The Toyota 4Runner is the Off-Road car of the people. With a reputation for being bulletproof, it became the off-road car that defined the SUV. We cover its humble inspiration- the Toyota Trekker, the low power, but indestructible, rock dominating first and second gen 4Runners, and the Modern Luxury SUV off-road monster it is today. This is everything you need to know to get Up to Speed on the Toyota 4Runner.

I miss my 4th gen, I occasionally cry about it in my 5th gen.
Me too
Why?
same
3rd gen for life
@@jasonblaha8918 2nd gen for life
This is probably my favorite series on CZcams
Same. So well produced. Perfect balance of great info and humor. Love Up to Speed. We need to nominate them for whatever awards they potentially qualify for.
definitely agree, and seeing the appreciation of toyotas i'm really hoping to see an upcoming tacoma episode!
OhighO Skater man
Oh for sure… sad the boys don’t own it anymore… I hope I’m dead wrong about that.
He’s right about them being indestructible, my uncle has a 1988 with 300,000 miles and it still running strong 💪
Volvo: Are you challenging me?
Idk can it beat my 1986 with 600,000+ miles?
@@egle7837 Yes...yes it can
Those are rookie numbers for 4runner
hydrolife tech he doesn’t use it as much anymore he’s got a newer one now.
So Toyota single handedly brought the SUV trend into the light with this car
Toyota stays underrated.
they start the crossover class with the rav4, and i think their are suppose to be launching a yaris pickup so new class again
@@mikhailgonsalves7821
I want them to make a RAV5.
A cool looking, diesel-hybrid, off-roader, with seven seats or something.
GODDAMN IT TOYOTA
براہمداغ You’re going to be waiting a lot time for that sir
@@chriscarguy I guess Toyota highlander fills that roll. Albeit it doesn't come in diesel.
Anyway, i think Pajero sports 2020 is amazing for now.
Now, I only want some company to make an electric SUV with a motor in each wheel, and a big diesel generator in the hood.
It would probably cost way too much. But it would still be cool to know that it exists lol
“At the drop of a hat you could disappear into the mountains, JUST LIKE MY DAD” 😂💀
Yes
What happened to your dad ?
You need help! lol. I’m thinking a Golden-doodle for those walks on 3rd street promenade or Venice canals.
That got dark real quick lol
Ikr 😂
The phone call skits are seriously the best thing since "Up to Speed".
it's so random i love it
#truth
First car I ever learned to drive in 11 years ago was my mom's old 1992 4runner that had 400,000 miles on it before the transmission went out. Engine was still strong. These things will literally outlive you.
LOVE my 3rd gen, SR5! Other than basic maintenance, I've added the Rough Country 3" suspension lift/level and 31" Wrangler MT/R Kevlar reinforced sidewall tires. So far, I've very carelessly driven WHERE EVER THE FUCK I PLEASE, with ZERO issues. Closest I've ever came to being stuck was 21+" deep (on 31's mind you), in the middle of the softest, muddiest, cornfield---I ALMOST crawled to a stop, but just before it did, I finally shifted into "4L" & pushed the "diff lock" button for the 1st time since I bought it, started cutting the steering wheel from side to side, and inched my way back to solid ground. The 2nd greatest moment I've EVER had in a corn field. 😂🔰 edit: 2002, with 295,000+ miles
Sweet
Actually got lost in that conversation and actually cared about the homies kid problems 😂
nicholas osborne i was curious at what they(he) never were to speak of again.
I assume they fucked.
These editors are pretty much gods.
Shredder -- You actually think this goof uses editors ? With all his 12 year old "humor" and cuteness ? He seems to think its about him and his amazing presentation
@Frenzied Unicorn Productions fair enough
@Phil Mccrevasse lmao
@@stevejette2329 lmao ok karen
Lol
Came back and rewatched this two years after I first saw it and I can't believe I missed the fact that they used footage of the 2nd Gen when James was describing the 3rd Gen.
They messed up hard and blew past the best gen
Also no mention of the 1kz
As a wisconsinite and a 4runner owner I feel proud
As a californian that surfs, and really wants a Hilux Surf RHD. I envy you so much
Everything we need to know to get up to speed on my dad please
lol, yes pls
#justlikemydad
You need to do one on the Suzuki samurai.
Just like dad always wanted #justlikemydad
Mike Arredondo yes yes yeeeeeeeeeees
i fucking love this guy
You’re officially my favorite channel after your conversation with your pretend brother in-law! 😂😂😂😂
I love my 3rd gen 4runner it’s unstoppable and never breaks down, still pulls hard and runs silky smooth at 270k miles seems like having another 270k miles on lifespan
There is a reason why it never fails.(spoiler alert)
BECAUSE IT IS A GODDAMN TOYOTA
Toyota, let’s go places
Toyota, let's go places 😎

