Most don’t understand that an SR5 in 4 low, will still crawl. You control it with the sequential shifter - select 1st for crawling steep down hill, 2nd, 3rd etc…your SR5 has crawl control. You’re just not relying on a computer to do it for you.

I went from owning three previous Jeeps to a 2018 4Runner, absolutely love it!

[HaileyBouffiou]

This is my vehicle! Super cool seeing it used for this event. Glad it treated you well!

Thanks for the validation. I was forced to retire after an injury, and I immediately bought a new 2016 Trail, (now called the TRD OFF ROAD). I lived in snow country then, so I immediately put on BGF KO2 All terrains, and never shoveled an ounce of snow. She's probably my last car and I feel so great every time i drive her. She only has 11, 500 miles, so it's wild that she is worth almost what I paid new.

Toyota is crazy. I would never stop manufacturing the six cylinder engine that’s in this four runner. It’s bullet proof. And so is the transmission.

I purchased my 5th Generation 4Runner last week Monday! Brand new!

long live the best 4runner ever to live
also the limited is very capable and easy to live with

Awesome video, Tommy ! This summer I bought a used 2018 4runner limited in white with 66, 000 miles and I'm just in love. I live in Connecticut, so I'm waiting for winter to arrive to see how well it rides in the snow.

I did Imogene Pass in my stock SR5 with Michelin LTX/MS tires. That car was a beast.

Great video, Tommy! Thanks for taking the rain and showing off the new KO3s. I love my 2022 TRD Off-Road Prem. Got it for doing overlanding throughout the US, cna plan to take it all over as soon as retirement will allow me. That being said, it's a great daily driver. I got KO2s on it now, and plan to replace them with KO3s in the future. Good to know Goodrich is continuing the KO line. They are a really good tire for on-road and off-road.

The fact that an off-road rental company uses these vehicles speaks a lot. You are going to get some not-my-car neophytes in the mix of renters.

Great video! We still love our 2014 Trail (TRD Offroad). Factory rear locker, crawl control and very capable stock. It has 163K miles and like many has a 3" OME lift, 33" Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T tires, skid plates, rock sliders, dual batteries, lights, coms, 12 volt fridge, awning and a winch. Being the first year of the current front end style it looks virtually the same as the 2024. We bought it used and almost stock. Our mods have about 50, 000 miles on them but are holding up. Now pull a 4000 pound trailer and yes it is slow uphill, but totally reliable for 5500 miles. We are waiting to get a 2026 Trailhunter 4Runner, but look forward to more power, fuel economy and modern tech. We will leave it mostly stock as it will have essentially what our current 4Runner has except the winch and upgraded tires.

Inflation made these things so expensive, maybe once they’re well used I could finally afford one.

Only thing I would add is to inspect the frame including crossmembers and control arms for rust…especially if your getting one from snow country..

I just want to note that the 2010 to 2013 Trail Editions (precursor to the TRD Off-road) commonly referred to as the "OG Trails" are actually quite desirable and sought after. The other pre-facelift models, not so much, though their owners love them.

Picked up a new SR5P back in 2021. At the time I would have liked a TRD Off Road, but it was hard enough to find the SR5…my local dealer had one single SR5 Premium at MSRP, so I went for it. The premium was more important than the TRD for me, as I couldn’t imagine paying $40k+ for a vehicle without heated seats LOL It’s been awesome and tackled a little bit of off-roading over the years on stock tires. At 50k now and it will be getting a set of wheels and Falken Wildpeaks. Excited to see what a nice set of rubber will do for it. The KO3 looks amazing, but they didn’t make a load range C in a 275/70r17 and it didn’t seem that they focused on improving the rain/snow performance which the KO2 lacked in. Either way, the SR5 is fantastic and in my personal opinion offers 90-95% off what a TRD is for less money. Sure the resale isn’t as great, but I don’t plan on selling mine…

I wasn't afraid or worried about getting a sr5 at all. In fact i was hoping I'd save some money but that's not the case, so i got a trail edition and then i found a gem trd off road. Needless to say, we are grateful.

[OffshoreBluewater]

I had a 1.5” front and 1” rear cornspacer spacers installed when quite new and it rides and has ridden like stock since. Super happy with the look and increased stance. Also to note I have KDSS and absolutely no issues or lean.

Nice job with the general overview of the Gen 5 4Runner.

[ventures]

You will see these on the road for the next 100+ years!!!
