Re-upload from 2010

I’ve been watching you for so long that I bought a crosstrek, then traded that in for a bronco sport, then traded that in for a 4Runner TRD Off-road. I stopped at the 4Runner, it’s perfect. 😊

Ryan, As long as they keep selling them and people keep buying them, you should keep testing them. 😉 We are looking forward to the Land Cruiser and Land Cruiser FJ tests on your many courses . 😁

I held off for a while buying a 5th gen, but with it being fairly obvious Toyota is releasing the 6th gen for 2025 and that they'll almost undoubtedly be throwing a 4cyl hybrid into it, I decided to pull the trigger on a 2024 TRD ORP. I absolutely love it so far.

Showing LOVE for my absolute FAVORITE auto channel Thank You for another great video once again and also Thank You for the hard work and research y'all do for this channel I truly do appreciate it point blank Thank You and have a blessed day everyone

I just got this literal same trd pro and have been loving it

4Runner is yours and my favourite vehicle on the channel. So many tough conditions, rocoveries and underbody hits. Another great episode. Greetings

Awesome Toyota 4Runner TRD PRO!

I really like your off roading videos! IMHO you meet or exceed off-roading experience besting the pros. You have some wicked videos and I don’t think people appreciate you as much as they should. Thanks bruh 😎

The 4runner is probably the best do it all SUV out there right now. It's not the best off-road, with some Wrangler and Bronco trims beating its capabilities off the lot, and it's not the best hauler - the big 3 row SUVs with higher payloads and tow ratings beat it there. However it is VERY good off-road. You can fit A-LOT of stuff in it, especially when you take advantage of the tons of roof storage options for it. It can also tow a decent amount for the vehicle size/class - if you're not in a hurry. It's also the same length as a Subaru Outback just to give an idea on how easy it is to drive and park in the city and suburbs. All of that AND it's probably the most reliable vehicle currently in production - it's no wonder Toyota is stretching this generation as long as they can.

Awesome video. Even in Stock configuration it does an amazing job. Your experience and persistence really shines man, I’d say majority of people would’ve given up.

Funny,i always enjoy the current Toyota 4runner TRD-PRO reviews no matter how many times.i guess I can't get enough of it(4runner)😅

Car and Driver tested 2024 tacoma trd pro and the MPG was 19. I have a 2023 4runner and im glad i got the last of the 6 cylinder 4runners. I encourage others to get the 2024 4runner, since MPG is almost the same as the 6th Gen will use the Tacomac engine. Stick to the proven and reliable powertrain.

It’s really awesome how much work up you put into creating your course for this and future videos. You certainly stay busy! Nice work 🎉

Commited Car reviewer. That why I love watching your videos.

Had a 21 Outback Onyx XT from watching your reviews and now I have a 2024 4runner TRD ORP all thanks to you 😁

I'm digging the new color. Much better than Lime Rush. It's funny that the reviews for this vehicle are exactly the same going back years and years (I have a 2013 Trail with all the exact same off-road features) but at least you know you're getting when you buy one. Respect for taking the time to move all those rocks around manually, the course is shaping up really well! Being able to build my own off-road course would be a dream come true.

My wife and I love watching your videos. Especially when do videos with 4runner. I also like videos with crosstrek. Little obsessed with crosstrek....just hate the CVT. Thanks for videos!

Love my 2024 4 Runner TRD. Sport!!!!

With all the bells and whistles on the Toyota TRD Offfroads, I use 4Lo + locker as needed, most often. It's simple, no hunting around for dials and buttons, and I can just drive. It get's me through everything all the other settings can with less fiddling. The tec is neat, but 4lo and locked is about all you need.

It’s a beast, literally. Simply the best. ♥️

What a fun video! I was on pins and needles! Great way to showcase ATRAC and MTS!

Gonna miss this legendary naturally aspirated V6 when Toyota drops it for the new 4Runner. Thanks EPA 😒

Great video! Watching you lift those rocks hurt my back. 😂

We'd love to see more of your 4runner videos!!!! 😍😍😍

The main weakness of the 4runner is that it can't take full 33" or 35" tires without mods. The current tires are only 31.5". I hope the new 4runner will take larger tires from the factory.

Great video. I have always wanted a 4Runner

Love my 4Runner but the first thing I did was swapped out those horrible factory tires for better all terrains and it's helped so much.

Congratulations on this great new course! A little optimization here and there. For example, a longer, steep (30°) climb. Looks really good.