I love the side story....I hope it all works out. That was some good acting.

I wounder what happened that night

Acting? What acting?
“Taking the kids to a soccer game...on a fu#%ing a mountain!” 😂😂 This is some good stuff. Excellent writing and...wait for it...I even learned something.
This was awesome. I’m the original owner on the 87’ 4Runner at 4:09. Sold it to a friend who turned it into the monster featured before selling it again a few years back. Love my 4th gen these days and can’t picture life without a 4Runner.
Please do up to speed on

FACTS
Savagegeese is also SUPER great.
I’ve got a third gen with 460k miles on it, it’s built like a tank! I’ve hauled, gone mudding, climbing, everything. It used to be my daily driver before I got my Rav4, I still keep it around as the fun car.
THIS IS LIKE DRUNK HISTORY 😂😂😂
😂
But for cars 🚗😂
It so is lol
more like, cross-faded history
😂
My wife owns a 1997 4Runner Limited with more than 300,000 miles on the odometer. Everything and I mean everything from the power door locks/windows/seats, moonroof, rear window, A/C, heater, power antenna etc all work and are original. Powertrain is all original as well. We live in the rust belt and the under body is better than cars I've seen that were 5 years old. Believe it or not she can pay cash for a loaded 2018 LX 570 but she won't even consider an upgrade because her 4Runner keeps on chugging along. True story
Right on man. I'm driving an 05' Sequoia with 260k miles, still runs like a dream and not a single big issue. Only real problem I had was the O2 sensors went bad (after 250k miles). Toyota is honestly the foreword in reliability
Nice! I'm still rockin my '96 4runner. Everything except the moonroof and rear latch work great. Welded the top shut and hold the back w/ a bungie :). It's my daily driver still.
No way the frame is still clean I you're in the rust belt unless you keep that puppy cleaned in oiled. Only flaw to these yotas, terrible frames.
Only 390,000 miles. Come see a Toyota Hilux made for Africa terrains and Safaris they easily go to million miles. Those made for America are not made for very rough terrains.
@@otitisjeje9928 i believe that a friends dad in el salvador has one and he says he has almost 900k miles on it
Dount Media-Everything you need to know | Up To Speed
do the famous Suzuki cappuccino. initial d bro lol
Ramcharger. .
Subaru Brat!!
I would like to see Up To Speed | Celica in future episodes!
Milion sub special
I went to school with a kid who's father owned an 87 with a lift the motor is currently at 700k.....right out of school I bought a 97 4runner she's currently at 370k
Edit: not to mention the 87 is still pushing 35 inch tires like a champ!
It's nice not having a car note isn't it?
I just got an 85 4runner sr5 from my step dad, she's a Michigan truck so she's a little rough around the edges. but for 230k miles, she runs like a beauty, 5speed manual with the 22re, she's awesome
Those Toyota dealers went full brokeback mountain.
This guy always looks like he's fighting a fever.
probably drinks alot
Michael M alcohol
Probably cause he yells alot
Hookers and blow 🤘🏼
“Just gotta ride it out.”
At 4:09 when he's talking about the independent front suspension how it makes it more number but shows a SFA climbing lol
good catch, it's actually this guy's 4runner, an 86 that he converted to SFA: czcams.com/video/FcfnCdnvjSw/video.html
yea hell no ifs makes it alot worse for wheelin i got a 3rd gen 4r broken cv boots like crazy fucking lower ball joints breaking and its a big thing in the 4runner community to do a SAS because ifs is shit
@@maxplzak2615 I have an 87 and I really dig the front axle as it is. I wheel it pretty hard on some soft rocky dirt and I've never had any issues, but I don't do any big rock crawling, which is probably why I don't miss the sfa.
I like the video bro.
I writing from other part of the world (Algeria)
Did anyone notice that donut went from like 240k to 400k in like a couple weeks?
