What ever happened to the V8 Toyota 4Runner? 

Running a 4th gen v8 and I will never get rid of it

I have a 2008 limited V8. The smoothness of the engine is nice and the full time 4WD here in Colorado is nice. Hoping it lasts a long time

So the V8 4runner is the Lexus GX. The V8 4R was based on the Landcruiser Prado, which lexus picked up as the GX470 and today it's the Lexus GX460. The V8 4runner was dropped because people didn't want to PAY for the extra cost. Lexus buyers were OK with paying the markup. Again the V8 4runner never went anywhere except over to Lexus and you can still pick up a 2023 Lexus GX460 with a V8 engine today...

V6 rav4, v8 4Runner. Those are gems

I have to disagree about the 2WD V8 being useless! Not only does it have the highest towing capacity, it also has a secret weapon known as AUTO LSD which is essentially 2WD A-TRAC. It works amazing and I've never needed 4WD even climbing ice or snow with decent all terrains

Have an '03 V8 AWD Limited and yes it's a mall-crawler! 149K miles, had some rust issues with frame that I continue to address but it never got totally out of control like the pictures you show. Has Bilstein 4600/FJ springs, SPC UCA, Super Pro poly bushes in LCA and also in all rear control arms, other than that mostly stock and Yes, I love it!

Hell yes! Love it man, thank you so much!

Excellent Video . Loved every second of it . The humor , the factual and the documentary style . -toyota Owner of an 03 4runner with just near 300K miles on 33’S and a 4” lift. Yeah the girl got a drinking problem.

Great video man glad to see it so soon 😊, could you do the diamond in the rough chevy cobalt next ?

2004 V8 limited 4x4 and shes a beauty. The ONLY worries I have are the timing belt and ABS pump going out.

Haha my 03 Seqouia has the 2UZ FE. Hate where the put the starter 💀

The one thing the video got wrong - GMC Envoys are body on frame too. They are heavy beasts with fully boxed frames, 4x4, solid rear axle and independent front suspension, and some of them came with the "LS" based aluminum 5.3 V8.

I would to love to listen to you talk about the Mitsubishi 3000GT! Keep up the good work!

The word is out on the Lexus GX470, they are on par with the 4Runners on the used market now

I finally got my hands on one of these with ehhh minimal rust. It is an absolute blast to drive! It annoying that they got rid of them. I think they would sell very well still. I would much rather have a v8 than a v6 regardless of mileage. Sadly, people can't do that anymore it seems or just dont want to. They'd rather charge their cars and have a nice quiet ride. Idk how people do it. I gotta be able to hear it a little and feel it rumble. Every time I see videos similar to these. I am reminded that I was born in such an annoying time that things are changing towards electric vehicles, and "fuel economy" is a problem. I just hope i am able to get enjoyment out of this vehicle and others like them before gas prices are just impossible to pay. Also nice video! I enjoyed hearing about the history of the 4th gens. I am still conviced that in 03 to 09 they hired a redneck and he conviced them to put a v8 in them lmao

Your lexus suv is our toyota land cruser with different headlights they come with a 3 liter turbo diesel

Body on frame doesnt handle as well as the highlander or trailblazer? How did you make such a great video and insert that nugget of trash info? No offense sick video man

0:47 looks a lot like mine but I've a lil b front bumper

Now theres a Lexus tax on the GX470 and LX470

There's one in my driveway

Selling my 06 V8 if anyone's interested lol
