Because of all the changes to the new 25 4Runner, I just went out and bought a new 24 4Runner, TRD OFF Road. I suggest to anyone who loves 4Runners, better go buy a 24 before they are all gone. Reliable, and you cannot found a better vehicle that will go the distance. Only time will tell about the dependability on the 25 model. Thanks for the update on the new 4Runner.
🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I just bought a new '24 4runner trd orp in underground. Love it, love it, love it. Not interested in electronic nannies or big screen tv. Simple, reliable, and fun. By the way, I am getting 21+ mpg all around @ 2800 miles on it.
I believe it, I sometimes see 21 mpg
Yup, just bought a 2024 for $4000 under MSRP last month
One of the most important features in my 5th gen is the fact that I can sleep in the back, and with company. If the 6th gen can't do the same thing, that's a deal-breaker by itself, let alone the outrageous new price. Oh, and let's not forget that those gas mileage figures are pretty disappointing too. I'm sticking with the tried and true 5th gen.
Absolutely my friend!! 💯
I just bought my first 5gen 4Runner after owning two Tacoma’s and brother there’s no way I’m giving up this truck! The fifth generation is a tank hands down and with 14 years of production on this particular generation Toyota has certainly ironed out all its issues with the car. Now they want to completely overhaul the vehicle,, from body design to a completely new engine and for more $$?? NOPE,, I love my 2024 and will own it forever 😉😎🤘
Same here 💯
We love our 5th Gen way too much, to make a switch.
Besides who needs a car payment when you got one of the best vehicles ever made 😎
🤘🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Well.well it is unfortunate that we live in a build it they will buy it society. Consumer voices have been muted by the government and the auto industry as they decide what we want. This new engine is definitely an engine I would not want. 4cyl and trucks have a long history and none of it is good. I’m glad I brought 4Runner in 2023 because I new change was coming and not for the better. Though visually the new 4Runner looks a little better overall I think it would become a 4Bummer. After the warranty expires and people see they have no power and how expensive turbo chargers are they’ll say “what a bummer”.
This is very true, they are controlling us to the point that Americas so loved and know V8, will be no more.
It’s a shame!!
I believe Toyota 4Runner sales will tank.
Very honest and factual assessment of the vehicle, thank you!
🙏🏻
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 and great show ! I bought the 5th generation 4Runner last year and so far so good , I am not too crazy about turbocharged engines and if I decide to get the 6th generation 4Runner I would probably lease it .
Greetings!! I’m right there with you, I’ll probably buy another 5th Gen before I buy a 6th Gen.
What keeps me from upgrading from 5th Gen are 1. Double Hulk Hogan mustache grill 2. Interior is exact copy of Tacoma 3. Small roundish tail lights 4. Back end looks too much like 5th Gen. 5. plasticky looking interior 6. Large hump when back seats are folded 7. Price
I’m right there with you… the price is definitely the icing on the cake.
I think Toyota sales on the 4Runner will translate our displeasure.
Don’t forget its 4banger turbo that needs frequent maintenance especially engine oil
Oh I know believe me. I’ve been changing some of the oil on the highlanders with the same engine…. And at 5k that oil is some of the darkest and burnt smelling I’ve seen.
Toyota should have invited you to the 4Runner reveal. Would be nice to get a technician point of view on the it. As a technician I also look at what is easier or harder to replace/install on vehicles and not just specs and new gadgets.
I’m right there with you Sir, we care about aspects that are real life important.
Who knows maybe we will be invited one day.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch!!
@@VikingsGarage yup exactly. Hopefully they invite sooner than later. I’m not a Toyota tech(Honda tech) but got a 4Runner last year and that’s what brought me to your channel. I was surprised how easier the suspension is to do on these 4Runners compared to the newer hondas.
Unfortunately Toyota invites only those You tubers that promote Toyota’s and speak positively. If something is questionable they pretend there is no problem or they say that only time will tell…
That is new type of sell strategy
This is our sad reality, lots of misinformation. I appreciate you!!
Excelent as usual..
Just wondering on the water pump, Is it inside the engine or external and or possibly Electric??
