I bought a 2021 Toyota 4Runner!

Yes, we bought a new vehicle for the show. In this video you'll get an introduction to why we picked this particular 2021 Toyota 4Runner and why we went for this versus the new Ford Bronco, a Jeep Rubicon or even a Subaru Outback. Plus, we show off a new test location and put the 4Runner through its paces.

We like the lever.... less to go wrong.

Trd off road is the sweet spot when it comes to purchasing a 4runner.

Thank you for actually enabling ATRAC ... many of these videos I watch, they encounter an obstacle and throw their hands up without enabling ATRAC.

Looking forward to your 20 year ownership review of this 4Runner in 2041!

[jimmacmurdo]

Excellent choice. One of the best true 4WD vehicles on the market in terms of durability and retained value.

[quaidmciver]

Congrats on the new 4Runner. I have a lot of respect for the 4Runner, solid off-roader with strong reliability track record.

Wow, I just discovered your channel a few months ago and ended up purchasing a ‘21 4Runner TRD off road premium a few weeks back. Love it so far. It just makes sense. Congrats

[CurtGodwin]

Your statement about it being old-school enough to be reliable but new enough to have things like Apple CarPlay is exactly why I bought a Subaru STi - nicely devoid of things I don't need, but has that old-school design that just makes it a joy to drive. I look forward to the content.

[supraphonic]

Not gonna lie, I've been watching your 4Runner videos and speccing out which one I'd get and... you just bought it! Looking forward to seeing more.

[axion]

Your reviews exhibit a much appreciated mix of candor, expertise, honesty and real-world perspective in contrast to some other "off-roadish" oriented presenters. Much appreciated.

[michaellloyd]

You made the right choice! I recently picked up a new 2020 4runner trd pro, And I love it!

[nathanstephens]

Great choice! I got a 2020 trd off road, love it! And it will run for 300k miles no problem with regular maintenance. Love the vids.

You will appreciate getting the sunroof when you get stuck offroading and your doors are blocked by trees, or deep water, or a cliff or something....it will be your escape hatch. Or to get a better view of obstacles ahead.

You have yourself a very very well built vehicle that won’t give you any issues for years and years. The LED lights were long overdue, my 2016’s headlights were dangerously dim!

[montyhaltiner]

I just bought a 2021 4Runner TRD, no extras, based off your reviews - and I'm very happy. I'm stoked you bought one and I get to learn all about it as you put it through its paces. Thanks for the informative channel, you are much appreciated.

You'll enjoy the sunroof in the summer. Open it up and crack open the window on the rear hatch and you get really nice airflow without the buffeting and traffic noise of opening door windows.

Congratulations, My Friend... Glad, after test driving all these years, and making videos on them, you decided to Purchase one.. And one which comes with TSS..

[SilverScarletSpider]

As a person that consistently makes standout reviews testing the AWD/4WD drivetrains and automatic transmission vs CVT systems; I think it speaks volumes that you chose this beautiful Toyota 4Runner with a 4WD automatic transmission.

My family really wanted to get a Toyota 4Runner too. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t in the cards, Grandpa and Grandma are getting older, gas mileage and third row seating comfort are king, AWD is only second. The 5 seat 4Runner’s front fascia looks cooler than the 7 seater’s front end personally. Jeep Wranglers and Toyota 4Runners are so fun, without a doubt. AWD Toyota Highlanders and Honda Pilots just fit the bill.

Thank you for sharing this video 👍

Im in my 3rd year with mine and still love it. Congrats.

I was raised to turn my head as well, but I love blind spot warning. I feels it helps remind you to always be aware of your surroundings.
