2025 Toyota 4Runner FULL Tour: It's Finally Here! 

The issue of the 4-cylinders is not power. 4Runner's people do not care about power. They care if that engine can arrive to 300K miles without major interventions.

You know something was embargoed when Doug breaks his upload schedule

I have a 2007 with 265k miles on it. No real issues, just the usual stuff you have to replace. Love it, I want to take it 400k

Thank you Doug for making this video. You posted it on the morning of my birthday. I love the 4runner!

Oh how I've missed outdoor reviews! I can see the car so much better and the sound doesn't suck!

The black fender flares make it look like it has enormous empty wheel wells.

Great review! Every other next-gen 4Runner review I’ve watched has left me asking more questions, but you were really thorough! The only thing you didn’t mention in the second row was that you can recline them to give you a little extra headroom. Nice job.

As a Jeep Wrangler owner, I really love how much competition and options are entering the space. The Wrangler JL, Bronco, and now this 4Runner are really pushing the offroad DDs to the next level.

"I'm gonna take you on the most thorough tour yet of the new 4Runner" Doug posted this ONE MINUTE after it was unveiled. It's the ONLY tour of the new 4Runner

2014 4Runner owner here. As of today, I have 326k miles on it and never had a single issue with it, other than the door lock actuators and the air blower. Changed the suspension and the ball bearings once after 250k, so it’s nice and lifted. Bulletproof doesn’t even start to describe this truck.

That engine bay is ridiculously complicated. I've never seen so many cables and hoses in any other engine bay.

Love your videos bro! You do a job I’d love to find! Was most interested in this for the price and 3rd row option. This and Tacoma keep some of the best resale values over time than most other brands and even other Toyota models. Money always well spent!

aint no damn way you'll be able to find these under 70k. The markup on these is gonna be nuts, 4runners already hold their value real well and I would imagine people are gonna be pretty excited by this redesign.

Glad to see that it’s still made in Japan

I've got a 2023 4 Runner and a new Sequoia. Love them both in their own ways. But something tells me the 4 Runner is going to be the one I still have at 300K miles. Just old school tech that simply works. Although, it's never found a gas station it didn't like. :)

I appreciate how thorough you are with all the little details. It's actually kind of rare to find a car review that includes all of that but I always wish people would.

The markups I'm sure will be crazy and you will still see these EVERYWHERE. Probably the most anticipated vehicle in 10 years..

You made an excellent point about where Toyota is heading. They have four line ups with nearly identical pricing and features with the same badge and different model names. I can’t wait to hear my local dealership try to sell me all four cars 🤣🤣🤣

It gives me 4th gen vibes and The reason we like the 4runner is that it's been the same reliable simple tech for so long now hope this new platform doesn't disappoint

Excited to see these on the road, but super glad I've got my 5th gen instead I was worried about getting envious watching the first major review, but the exact opposite has happened happier than ever with what I've got

Doug, the type of guy to skip over the fact you get a, 2,400 WATT!!! Outlet on the back of the front console. Enough to power a microwave or smaller ac unit

I wasn’t expecting this review this quick

This is really an in depth analyses i have ever seen of the 4runner

I love my 2023 TRD Sport, but I'll buy one of these too, and keep both.

I love that there are still buttons and not a sea of screens. I’m old school and I like it to be muscle memory.

Doug - The power and performance of the drivetrain are NOT the issue with any of Toyota's new lineup. Its the lack of simplicity and question of reliability. Enthusiasts want to be able to fix their car on the side of the road, not be forced to go to a dealer. I get offering these i4/hybrid drivetrains, but not even having the option of a NA V6 (or V8 in the Tundra) is the difference between multiple people I know choosing American despite being big Toyota fans.

There needs to be a national standard on how big infotainment screens can be. Soon people will be driving around with 65” inch screens in the their cars 😂

People didn't want the 6 cylinder in the tundra and they aren't going to want a four cylinder turbo in the 4runner.

I like that this model pays tribute to old 4Runners with the curved rear windows. Neat quirk.

Doug’s the type of guy to love the 4 Runner and buy a Sequoia

Loveed when he pointed out the curved rear glass on the trunk. This is heritage retro throwback to the 80s and early 90s 4Runners and it looks AMAZING, reminds me of safari trucks

It's interesting how he just ignores how this is the first time there is power lift gate on the runner

This is a special video since Doug is not wearing shorts.

Dude, the way you feel about the camo seats is how we felt in the 90s about the confetti seats. Love it now

Good ol Doug, no 30 seconds or less. Good ol 30 mins ❤

I don’t do off-road at all but this 4Runner is really amazing and useful. I love all the storage area, the lights, the lift up glass, etc. Is there any alternative like this but not necessarily off-roady? Or the functions they design for the off roading is just too darn useful for everyone 😂

Thank you Doug! I was so excited for this!!!

