How can a clock be outdated? Just because someone made a clock that works differently and is usually more complicated doesn't make it better. The simplicity of being able to push one button for the hour and one for the minute is the pinnacle of perfection for setting a clock.
Nice review. It appeals to us because of a single entry feature, the floor is the same height as the threshold. Most people never notice, but if you have always driven pick up trucks, you do notice. Also for someone with mobility issues, being able to just spin in the seat and step out without having to raise your feet out of the well really helps. Due to a shorter garage door, we needed an SUV at 72” or lower, that would fit “full grown” adults.
Really want this but the dealer is tacking on add ons and inflating the price. I’m going to sit out and buy it used in 2 years. Hopefully less than 25k miles.
Shop around....I live in Wa state.......a few dealers around here has no markups.......check-out .... Puyallup Toyota or Olympia Toyota....as long as you don't go for the limited edition ones.
Good review indeed. I recently took a neighbor's 2022 4Runner for a rather short drive. This was a Limited model. But should I get one, and I've always wanted one, I might just fgor for the SR5 as it apperas tp have everything I need. To me it drove like a car, and my fear that I couldn't see over the hood was assuaged after I lifted the driver seat which allowed me to see the end of the hood with ease. I'm far from 6' 5". Thank you for your reviews and please keep them coming. The issue is the dismal fuel economy but in such a heavy and capable truck that is not a big deal.
Thank you for the video. Very helpful. How far forward are the middle row seats when you fold the third row down? I want to keep them down until I need them but do not want to be too cramped in the middle. Thanks again!!
You may see some benefits from them, but be careful because it could void any existing warranties on the engine, and in California at least it may cause the vehicle to fail smog check
Panosonic used to be the OEM supplier of batteries for Subaru, but they were Subaru branded. Those batteries were garbage lol. I hope this one in this 4Runner is better.
The Panasonic batteries are really good. I got 6 years out of my battery on my Mazda before it needed replacing. The Mazda branded battery only lasted 3 years.
Hi there! I am MOON from FREESOO, a brand specializing in USA in premium car seat covers. I am looking for someone who owns Toyota 4Runner 2011-2024 3-Row 7 Seats models to test our seat covers and make videos for me. Would you like to try our seat covers?
I want to like these 4Runners, but there is no excuse for a 1990's interior design in 2023. Especially not for the price they are going for. Every competing vehicle in this category/price range is leaps and bounds more advanced. It's great that they have a reputation for having a reliable engine and transmission. However, most modern vehicles in this price range are reliable, if they are well maintained. If they want to continue to use the same design they researched and developed 15 years ago, they aught to pass some of that savings on to the customers who are compromising with the extreme lack of features.
Right on. The dealerships aren't budging with any kind of incentive with these these because they fly off the shelf without them. I can't justify these things for the cost. There are better alternatives. Maybe the honda passport? Tons of cargo space. AWD. Not the rick crawling capabilities but I'm not doing that ever anyway.
I really want to love these vehicles because I do want one, but that front end is too much for me. If they could just remove that unattractive chunky design and simplify the front end I think it will look great and then I will love it. I’ve looked back at the changes through the years and I think 2009 is the last year the front ends looked good to me.
Got my Barcelona Red 2015 SR5 last year as a college graduation gift and I cherish it 😢

You’re right. As a matter of fact, Toyota should have just stuck with a sundial!
Time is outdated

excellent review , i wish people do reviews of cars like you do , appreciate your work very much
Thank you Joby! I appreciate that :)

Check out The Homework Guy, he has great advice for working with dealers and their obscene and unnecessary fees.

Same here, no patience for the add of all these junky add-ons, I'll buy when that stops.
It’s the best of the best Period 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm looking to buy the 4 Runner. Though about the Rav4 but I like the old fashioned SUV look.
Me too
Great review/commentary. More humor, please. You are close to having a full stand up routine. You would be great.
Good review; I like the injection of humor.
Much appreciated!
I have the same clock on my 3rd gen 2002 SR5 4Runner!
I love the clock and it's placement/design!
I had one didn’t like it sold and bought 2007 V8 Limited in perfect condition
Beautiful
YF-23 the black widow beautiful jet
I like the filming locations.
The jet fighters are right near my new job
Good review
Thank you!

Thank you for watching Daniel!

Unfortunately I don’t recall, I only had this car for about four days to review it
Take advantage of the aftermarket accessories this bad boy has. Especially the molle panels for extra gear storage😎
Thanks 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
I learned how to drive on that parking lot 😂 Mall of orange 🍊
Correct! The mall part actually shuts down completely tomorrow, 1/31/24. Sad day but it was already half empty in there.
Pretty sure that’s the same clock the 4runner my parents bought in 1988 had.
If it ain't broke don't fix it
Totally agree
How is the acceleration power when a light turns green? Sluggish or good get up and go?
Good acceleration, not sluggish. I did make a test drive video on this car:

@@CarDietrich I’ll check it out, thanks!
Does the base model have standard remote start key fob or you got to pay extra for that ?
Extra for that
It may be outdated Toyota prolly thinks if it’s been working why change it
Lol a contraband compartment..
Those the trd 2023 4 runner come with a 8 seater?
Not an option on TRD
I have a 2021 2WD SR5.
Anyone in here know how capable my car is in the mountains? I'm the second owner so I'm not too sure what was added beforehand.
When you say “in the mountains” are you talking about taking it off road or driving in snow?
How do you find the brakes feel?
Solid brakes, felt good the me
It's a TRUCK!
Is pedal commanders good for 4 Runners?
You may see some benefits from them, but be careful because it could void any existing warranties on the engine, and in California at least it may cause the vehicle to fail smog check
@@CarDietrichCommiefornia
wow I didn't know Panasonic made lead acid starting batteries.
Panosonic used to be the OEM supplier of batteries for Subaru, but they were Subaru branded. Those batteries were garbage lol. I hope this one in this 4Runner is better.
They have for years
The Panasonic batteries are really good. I got 6 years out of my battery on my Mazda before it needed replacing. The Mazda branded battery only lasted 3 years.

No it does not
@@CarDietrich awesome

Hi MOON. I appreciate your message, unfortunately this 4Runner does not belong to me. I just had it for a few days to review it.
@@CarDietrich Okay, never mind. Thank you for your reply. Have a nice day.
@@freesoo-media You too, best of luck with your products!
@@CarDietrich Thank you so much
for contraband or other drugs lol!

"2.7 is terrible" just proved you have no clue what youre talking about.
It is on a 4Runner. It’s too heavy
“This” intro is a copy of Doug Demuro.
Guilty as charged!

Same. I'm trying to like them and they do catch my eye from the side view but from the front? Yuk.
Easy way for me to fix it was a bull bar up front. Looks better with it😎
Holy shit is that a real yf23? Weren’t there only like 2 of those?
Honestly I don’t know, it was just on display there