Thats a big issue with me..
As usual great Info👍
Much appreciated 🙏🏻
So it’s an external water pump, traditional.
As in belt driven. They left that alone 😅😉
Thank you for doing this. You said the same as I've been hearing from others. 5th gen the best. Where did you get that rack and ladder you your green truck? About what was the cost? I've been looking for a good roof rack!
You’re very welcome!!
So the roof rack is the Toyota TRD pro OEM, the ladder is by a company called “Baja Rack” both must haves. 🤙🏻
Sure it’s nice and shiny new. But I love my 5th Gen. it’s modded just how I like it so I hope to keep it a very long time.
Same here.
Wish I had of kept my 91 4Runner I bought new as a young Toyota mechanic. Still have my 86 pickup I bought in 87, my 03 Tacoma 4x4 and my 19 ORP 4Runner, which I will be keeping. Not into these new 4cyl with turbos.
For those interested, my brake controller is hidden under dash and the controller inn a dial/ button combo that installs in a factory switch blank of your choice on dash, it’s a RedArc Pro, works great…
Please reach out to me on instagram. Let’s share that brake controller deal with the community. Cheers!! 🤙🏻
I haven't seen a video on the differentials and transfer case that explains the fluids. Most say you can use synthetic 75w85 in all 3 both differentials and transfer case. the main part of the question is when it say with friction modifiers or for lsd. Are they ok to use even though they say that? I have a 2021 toyota 4runner sr5.
I’m gonna stick with my 5th gen. I had a STi for 12 years and replaced the turbo at 75k. I prefer simple things. Less to go wrong.
And yeah sleeping in the back is a big thing for many. I met another 4Runner owner while fishing at Montauk and he removes the bottom back seat for more headroom.
Also I don’t see much space under the hood for an air compressor or extra battery.
I don’t know about an extra battery but they will offer an it compressor you can mount in the trunk. There’s absolutely no room for an extra battery, that engine bay looks very crowded. 🤷🏼♂️
@@VikingsGarage yeah the Trailhunter edition includes the onboard air with psi preset which can air down to a specified psi which is cool.
That’s the model I would get out of all the trim levels.
Same here.
Montauk is the proving ground for vehicles and equipment, especially on the surf. Glad to see your comments.
Note, the 4Runner has good rust protection, I undercoated mine (2012 Gen 5 Trail) after it was 4 years old figuring that might be a good thing to do and what was interesting was there was not much rust to remove and no rust on the floorboards. I still undercoated it all.
Always smart to undercoat it regardless
I have a 22 trail and have gotten as high as 14 to 26 mpg doing 60 mph on a flat highway
26mpg 😱👏🏻
I’m 6’3” with tall torso. The current 5th gen with sunroof is a no go for me unless seat is down far. I prefer all vehicles without. Also, love and had a 5th gen. Sold it at peak. Thinking of another or possibly waiting a few years into model run. I will say after driving the new Tacoma, the drivability of the new motor is much better at my altitude. I’m at 7k. The 5th gen was a dog and hunted gears quite a bit where I live and up in the mountains. There are pros and cons to both. 5th gen will definitely be more reliable. But, I had a lot of spirited fun driving the Tacoma OR. Price of TRDOR will be high. But, they are already discounting Tacomas so who knows.
👍🏻
Thanks Viking for your report. The 60 Thousand price, is that for the Hybird models? If so, do you know what the pricing will be for the TRD models? Thanks
All of the pricing is in comparison to the announced Tacoma prices.
@@VikingsGarage Wow!
They look cool man but the price seems like they're not looking out for the average guy. The dealership markups were a trip, dealerships got all carried away. The folding seats are a huge bummer I like fitting stuff back there and being able to sleep inside. I been seeing more frontiers on the road hopefully the competition helps influence Toyota prices.
They definitely need to be taught lesson, they are way too expensive.
What’s happening to the Tundra? I was reading about engine failure in the 22s. Is that because of the turbo?
I haven’t seen engine failure, but a few leaking turbos.
