I had a dream i sold my 4Runner. Woke up in a panic and went straight to my garage and made sure it was still there. My 4Runner is my 4Ever truck

[StubProductions]

I like the 4Runner. Bombproof, ultra reliable and simple. 500K mile vehicle with proper maintenance. No turbo and no massive hybrid battery to replace in 10 years.

[rugged]

4R has legendary longevity. Can’t say the same about these new Toyota turbo charged vehicles. Only time will tell

[HONORYOUROATH]

Once you get up to the $77 thousand plus range I think I would just go with the Lexus GX 550 Over Trail.

[davidwethington]

I asked my wife if she wanted to get rid of her 4Runner and get a GX or Land cruiser. "Absolutely not" was her reply.

[purpskurp]

Well duh you bought a land cruiser you’re a youtube channel. 4runner still the better choice unless you need views on videos.

[marcusvasquez]

the craziest thing, the 4R still looks good!

[theUltimateLord]

I'll keep my 1st gen sequoia. Bulletproof V8!

[Offshore]

I don’t like that the LandCruiser requires premium fuel.

[overtoncincy]

I chose 2024 trd pro 4R.... so simple, so good.

[owenperry]

Just bought a 2013 GX... I originally had the Land Cruiser on order, but interest rates and overall lack of desire for a car payment led me to a cash car. The Land Cruiser is sick though. I will own one in the future most likely.

[joemamamia]

The First Edition is so sick!!! Happy for your, Ryan!! So rad!

[CACressida]

I just love the sound of that old 1GR. Makes me want to jump in my FJ and go flat out everywhere while going faster than the speed of smell.

[calvinkang]

Smart choice for the channel, but if for 100% personal I know you would pick 4Runner

[DorDeKrey]

I would still pick the 4Runner...although I love the new LC. I just think in 10 years, everyone will look back at the 5th Gen as the epitome of Toyota engineering & reliability. No complicated electronic systems, just buttons where buttons should be with an engine & transmission, simple, straightforward & reliable at a reasonable value. (though I'd be coming from my FJC, so the 5th Gen IS a relative luxury upgrade for me) Having said all of that...the new LC is sweet.

Love those headlights on the landcruiser

[socialperson]

$60K for cloth seats, and $80K for some buttons, under armor, and changing lights. What upside world are we living in that a Toyota costs that much!?

[christianmercado]

got the chance to buy my dream truck almost 2 years ago, a TRD OFF ROAD 4Runner. I found your videos while researching it and thanks to you it made me want it even way more! Seeing one in the channel always makes my heart warm lol. havent stopped watching since. in future videos would like to see how the sway bar disconnect behaves in already stressful situations.

[channelnamehere]

congrats on the new buy. hopefully we see more of it so we can make informed choices. give us bad and good

[REIQ]

Perfect Choice I got my LC FE 3 months ago! Thanks for the tips!