Right at 10:15pm lmao

You’re so quick with it Doug

2014 4Runner owner with 410k miles original engine and trans. Changed oil every 3k and trans fluid drain and fill done every year. This new one with the 4cyl turbo won’t last long and it will have problems similar to the ones put in Tacoma/Tundra.

Doug, I sometimes am critical of your videos. But…when you do your honest and in depth reviews I always react the same way, he does the best all around reviews. So thanks for being true to your strengths. And I’m with you, those camouflage seats should be options, they may be a deal breaker for some…

Predicted the interior before even watching, big knobs! Big screens! Big shifter! Big storage compartments!

Hey Doug, you should show a little video clip of the stabilizer bar actually disconnecting and also the video view so we could see what that all looks like. Keep up the cues and F’s.

The rear household plug in is for portable refrigerators for overlander types.

As always great informative and detailed videos! Thanks.

Just took delivery of my 2023 TRD OR. So far I love it. It’s got no sunroof, no heated seats, but all the trail stuff for wheeling. Can’t wait to test it all out. Had two Third Gen’s so decided to treat myself

I picked up a new 2023 Limited last fall. I love it. Not sure I see enough here to jump from 5th generation to 6th generation. I expect my 5th generation to last a long time.

first time watching this channel. love the bill nye/ alton brown vibes this guy has. perfect for breaking down specs lol. sub and will be watching more!

Doug so wealthy he don’t even use a phone case 😫

I'm not sure about the engine, but I fell in love with the looks of the new 4-Runner instantly. God, this looks great!

That turbo 4cyl is actually really good and responsive. The turbo lag is not noticeable

It's a great looking new generation. Hopefully we'll learn more about the suspension. I was hoping for some changes in that area too. I guess we'll find out with the driving test.

Great review!! Thanks as always Doug 👍🏼🤩🙌🏼🤙🏽

Thank you! Just was about to look for a review on this car.

Can we see cheaper models that aren’t solely focused on offroad and >$70k? 😅

getting rid of v6 is a clown move. we don't want turbos and hybrid batteries to have more things that need repairs. the reason people buy Toyota is dependability. Turbos and more computers and more batteries don't = dependability.

I love that they brought back the rear glass that wraps up into the roof from the first and second gen! That's so freaking cool man!

Looks really good. I wish the fenders where matte or satin

Im so exiceted lets gooo ! After 15 years we finally have it the one and only Toyota 4 runner i myself have two of these beasts.

Already preordered the Trailmaster edition. 3rd on the local dealership list behind two Toyota employees. 🤙🔥

Doug reminds me of a young Robert Deniro doing a bad Quentin Tarantino impression for some reason.

Looks amazing, but a 4 cylinder turbo is a dealbreaker for me. I understand this is driven by regulations, but of all Toyota models you’d think they’d do anything to retain the proven reliability of an NA V6 in their off-roader

Awesome collaboration with JBL and Toyota, cool speaker!

Doug did you notice how the fog lights are activated? Is there a separate switch for the fog lights?

Great video, i am really surprised by the contour of the top of the windshield. I instantly thought it looks like the 4th gen roundedness. I think with the 5th gen being more squared up looked better. Still a nice upgrade.

Damn youre quick doug

Doug the type of guy to fart in the toilet, close the lid, and flush

good looking suv toyota did a better job redesigning the interior of the 4-runner than the tundra. great review Doug!

I’ve been waiting for this moment 🎉

465 torque, engine by Yamaha, Asin transmission, made in Japan. SOLD!!! (And I own a 2018 TRD ORP that I love…)

Built in Japan is the best selling point. A little disappointed Toyota made the interior the exact same as the Tacoma. IMO there should be differences on the inside to differentiate between the two.

People seem to misunderstand, the 4 cylinder isn’t an issue, Toyota has put out bullet proof ones for years. The issue arises from the hybrid and turbo they tac on. The reliability of turbo hybrids is questionable which Toyota fans are scared about, myself included. But hey, if anyone will break the mold it’ll be toyo.

I’m gonna hang onto my 5th gen for now until I see one of these 200k miles reliably. 😎

Wow, looks modern, and old at the same time. They did a good job

I know some people don’t like it but I think it looks sick. I love 4Runners

I love that after all these years you still use your old range rover in your logo!

My father owns a 4th gen 4Runner SR5 limited and at 140k it’s great and took it off road and love it ! And love the hidden compartments on the truck too 4Runners have been around forever and it’s still hold the value just stay on top of the maintenance and care and can last you a lifetime thank you for sharing this video for those who are interested in the new 2025 4Runner

Currently have a 2017 TRD Pro in my family. Wasn’t crazy about the photos I first saw but this color changed my mind.