I saw those reviews and it looked like they were fluffing past the rear seat room. The back seat folding and lack of storage in the Hybrids are bad. Add in the turbo 4 and ridiculous price increase and I’m glad I went for the 24 Pro.
Why was the check engine light on that Tacoma?
That 2024 TRD Pro is the Best Buy right now 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That check light was on for a loose gas cap. 😅
Can you tell me if the new forerunner and the new Tacoma are dual fuel injected and port injected? Thank you
I did say it in the video. Port and direct injected. 2 injectors per cylinder
(1 port / 1 direct)
You forgot to say why the check engine light was on at 169 miles???
Didn’t forget my friend, purposely left it out. Huge difference 😉
(Just a loose gas cap)
Probably JeffToyota reviews, he’s always getting into the trunk space 😂
Believe it or not, it wasn’t @jeffreviews
Well, the Tacoma is not selling well at the moment, and I think we all know why. Unfortunately, I foresee the same for the 6th gen 4Runner, especially with these MSRP's.
Maybe I am wrong, but it feels like Toyota is prioritizing fuel economy and hybridization over reliability and durability with their new generation of trucks. I took a leap of faith with my 2024 Tundra, and I am definitely regretting it with how many quality control and mechanical issues it's had in the short time I've owned it.
Keep putting out the honest content. Cheers!
Oh man, I feel your pain with that Tundra. Way too many issues.
I appreciate you watching!!
@@VikingsGarage thanks again for your content and advice on a previous video I asked a question on. I finally dumped the turd gen Tundra and got into a 2024 TRD ORP 4Runner. Couldn't be happier! Keep up the great content!
Congrats on the new ride!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Newer vehicles actually have better reliability save for a few kinks in the first year or two of production.
Not sure about the gas mileage on the new 4Runner we will see. My 2013 got 22-24 with original tires on long highway trips 60-75 mph. Now with the Cooper AT3s 18 mph seems about average for highway, its better if I can keep under 80. The outside of the 6th looks great not much changed, inside yeah not sure about a lot of stuff that tumble seat, and I noticed the lack of leg room on those preview videos also. The truck is bigger than the 5th gen how is it smaller (besides the batteries) on the inside? Still keeping my 2013 so far...
22-24 mpg are great numbers for a 5th Gen. That 2013 will outlast the new one, trust me.
Seems like the car industry starts with naturally aspirated engines then switches to turbo charges 4 cylinders and then back to naturally aspirated engines after the issues with turbo charges engines…..see you in 6 - 7 years v6
It’s funny you say that, we were just discussing this at work.
We all agree, it will go back to a V6 eventually.
I seriously doubt they will go back to a V6. Turbo engines are reliable and are here to stay. NA engines don’t have enough torque.
Another little observation,, new 4 runner does away with the engine hood struts? Back to a rod bar to keep the hood open and obviously no more manual four wheel drive shift on the off road and pro models👎👎👎
What a let down right, specially when it comes to that manual four wheel drive shift.
Does the 2025 come with electric power steering or is it still hydraulic?
Electric
@@VikingsGarage That is enough for me to say no thanks. My current vehicles are all hydraulic steer, including my new 24 5th gen and my old tried and true 2008 land cruiser with 294k on it and going strong. Maybe my 5th gen is a bit of a dog, but if I feel the need for speed, I will saddle up the 5.7 V8 cruiser.
💯👏🏻
On no planet will that engine get 20 city. Small turbos with heavy vehicles do horrible in city. They do okay at freeway speeds at constant speed on level ground.
No flat cargo area is huge fail. It’s a deal breaker for me.
It’s not only a disappointment but the sales figures will show how poorly of a decision this is. 👎🏻
Gbye TOYOTA!!
They will feel it, changes will be needed.
Keep it no more blue collar workers truck 🛻 toyota is going the wrong way shame on toyota
It’s a shame!!
Who’s making these decisions
@@VikingsGarage toyota corporate headquarters more money 💰 cost to make a suv is 17.500 big profit
Wow, insane.
How many of my viewers are actually going to buy the new 4Runner? Let me know by liking this comment