junglejawa its the dad jokes.
yup... and I love it.
For every 1 dollar for 1 sub, he would legit be able to buy his Lamborghini by now
We noticed! Thank you so much! We love you guys!
This channel is getting the attention it deserves
WE NEED AN INITIAL D UP TO SPEED
no
Initial D is for weaboos who cream themselves over poorly animated drift cars and then claim they know the Japanese culture.
Shona No it's about so-bad-it's-good Eurobeat, knowledge on driving and the cars themselves, and if you like Japanese cars then why shouldn't you watch it?
TimothyCow23 I’d prefer an “Up To Speed” on the AE86, would be better. Also not much of an Initial D fan.
Drift Rai Getting knowledge on driving from Initial D is about as effective as getting knowledge on physics from Wile E. Coyote. I like Japanese cars, it's my favourite of all markets. But just because I like them doesn't mean I'd need to watch it so I can jizz over a fucking hatchi roku. Some of these initial D fanboys are beyond ridiculous. They'll say shit like, "Oh yeah it's called [Japanese name] (English translation) it's a very popular technique."
Like why the fuck do you even need to bother? You wrote the entire sentence in English, bar one Japanese word, but you wrote the English translation anyway. Are you just trying to cater to Japanese speakers? Nope, because all they'll see "jibberish, jibberish, familiar word, more jibberish". You're not catering to them, you're just trying to show off to everyone else. "Look at me everyone, I know the Japanese word for it, I am sooooo smart!!!"
Initial D fanboys are awful. If you wanna watch it, watch it, but don't fucking parade around like it's your adopted culture.
Disapeard in the wood “just like my dad” burhhh got me dyyying with laughter 😂
This is your dad. I'll see you next Christmas son. Great vid btw!
CoachSteve4u It’s time
A couple days
did u end up visiting him?
I've been a Ford guy as long as I can remember had Rangers and Broncos also f150s but to change it up and do something different I just bought a 2005 4Runner and I don't think I will ever go back . I swear it can drive on a dime as well up a hill . Smooth like a camery but can go off road like a Ranger. Can't get much better than a 4 runner!
My 2005 4runner is the best vehicle I’ve ever Owned sadly lost her on a trail
Dan Manthe This sounds like fake news.
@@danmanthe9335 maybe you are just shit at driving?
Ben A probably changes his oil every 10,000 miles
@@danmanthe9335 you shouldn't be driving.
Dudes pleeeeeeease do a real 240 vid not just a 9 facts
Good sugestion
S E C O N D E D PLEASE
They did in the 370Z video
We might revisit the 240 in the future ;)
Donut Media Y Y Y E E E E E E S S S ! ! !
seriously though, it's awesome that you guys listen to your fans.
The original 240 vid isn't bad. It has great production value & is highly informative, props to whoever made it.
I don't mean to speak for everyone but, I know I personally just want one in this new Up To Speed format
My dad had a 3rd gen Hilux Surf, and when he bought it, 2 of his brothers got ones as well. Went through some crazy climbs with them together too, my dad even put an 18-inch sub in the back. ONLY gripe with them is that they can roll over pretty easily because they have a high center of gravity.
Also with that tailgate, you could get an option with a spare wheel on the back that you'd open to the side and you could still flip down the back, there's another trim level that came with a sunroof too.
They even had a little light on the dash that would tell you when the turbo started to spool :)
I miss ours, when it was imported there were two jet skis above it, so the roof wasn't perfect :/ found some Japanese money in it though :)
We occasionally saw the new owner, he loved the thing to death.
I freaking love these videos they are always entertaining and funny as hell lol
This is the best car related content on youtube. I frickin love this!!! keep it up!!
