5th gen 4Runner is a future classic. It'll be remembered as peak Toyota 4x4, I believe.

[GR]

Thank you for the updates! I love the fact that you not only kept this rig for 150k+ hard miles, but you did it without spending 10s of thousands on unnecessary instagram mods like bumpers, light bars, roof racks, etc!

5th gens are gonna appreciate in value when the higher tech 4Runners hit the market I think.

I’m on my third runner and it’s been all quality experience with no problems. Tank that looks like an suv

My 2014 just rolled 200, 000 on Oct 27. This beast is a SR5, MODS = King shocks and struts with 2" lift, Nitto 17" tires, undercarrage plate protection, rock rails, and underhood Dimaier compressor. I have always kept it in the garage when not on the road. Lots of trails, beaches, and great BLM jaunts. Looki g like the Tesla CT is coming online just in time.

Jim, you always offer a great experiences and perspectives for 4Runner owners. Your 4Runner is a testament to the quality of these trucks.

I had a 2017 and the left front needle bearing on the axel had to be replaced twice. Now I have a 2020 SR5. Love these trucks.

[Mjr]

Awesome truck. We have 2 of them. A 16 Trail Edition and a 23 off road premium. Love these trucks.
Great video.
Thank you.

[Craig-dqcu]

Thanks for the honest assessment of the vehicle . And letting us know all the time lines of everything that happened to the Truck.

Great channel. Kudos to Mrs. Rose for capturing the off-road footage. Makes the videos.

I recently hit 156k on my 2013. I honestly was never a Toyota fan, I really wanted a Wrangler but the 4Runner just checked all the boxes of what I actually needed in a vehicle, however, this thing has impressed me. The only actual repair I've done since I bought it 4 years ago with 80k was the AC was not blowing that cold, I had it recharged at 105k. Other than that it's been all regular maintenance. Zero issues with the main seal, however, I don't do a lot of off-roading and try to avoid mud when I do. I feel like I ruined my last two 4x4s by taking them in the mud too often.

I have a 2019 4Runner TRD Off Road, modified for long range overlanding/cross country trips, including long range tanks, and the Magnuson supercharger to make highway driving less tedious lol. I have driven it across Canada 4 times ( From Vancouver to Halifax and back, twice), across western and mid-west USA and as far south as Baja Mexico. I'll never sell it!

I have been subbed for about 4 years (since I think your first videos) and love seeing people actually using the 4Runner off road! I always like your videos!

Love Toyota’s. I had a 2018 Cement TRD Sport Tacoma with the 6-speed manual transmission that I absolutely loved, put 70, 000 miles on which is nothing, but wanted a 4Runner so I jumped the gun when dealerships were offering high prices on trade in with low interest rates still. I bought my 2022 SR5 in Magnetic Gray Metallic and love it. I really wanted a silver 4Runner but for some reason allocations for one were hard at that time. My 4Runner isn’t even a year and a half years old yet and I have 30, 000 miles on it already. Ordered myself a low profile bumper on it which I can’t wait to put on! I’ll drive this thing till it falls apart, which I don’t think will ever happen LOL. Love the ride and your 150, 000 mile review!

[blackcuda]

I have a brand new 2023 TRD-ORP and a '71 'cuda, so it was nice to see the picture of you towing a 'cuda behind your 4Runner... Also, thank you for the use report of your 4Runner, it's very informative.

[leardi]

Sorry to hear your having problems with the rear main good to see you putting it to use best of luck with it. I have a 23 ORP TRD love it so far

[tpp]

You really took this truck off road and really beat the shit out of it. Damn, can’t say a lot of trucks will take that kinda of abuse and still going strong

[pall]

Jim thanks for another great video and update. I have a 2022 TRD OR with 9k all on the road but looking to do some amateur off-roading. Your videos are over-the-top inspiring keep them up.

[NaijaBoiTellEm]

I have almost 173K miles on 2016 Trail Edition. I've only taken it off-road once but it's treated me well.

[martinbelisle]

One thing I neglected on my 2011 that I regret is cleaning the inside of the tailgate. If you drive on dirt roads a lot dirt will get in there and will clog the little drain holes. My rear window mechanism broke and when I finally looked in there it was a rusty mess.

I have a 2015 LTD bought new with currently 155k miles. Obviously very limited offroad use. I've had to change out the A/C blower (luckily easy DIY). One annoyance has been the front doorlock actuators. On my 3rd passenger side and 2nd driver side, and neither currently work. Truck pretty much drives exactly as it did from the showroom floor. Not a squeak to be heard. I have the leather seats, and they are in fantastic shape. The steering wheel could use some black shoe dye. Still planning on getting it to 300k miles.
