Got a 2018 Limited for my wife who absolutely loves it! She'll drive that thing until you can't find parts anymore! It's definitely a keeper!

A solid V6 in a vehicle you can't go wrong with.

Toyota should’ve kept cranking these amazing machines out for another 5-6 years. Just an interior update would’ve been marvelous. This generation of 4Runner is such a badass suv

[grishman]

Can’t go wrong with this generation 4Runner. Solidly-built and will last forever. If you want on-road performance you’ll need to look elsewhere. For leisurely driving, they do fine.

This vehicle will survive the apocalypse.

The best SUV on the market. No fake engine noise, no carbon build up, no plastic valve covers, no direct injections, no turbo, no overcomplicated engine mess, phenomenal looks, rides like a tank feels like a tank, hydraulic steering, solid plastic parts in the cabin. 500K-1M capable engine and bulletproof transmission. Real 4X4 SUV. Only issues I can think of this is lack of proper luxury for money vs Mazda, Honda, Kia and Frame rust if you live in Northeastern part of North America. Toyota's legacy, the last of it's kind. Toyota's one of the most legendary engines 1GR-FE, 2GR-FKS lives in ES and IS of Lexus only now Camry died. Get it while you can they are still there, SR5 Premium or TRD Off Road Premium are best trims. Limited is not good on front looks, inside is good but that X-REAS is not great vs Nothing (SR5 P) or KDSS (ORP). As always great review !!

Personally, I’ll stick with this gen instead of the new gen 4Runner. NA 6cyl > Turbo 4cyl

[StripedTurkey]

With all that’s happened with the new gen Tundras and Tacomas I put my chips down on a new 2024 4Runner and couldn’t feel better. I know this platform can be a slug but I also know it will always get me there and back for many, many miles! 😉

Joe! Tell me that Nissan doesn't have a golden opportunity here? We know the Frontier is doing well and beats the Tacoma in price and value. Thankfully they updated the tech for 2025. But if they bring back the Xterra, drop a nice V6, I think it can take the fight to the 2025 turbo hybrids 4 cyl 4Runner and take the throne!

Gotta love the old school digital Definitely a thing of the past, love this vehicle!!

[HashishHarry]

Man oh man, nothing beats a 4Runner when it comes to SUV’S!! My momdukes had a 2000 limited in this exact color. Man talk about a dope ass ride, not to mention how clutch it was to have the option to lay down the backseats and throw a sleeping bag down….then it morphed to the shagging wagon!! lol

[rickjames]

Rugged yet stylish. Good for the off-road trail and for nights out with the wife. Versatile rig made by a trusted brand. What's not to like about these? Great review Joe and Steven.

[bobbykhan]

didn’t know that this came with Costco size mozzarella cheese bag

[mattmekhaeil]

Timeless design I’ll miss this generation after this year. Bulletproof suv just not ready to downsize engines for next generation

[bryandelcamp]

Joe you’re an inspiration brotha! God bless

[toyotaofclermont]

The classic 4Runner is such a beast! We love this car!

[SME]

I’d get this one and any other 4Runner gen over the 2025

[waynewallace]

With an aftermarket supercharger, the perfect suv.

[dmvxkuv]

Lovely truck. Thank you Joe and your crew for this.

Much love guys

[kathleenbz]

Thanks Steven flood for the videography! Joe, I chuckled at the thought of this 4Runner’s previous owner trading it in for a jaguar. 😅 thanks for the great content and enthusiasm.