I used to hate 4 runners because this one chick at school drove it but then I saw her boyfriend supercharge it and do a burn out in the Pizza Hut parking lot
Glint Eastwood excellent
That's valid
Cool story bro
No that’s the end really i didn’t like her or anything she was associated with except for the Toyota
@@glinteastwood9396 sounds like you were bullied lol
My mom is giving me her 2000 toyota 4runner sr5 when I am 16 so I am super excited!!!
The Chicken Nuggets congratulations
Elwookiee07 Thanks!!!
What a great gift and first vehicle
lacedbassAK Thank you! I am super stoked!
Make sure it’s babied and taken care of it’ll last forever
Got a 98, thing still drives amazing and never ever leaves me stranded. Toyota tough💪
That story was heartwarming 😢 gave me the feels
Grizzly Garage I can relate!
It's confirmed boys he talked to his dad and met him at Xmas 🎄 thanks to all the comments!!
7:08 "oh, and, there's an electric locking system for the rear differential, which in laymans terms means you could lock the rear diff electronically." Nailing it my dudes.
I had a 1997 4runner lifted. With the v6 and that stock widebody kit. Loved it!! Miss that thing!!
Up to speed on the Toyota AE86
匚卄丹れ匕工匚口 YT there are like 2 models no
It sucks
Its a Corolla a boring car. And the fucking anime is shit.
Verti Dirty Birty dayum dude never hate on the 86 its a jdm legend
Eddy GT86 is not a corolla thats for sure meanwhile the AE86 has debuted in America not as these two brothers known as Trueno and Levin but,as Corollas.For those who never driven them,its casual for them to say its a boring car.Its more than a car if you want more than just pure speed.
Up to speed with the Ford focus?
This!!
I've been asking this on every single up to speed..
focus? why? escort cosworth or something way more interesting, hell i'd rather even see the "contour" or a lumina lol
The only time youll see focus and speed in the same sentence
fightmeirl didn't the escort become the escort.
Dude got me when he said "haulin' the kids to soccer practice at the top of a fuckin mountain," ahhhhhhh lmao 🤣
Never thought I would own one of these things and now I love it lol. It’s lasted 230k miles and it’s in the shop right now for a new rad and water pump
how about its older sibling? the Land Cruiser and its variants?
Snoop Doge I haven't watched yet. Did he mention the Trail Blazer?
DrFuNK
4:27
A N A R C H Y it was (and still) reliable car before the 4runner was introduced, my dad still drives his 2004 Land cruiser with manual gear
Basically jeeps but shit and overpriced
I've had a 88, 91 and 92. They're badass. I can see why someone who never experienced the toughness, reliability, capability of the 1st or 2nd gen Toyota 4x4s and the 20/22R would see it as just another suv. Old Toyota 4x4s hold their value extremely well and people swear by them. They're the shiznit.
*Holy tangent episode Batman*
Last I saw(I haven't been back to check on it in over a year), my dad's 4runner('01 limited model) was sitting right about 275k miles, ran like a top, and still rode comfortably on and off the road. And he needs that considering the dirt road he lives on. I swear that thing is going to outlast us all, so long as it doesn't get in a wreck. Because holy shit did Toyota fuck up its impact durability. The bumper crumples from a 3mph crash(trust me, I know from experience).
Still, I love that thing. Though I'm pretty sure my brother gets first dibs.
The mileage mentioned on some of these comments is truly inspirational. Hopefully I will get similar mileage out of my 5th gen
Well this episode was unexpected to say the least
yeah i know come on we haven't run out of cool cars yet, were not too doing a video on JUST a 4 runner
Up to speed is just about that, giving you knowledge about cars you don't know much about
It was pretty interesting
Don’t get me wrong I still loved this episode!!
Yeah, it's also pretty wrong. These truck are awesome, but this video had some pretty bad infom
*TOYOTA CELICA*