Doug, I think you and we all know these facts: Toyotas North American division loves selling restyled versions of global products because Americans like “extreme” and “fun” styling on their cars. The 4Runner, at least since the 2nd or 3rd generation, has always been a Tacoma/fun/americanized, slightly decongested version of the Land Cruiser Prado and that’s still what it is. The rest of the world doesn’t like camo seats and tough looking AC vent knobs, they just want a Toyota suv that is off road capable, because it’s a tool used for a purpose. We in the US like to dream we’re on a tough mission in Africa when we’re really just car camping after a shopping spree at Walmart. As in cases with many North American specific products, the 4Runner is a bit of a meme of itself. That being said, I love my 5th gen SR5, it’s similar to a Prado GX/TX without the BS. The Land Cruiser J250 (Prado) is for the enthusiasts who love global products and want a semi-lux off road SUV, and the Lexus is the full luxury version, as with the J300 and LX. The line up in my eyes is like this: 1. Hilux and Fortuner at the bottom. Cheap and utilitarian/meant for third world markets. 2. Tacoma - road focused light duty truck for NA market 3. 4Runner - a fun NA market family off road SUV 4. Land Cruiser (Prado) - global market sibling to 4Runner without the gimmicks. Popular in Eastern Europe, Africa, and Australia as a family off roader or as a fleet vehicle for organizations that need a basic off roader that is comfortable 5. Lexus GX - mid size off road luxury suv based on light duty Land Cruiser Prado 6. Land Cruiser - large off road 7/8 passenger SUV used for commercial applications and by Eastern European gangsters and Arabs who love to off road in the sand dunes 7. Lexus LX - the most expensive Lexus based on the full size Land Cruiser for wealthy suburban moms to commute to their boutiques. 8. Tundra and Sequoia- because Toyota wants to compete with the suburban and expedition An off-roader for everyone, it seems!

Looks amazing

Toyota is just out here killing it in looks and tech! 4Runner (HEV), Land Cruiser (HEV)/GX550 (HEV?), Sequoia (HEV), Tundra (HEV), Tacoma (HEV), GR 86, GR Corolla, GR Supra, RAV4 Prime (PHEV) , Prius Prime (PHEV). Scratches every itch I could think of except for a super car and I couldn't afford that anyway.

man i love toyota. just got a 2021 tacoma trd pro. gonna have to pick one of these up to add to my toyota collection. ive had a 2006 toyota 4runner since well 2006.

Nice video!

Which one is bigger new 2024 LC and new coming 2025 4Runner? I think the new GX 550 is a bit bigger it probably won’t fit in my garage for 2 cars. I’m considering all these 3 new models. They’re all good for certain reasons. Thanks for the video.

THE VIDEO IS OUTSIDE YESSS

Lol. I love how you editorialize the styling of the interior. The wording you used at 13:27 actually made me laugh out loud on the train

I like the giant Toyota wording on the dash and the pop out JBL speaker.

I've never been a fan of SUVs or trucks but damn does the new 4Runner look good. Toyota finally got their design team right--most of the new redesigns look great. Especially the Lexus GX

Doug. The type of reviewer that manufactures & dealers love because he never calls them out on their bs…such as $60k for a 4 cylinder auto that’s supposed to be an “off-road” beast.😒

Makes me want a 5th gen even more

This is my current dream vehicle. If I was looking to buy a new vehicle and mine was not already paid off and very reliable. I would be at a Toyota dealership test driving these things. It’s basically perfect. It can do everything you need. You can go to the grocery store and you can even escape a natural disaster and everything in between a vehicle that you can use for everything life throws at you. That’s the type of vehicle. I want if I’m gonna be spending a lot of money is something that will be good for anything I need damn near.

Consider this just watched the 4Runner and watched the Land Cruiser yesterday Here in Australia we have NO 4Runners so that might be a reason to keeping the LC and the new LC has a 7 seat option here in Australia might be the reason for the cup holders and usb ports

I dig the return to the rear windows. And who else loves BUTTONS AND KNOBS in the dash!?!? Thank god Toyota hasn’t changed that

Wish they offered the V6 TT from the Tundra

Great review. Thank you for putting it up. It looks nice and all. But it is more frosting than cake. I am going to stick with 5th gen.

They killed it. They don't understand their own fanbase and market. These will be scrapped or engine swapped before 100k miles if you tow with them. They only did this for emissions standards. We will not pay more for lesser products. The consumer is the one who pays the price in this situation.

HUGE fan of 4Runners here. Very excited about this new model!

Doug the type of guy to sell Toyota’s press 4Runner on Cars & Bids

Side profile slightly reminds me of the late 90s Durango. Also looks like it could be a Dodge product from the side as well. Looks good minus fender flares.

Looks like a 4th gen 4runner. And I'm loving it!
