V8 sports edition.....the designers need to smooth over the corners, and maybe stretch the wheelbase with a reduced the rear fencer to normalize the back doors.
You said less life span, not life of the turbo. Turbo is a maintenance item like a timing chain. Most things on a car don't last 300k without maintenance. Just my opinion!
@@campingwithale I agree that it would probably be more expensive to be replaced, but I really think any issues would be long term where you'd likely run into other maintenance. NA is most likely more reliable, but I personally am okay with the trade off
We had to wait so long for a baby Sequoia , where did the uniqueness of the Japanese made 4Runner go. Why did this take so long, what a disappointment. The Front end needs to much more aggressive and cool.
4 cylinders?. Horsepower is not good. Only 275 HP The hybrid assist engine is the better choice, but what cost? Higher cost? If I am not wrong, if a company built something in a few hundred, the cost per unit is high, if the company built something in thousands, the cost per unit is low, so why are the Hybrid Assist engine vehicles in the Toyota industry so high in price ? All 4 runners should have 4 cylinder hybrid assists, no other way. Issues with 6Gen : The interior is dark, and the ceiling is dark too. Why does Toyota engineer things that all - Americans want dark interior? Why do we not have a light color option such as a beige or ivory? It's an off-roader if it is ? A limited interior is a truck base. This is not rock crawling , it's an SUV, not a Jeep, the interior should be fancy, not like a tank shape. This interior should be cool looking, not military looking. The gearshift sucks, and the passenger support handle next to the gearshift is a poor idea. Check other vehicles, you can find so much better options. If I love 4runner, it does not mean you can add shit, and you will like something. Please do not force me to love something which sucks. The ceiling is pretty low. This should be a little greater the size of the cabin. So the rear trunk window does not have a wiper ? why? The whole reason Toyota moved over N-TNG is that they want to make a modular design where they can exchange parts, which means that this could help with lower prices. But, this is not helping consumer . Every Toyota designed in 2 years is $10K higher. Thanks
LOL, do you see that too man..??? Damn, all wrong is right. The fender flares look like they were made for a different vehicle, the body lines and creases on the side are way too much, the little window at the side towards the back is angled way up looking so out of proportion.... and more... They were so eager to mix the other gens. plus copy the Tacoma and this is exactly what they get. Nothing creative or unique in this design at all.
Interior and exterior color is horrendous. Really disappointed with it. Maybe over time it will grow on me… I’ll gladly be keeping my 5th gen TRD Off-road Premium.
Looks a little like the 4th gen from the side. I dig it. Def looks better than the tacoma and tundra. The everest color looks great. Finally something that may get me to trade my 21 tundra. Maybe.
Its an offroading vehicle that rattles off the beaten path and you want a glass roof that would crack? Not for this kinda vehicle. I mean a regular sunroof is good on my 5th gen but panoramics crack easier.
Everyone gonna want one, which means you're gonna have to pay over msrp, if you even get your hands on one.... I wanna wait a year or 2, but don't think I would be able to hold out that long.
I’ll curb my excitement until I see prices for each trim level and then again after seeing dealer markups. The nitrogen filled tires dealerships are adding here in NC for 2k…no thanks.
