2021 Toyota 4Runner & Jeep Gladiator Diesel: Off-Road Snow Adventure
Рет қаралды 218,142
Күн бұрынWe take a 2021 Toyota 4Runner and a new Jeep Gladiator Diesel deep into the woods on a winter snow adventure. Which is the better vehicle and is it better to run chains on all-seasons or do mud-traction tires provide the superior experience? We have a lot of questions on this episode.

20:20 Chains always go on the drive axle, don't need a manual to tell you that. What you do need the manual for is to see if there are restrictions on the type of traction control devices that can be used, generally due to clearance issues. Some say low-profile cables only, some have no limitations. Follow the requirements/limitations in the manual so you avoid damage.

Hey dude, glad to see you doing more off-roading (or snow-roading). I tried to say before: those chains are not appropriate for off-roading. Those are for highway driving. You need some less convenient, ladder-style, much thicker chains (boron steel, ideally, possibly v-bar if you want max traction) for more durability if you drive over logs, rocks, etc. Those little guys will snap, plus they just don't have the same bite. I'd also put them on all 4 wheels if I were driving in 4wd (and maybe even if I wasn't) - why does the manual say not to chain up in the front?

2:28 All-seasons and M/Ts are at opposite ends of the spectrum, neither are really good in the snow. Short of dedicated winter tires, a good 3PMSF all-terrain tire like the Falken Wildpeak A/T3w is a great choice for use in all conditions. I've run all-seasons, all-terrtains, and mud-terrain tires over the years and the Wildpeak tires I currently run have been the best I've had.

@@jonnaterry large displacement NA engine, 5 speed auto. Last generation interior. I think you'd be hard pressed to argue that is not dated.

The 4runner is comfort food, is not exotic or fancy, simply satisfying.

@@jonnaterry that's the rub, the 4Runner is a dinosaur, which admittedly some people like, and it's only real competition is the Jeep Wrangler. And not too many people cross shop the 2, because you're either a Jeep person or a Toyota person. I have a 4Runner, however I think in a lot of ways the Wrangler is a superior vehicle, however the Toyota probably has the edge in reliability and use as a daily driver. Actually, I guess I contradicted myself because I actually did cross shop the two. I really really wanted the Jeep, however the JL Rubicon was just out of budget, and there weren't any on the used Market at the time, so I settled on a 2013 4Runner Trail Edition as a much cheaper, and better daily driver. The real Trail Edition, I should specify. Mine has the rear locker, crawl control, and MTS.
@trailrunnah8886 3 жыл бұрын
@@PatrickRich the current generation 4Runner is actually okay, it just needs a total interior redo, and a new drive train. If they stuck with the same basic body and chassis architecture, it's not even that bad. The worst part about it for sure is that 4 liter V6 and the 5-speed transmission. The gearing seems off, and the engine never makes any power where you need it. Pressing the gas pedal harder is basically just accompanied by transmission downshifts and more noise, but very little actual acceleration. I mostly love my 4Runner, but the four liter just makes me cringe. Maybe it would be better at least if it didn't sound so terrible.

@KTMcaptain 3 жыл бұрын
So why not drive a model T? The 8 speed is leaps and bounds better than the 5 speed. It’s actually the best auto I’ve ever driven by far. Converted me over from manual vehicles as my first ever auto car for myself. The 3.6 pentastar is a proven 10 year old engine, along with Dana 44 axles and NP transfer case shifted by a lever I don’t know what else could be more “don’t fix what ain’t broke.” . Unless you’re justifying the horrific interior on that 10 plus year old outdated Toyota. Which has nothing to do with reliability. . Though an axle is far more reliable and old school than ifs. But leave it to yota folk to rationalize something with nonsensical justifications.

I love the location for this comparison. There are lots of reasons people will go with one over the other and I own a Jeep Wrangler so I can speak to my reliability and I’ve got very few issues with my experience. In the winter there’s less of a discussion about what a large part of a Gladiator offers compared to the 4Runner. I’m speaking about an open cabin experience; other than the soon coming Bronco or the Wrangler, there’s no comparison. We are also talking about a truck vs. an SUV. So in the whole user experience, payload and towing has also to be considered. Ultimately it comes down to which gives you more smiles per mile. ✌🏼

If more snow then shift to 4-lo and no issues. Putting chains on a 4runner is laughable- get better tires. Second always have a chainsaw in the back.

I always question a little when people say a 4 runner can do everything a jeep can off-road becasue everybody’s definition off off-road is different . For me solid axles , lots of articulation, lockers front and rear a 4:1 gear in the Tcase and the ability to put 37s on with only a couple inches of lift beats out any computer traction system . That being said for a daily driver/weekend explorer rig a 4 runner would win out ..... maybe . Don’t be afraid to air down to 15psi in the deep snow, you would not believe the difference in traction dropping from 20-15psi when you get down to 10 is when you really see AT/MT tires come alive in deep snow but usually requires beadlocks .

Stevens Pass can get nasty in the winter months. We usually go over Blewitt Pass and pick up I-90 in Cle Elum to and from Seattle.

ON ALL THESE TYPES OF ADVENTURES; Gas, or electric chain saw should be a standard load out. At lease a SAW ZAW.

Haven't driven a new gladiator diesel, but the 4runner has only received facelifts and minor power update since 2010. The engine and trans have been around since 2003. Yes the jeep products are more money but its R&D money and updating the product with new equipment and completely new generations. Id pickup a 4th gen v8 and do some maintance and mods, or just get a rubicon.

Have to agree those all seasons are not great in snow, my 2021 sr5 premium came with the Dunlops they aren't great in the snow. Fantastic on the HW though.

Can TRD on proper tires do same off road as Jeep? Would be nice if someone can comment here. I see other videos and Jeep really can go in mud and snow

Great video thank you. One thing, dont put chains on , a honda civic will go in the snow with chains on😂.. drive tires only and let each vehicle rise or fall on its own merits . Its own un enhanced ability’s and 4wd system capabilities .. i live in the mountains of PA and ride mountain trails in my Jeep all year long and have never seen anyone ever use chains. Most people will not do that , so your giving them an unrealistic view of what the vehicle can do . Hell ya had a gladiator with ya you were never in any danger of getting stuck anyway.. just my opinions ..

Yes I do love 4Runners, but I do not like the stance they come from factory, especially the Limited. All 3 of my 4Runners SR5, TRD ORP & Limited are lifted with tire upgrades. I love how they look after a small lift.

Last time I went up to Jack Pass was on a bicycle. It it pretty in the snow. Agree with the conclusion - the 4Runner makes more sense.

You should compare a 2007 4runner vs a 2014 4runner if you ever get the chance too, so people who want to offroad can see what olternative has better options for the price

My Toyota dealer has always thrown in a set of snow tires or at the very least rims so I see these videos as a little off in the approach. No one in my province drives all season tires after October. In fact at least one province dictates winter tires as a requirement.

In my experience, the deeper the snow is, the better mud tires are. I ran mud tires on my old Grand Cherokee, and they were terrific in slushy snow and deep snow. Not so much on packed down snow.

If you get a TRD Off Road Premium make sure you opt in KDSS!! A huge difference in the ride.

Nothing better than a toyota. My FJ Cruiser over 200k and runs like new. Maybe a new 4runner soon.

Good news not much has changed on the interior of that 4runner since 1996 LOL You guys trying to recreate Austin Powers 20 point turn? That guy could’ve backed up 8 more feet 🤦🏼♂️

My thoughts exactly...then not showing how many times the 4 runner turned around. A skilled driver would have put it into "snowblower" mode and whipped a shitty in the landing.