that would be a good one

I just learnt about the RallyCross Celica. Pretty cool and thanks to Mr Loud Speaking John Davis.
They basically already did one
Love these videos keep them coming!!!!
So cool you did a segment on one of my true loves of my life, my 2006 4runner Sport. I even love it more than my bucket list car, a 2000 Porsche Boxster. Reliable, dependable, cheap to run, dependable(did I say dependable?). I just did a 105K mile check over at the Toyota dealer. PASSED! Even the digital diagnostic found no issues. I'll never be without one.
Grew up in and ended up driving a 4runner as my first car. we ended up putting over 300k miles on it before we sold it to another kid who is still driving the thing. can confirm, the thing never needed anything besides basic maintenance.
Do the ae 86
A Corolla. How fucking fun.
Good video my man...I love your sense of humor dude!!
I love how these shows have mini stories that go on while giving a history lesson
0:39 So the 4Runner was fisted into existence...now that is something I truly did not know! lol
You have thee most unique presentation style. Your gona be famous...
You're *

Grammar Nazi thank god someone else said it
Thank you.
As soon as I drove out, 4Runners - 6 of them!
I LOVED this video!!! You guys are awesome
The skits are the best ! The edits are dope af ! The knowledge dropped here is the best !
The way he pronounced hilux set me off. Its HI-LUX, not HEE-LIX. (Im Australian btw. Toyota's for life).
Agreed. Far too common here in America.
The poms call it a HILL-UX 🤢
90% of Americans have never even heard of the Hilux name tbh bro
He's trying to say Hilux?? hahaha. He got it so wrong.
@@Grubbet its really nbd, hes a comedian car show host.. but yeah it was incorrect... maybe he did it to break the internet so all the Taco fan boys can LOSE THEIR SHIT!!! muawhahaha
WE WANT COROLLA AE86
Obama Fan it's coming very soon!!
Obama Fan boring cars, AE86, more boring cars, GT86 that's not even a Corolla
Mr 7K5 i mean why the hate though,its a joy car and definitely a good 4 banger than you cant bang
Donut Media omg YES!
Obama Fan i just sayd that but I WANT IT 2!!
I love mine, I had been wanting one since 2015, and finally got it last year. It was worth the wait
Just found this channel, funny, but still give you lots of real useful info
Do suzuki samurai/jimny, it's a legend
Hahaha so true
i agree with the LJ, SJ, samurai, jimny saga please @donut media!!
Salvador Maño If im not wrong the samurai was called a jimny since the start of production, but in other places it was called samurai, and jimny means something like "go SUV-ing" in japan if im not mistaken...anyway i want one and will buy it one day
Blaž Benčič yes i know, also chevrolet selled samurais, also called holden drover in australia & maruti gipsy in india, if u like the samurais i got one, check out for "hummerinator" here i youtube
Salvador Maño i will
now you gotta do the Tacoma.
As much as I like the Tacoma I'd rather see a Dodge Dakota
Earl Rogers Dodge is bringing back the Dakota?
Earl Rogers Time for me to get an upgrade, I have the 99 Dakota sport 5.2l V8
Earl Rogers you must drive a Ford
Earl Rogers Look man I’m not a big fan of Chrysler either even tho I drive a Dodge lol. The only reason I have my truck is because my old car was falling apart and my relative offered me his truck for a couple hundred. I would like to have a different vehicle, but I still like my truck and will probably drive it until it dies
I just bought a 98 hilux surf while being stationed here in Japan. Bone stock unmolested no rust 100k miles for $3k I love it so much
Is there one on the Suzuki jimny/samurai/vitara?
Up to speed on the Toyota Corolla
yeahhhhh!!!!
Up to speed Toyota Land Cruiser!!! We need it!!

I bought a 3rd gen 4x4 SR5 new off the lot in '96, still driving it 250k+ miles later.. I'll probably be driving it until I'm too old to drive any more. I did have to replace basically every moving part under the front end, rack and pinion, ball joints, rod ends etc. at a bit over 200k which is the first real repair I've had to do to it. Planning on a paint job, new carpet and interior in the next few years.
Still one of my favorite videos on youtube! Freakin hilarious!

Two days ago I just bought a 96' 4Runner Limited 4x4 with that super cool ELECTRIC locking dif. Excited to see if this thing is worth all the hype it gets. I've heard nothing but great things about the 4Runner.
Each one this videos is better than the last one you are awesome donut boys

Haha I replaced the coolant in my old Exploder with water in the radiator....in December...in Minnesota. It ran for over a week before it finally froze hard, blew a hose off, ran without any coolant and finally seized and died so that I could "justify" buying a 4runner
