Get one while you can! Last of the naturally aspirated Toyotas.  

Yep! Boring 300,000 plus reliability! 😉

Barcelona Red is still my favorite color. Voodoo blue is a close second. Congratulations!

Thank you for the kind words and watching my videos! My old SR-5 will be making an appearance soon on the channel with its new pilot. Stay tuned!

It’s really a great thing about a lot of Toyota colors!

Thank you for watching! I haven’t had any issues on this or the 21 I recently sold. I’m a big fan of the camera but you do need their app. It’s a micro SD with an adaptor. There is a wifi connection from it to the app which you need to set up and make sure it’s on before downloading, but I don’t really download video much.

Thank you so much! They are fun to make!!!

Congratulations!

Love reading stuff like this ❤️ my 7 year old is absolutely patiently awaiting my 2018 TRD OR which currently has 105,000 miles… XPEL full front end PPF, Bilstein 5100 @ 0.85, BFG KO2, and Baja Designs amber fog lights…. This has been the most trouble free and capable rig I’ve ever owned and she’s paid off…. At 42 years old, this is the only vehicle I’ve ever owned that I could call an “investment”. Happy Father’s Day to everyone out there saving their Yotas for their little ones!!!!

Lucky boy to get a 4Runner

@@billseiler4952 he loves it which makes me love it even more ❤️

Those new wheels are nice but I was actually happy when mine came with the original TRDs TBH. My son is the same age, I think he’s going to drive one my Celicas in the good weather. 😉 He loves the 5speeds.

@@Glasscitycarnerd man those Celicas are like Terminators!!!!!!! ❤️

Thank you!!!

It’s got 10 mil XPel Ppf on the entire vehicle. I had a protective film put on the windshield too. They trailed it from the dealer to the shop back in February.

Around Pittsburgh it was about $300 for the undercarriage/frame to be done. More if you wanted them to remove door panels to get in there. It’s 100 to have a refresher coat put on each fall. My 21 went through 3 winters and looked brand new underneath. So worth it!

I think it’s in the description. It’s from Etsy.com the shop is listed. They have some nice stuff!

Thanks. I looked into that, but I like the thinner nature and I reapply the Fluid Film each fall and my 21 looks brand new. The tech at the dealership complimented it and said, “Whatever you are doing to treat the underside, it WORKS, keep doing it!” They are both good, and both do amazing at preventing corrosion.

I had mine trailed to the shop in an enclosed trailer straight from the dealer. I never drove mine for the first two weeks I owned it! 😂. The bars are sliders. No step.

@@Glasscitycarnerd You mentioned it in the video. My bad.

Sadly I agree. I used to just take for granted that each new Toyota would improve on the previous. Now, for the short term hopefully, I don’t see the engine being better.

I highly recommend them! My 21 that I just sold looks absolutely new underneath! Nice folks to deal with!

They are a Toyota part. They are on the Monroney (sticker). They may be a US only part as the dealerships in the US are split into different regional distribution companies and Toyotas have slight option/price differences depending on the region you buy in. I’m in the Central Atlantic region, so a dealership there may be able to get you the part number if not available in Canada.

Thank you!

Congratulations! I love these!

Congratulations! I agree about Terra, especially coming from Barcelona Red. I was thinking Black, bit this Underground was the perfect spec for me! Stay tuned, my old red one will be appearing this weekend on the channel…..

I was going to do this with this one and keep the 21. But I’m building a big garage and have a bunch of other distractions so I decided to drive this. They are going to be coveted for sure!!

That’s why I had it PPFd immediately. The paint quality is a bit fragile these days.

You’ve never driven with me. 😉 Triple digits is quite realistic with these.

I have to agree. though the reputation for reliability is known, in 2024 a thirsty yet very underpowered drivetrain seems so backwards. I can deal with the sluggishness, but not at 15-16MPG. will probably sell mine and when the new 4runner is available

And when you say 2024, think 2010 with a 2014 face lift. Mechanically identical.

@@MaximumDIYGarage Mechanical yes. The modern features of Apple Car play, rear obstruction warnings, front camera/trail camera make the later ones just a bit less anachronistic. 😉 Love them all!

I was all in on the 2025 redesign until I started scrutinizing the differences. -Complex turbo 4 cylinder -Objectively less cargo space due to seat folding changes and hybrid battery storage. -Smaller backseat ( despite an increase in length of the vehicle ) -Less ergonomic controls. More functions buried deeper into the laggy touch screen system. - guaranteed dealer mark ups for the first year or so. Expect higher msrp too. - little to no after market support due to being a ground up redesign. I put a $1000 deposit on a 2024 model expected to arrive next month. It's not that I think the redesign will fail. It's just new and unproven. Too many design decisions are based on overly burdensome government regulations rather than customer satisfaction. The only aspect of the new one that seems outright better rather than just different would be MPG, but it remains to be seen if that's a big difference. The new Tacoma is getting only a couple mpg more than the previous gen.

Cochran in Irwin PA. They sell at MSRP on pros, but I bought it on December 26 and was persistent. Waited two months for it to arrive.

@@Glasscitycarnerd Thanks for your reply !

That will save me thousands if I’m ever in a “your word against mine” scenario. It’s integrated into the system and not tacked on. So yep, happily paid only $500 for this. 😉 A lady pulled into the path of my wife and daughter once, and thankfully there was a witness who proved the lady was lying to the cops. So, yep.

For me, cars yes, trucks no. If the rumor of a new 4cyl Celica is true (4 cyl turbo 400 hp) I would get it. So I’m not anti turbo, just not in trucks.

It’s updated in the tech, and old in the mechanical. The perfect new old truck.

@@Glasscitycarnerd what tech is updated my brother? I have worked at Toyota for 5 years now 😅😂

@@aeirsone9045 maybe you didn’t notice the infotainment update in 20, the option of front cameras in 22, blind spot rear cross traffic alert in 23 heated steering wheel (awesome) in 23 and a few more things. I won’t tell your employer….😂😂😂

@@Glasscitycarnerd certainly you are aware all of those were standard on the Lexus gx460 in 2014, nothing is “new tech” there buddy. But if you feel better about paying $55k for a 2009 Toyota with some parts bin tech tossed in, that’s good for me 😅🥹

@@aeirsone9045 You asked the improvements since 2014, I answered. I’m not a Lexus SUV fan. I’m immensely happy for you.

I try to not drive boring. 😉
