The 6th gen 4Runner is still MADE IN JAPAN and that’s the reason I LOVE the 4Runner!

As much as I love Straight Pipes and Savage Geese, I get most excited for your review. Something about the POV and the periods of silence just taking in the experience... As a viewer it is so relaxing.

My dad had a 2016 4Runner and had an accident this week. The two vehicles were totalled, and the 4Runner saved his life! He’s planning to buy a 4Runner again 😮

Toyota is really going the right direction, who gonna say modern Toyotas are boring? Literally a dream to own

[ZeyadAlmat]

I absolutely love that the drivetrains for most of the new Toyota vehicles are the same. It might seem like a “parts-bin” approach to design but it’s what makes Toyota vehicles so reliable; Jidoka is an excellent manufacturing mentality, especially when the parts across the lineup are similar if not the same, one fixed fault will improve the entire lineup.

Looking forward to seeing the base SR5 2025 4Runner🎉

[GT-RTData]

The perfect urban assault vehicle. Those potholes and curbs ain’t gon be shit after this.

[lazerbay]

That engine bay looks like really expensive spaghetti to work on

[archstanton]

One of the reasons I loved my 4Runner was that it didn't have too many technical gadgets. I like the simplicity of having a car that let's me drive. The technology is inevitable but I still wouldn't trade my 5th gen. Just gonna have to have both in the driveway.

Looking forward to you hooning this thing at Silver Lake. Also excited to see how that bluish green color on the Trailhunter looks outside of publicity photos!

As a Camry and RC350 owner, I love my Toyotas (and Lexus. Lexi?). I’ll never own another brand. They’re functional. They’re beautiful. They’re built well. AND THEY LAST! The RC is super fun. I’m glad to see Toyota refreshing their vehicles in ways that aren’t dramatically technological. Technology is great… But I personally want physical buttons. I don’t want to go into a separate climate menu to blast my a/c, etc. Just damn good vehicles all around.

Suggested my wife get a 2023 before the new one arrived. Glad I did. Don’t like the look of this one vs hers. The hybrid & turbo 4 is probably quick but give me the longevity of the 4.0 6cyl

TOPHER!!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU SIR!!! How dare you make us wait!! And suffer thru erybody else reviews!! Jkjk I love erybody reviews but yours are my fave and TOP TIER!! I couldn’t wait to hear your thoughts on this!!! Much love from DC! Keep up the great work!

[ay]

The markups on this are going to be crazy

[blu_is]

God I love this truck! If I was ever in the market for a SUV though, the GX would be the business. Can't wait to see your review back on the home turf, thanks for posting!

[fernandomontano-sgkq]

We don’t need to know pricing, we know it’s going to be around $70 with dealer markups!!

[LiLizzy]

It's so weird not to hear that whooshing gush of air upon the engine startup, which is one of my favorite things. Definitely going to take some getting-used to.

[Veyronp]

i cant wait for the Land Cruiser vs 4runner comparison. i think a lot of people are gonna have this dilemma.

[marksullivan]

I think they nailed it personally. They look great

[connorpoultney]

Have always wanted a 4 runner and especially want one now