Bought my 4Runner TRDOR with 8 miles on it in 2018. I distinctly remember the salesman saying he would see me next year when the 6th gen comes out...

luv the old girl. buying the 2025. looking forward to your thorough review in the future -thanks

Great video! I'd love to see what the outback or forester wilderness would do on the rock crawling portion even though they're not as capable as the 4runner! (Once the mud has dried up a bit!)

This channel is underrated 😊 KZfaq should revisit there algorithms

Great video Ryan. I'd love to see a comparison video between this and the new Land Cruiser when you get yours. Thanks again.

Playing with cars in the mud, best job EVER.

I don't know... that last corner is fine... you don't get to adjust corner in real life when you go off-roading and often the roads are narrow - show people that IRL they will need to make 50 point turns, lol! Awesome course, at first I was like - not long enough, but, by the end I was like perfect! Can't wait for more same length content - I watched the whole thing, no skipping.

For the first time I felt represented in this channel, working in Brazil Atlantic forest, I daily got my self in situations like these, lots of mud, much stickier clay and steep hills, driving a rented L200 4x4, without any locker, a not even AT tires. Its been a strugle.

2” lift and 35” KO3’s and that thing would be a beast…

My fav YT cars channel!!

Great job as always, I think you are gonna keep us guessing as to which Land Cruiser you ordered. 😊

As always awesome video. Its no joke taking a journalist vehicle on a trail. Not everyone understands that. Anyways I'm glad my family has trusty old school 4runners before Toyota decided to go Turbo route.

A good challenge for the capable 4 Runner. Would like to see another quite capable Forester Wilderness give it a try.

The Terra color grows on me each time I see it.

Wow. Amazing video and course preparation. Best off-road reviewer I've ever seen! I'm looking to get something that I can use for forest service trail roads but hopefully never one as bad as this one! Also will do 10s of 1000s of miles per year driving the US, car camping, hiking in parks, etc. Which vehicles do you recommend I look at among Toyotal, Jeep, Bronco and Honda?

Beautiful

Finally, you have a proper SUV on this channel. Instead of all those unibody cars in the market. Hint hint Subaru and Honda, if you can’t build a proper SUV don’t try to fool consumers with your mediocre offerings which essentially a minivan platform.

I and people in the know, want this 4runner for its reliability and simplicity. Screw the cameras.

Awesome

A good workout for you and the truck.

What insane logic did you use to trade your 4Runner on a Maverick?? You should make a video about that.

Awesome ride they just need to do something for the MPG’s, adding an extra gear or two would help tremendously

Great video! It would be awesome if you can take the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness trim on that new Trail course you made. Would love to see that!

Great vehicle and nice color 👍

Great Video as always. Quite convenient to have a private trail. Based on the Video title I thought it was a new 4Runner Special Edition... The new 2024 TRD PRO Rock Trail Off-Road. I like it that the 4Runner looks so boring, but it can handle anything.

Wish I could afford one of these! I'd live in it.

Argueably the most capable off-roady SUV that is still in production. There’s no match in the modern market to Toyota 4Runner in terms of off-road capabilities and reliability all the same time. Some may argue that Jeep Wrangler can come close to it but they always tend to forget that Wrangler may take you to the off-road course but there are not guarantees that it will bring you back home. With Toyota 4Runner though you’re always guaranteed to come home on time. Great review!!

I sold my lime rush, Trd pro and bought a 23 GX 460 currently doing an Overland build But I missed the looks of the 4runner!! Such a beautiful car and I miss that roll down window!! But the GX definitely has some better creature comforts

I don't know but that 4runner would go through all this with ease my 2021 taco sr5 4x4 does this any day

For those that want a 4Runner before they add more moving parts to a smaller engine, a wireless CarPlay adapter is like 50 bucks on Amazon. A wireless charging center console tray is like 20 bucks. Boom no more wiring your phone for any phone things.

This is how Austin Powers would off-road

Look cool😊

Love the new obstacle ridden little course. I wonder how a Bronco on 35s would do on it. hmm

rear locker can also make the lateral slide happen out back if your off camber. good test. but it's a mistake to lock the rear, just use the rock mode and it's capabilities won't be hindered by the rear shifting on you.

I own the 2021 TRD Pro 4Runner. I’m looking forward to seeing what they do with the next generation. It lacks power(peddle commander helps) simple things like a power lift gate, rain sensing windshield wipers and the rear wiper is not good. I do not like the exhaust sound that is unique to the TRD Pro. Gas mileage is my biggest complaint. With all of that said I still love the vehicle. Its off-road chops are fantastic. I have 2 dogs and they love the roll down rear windshield. I wish mine had come with the rollout rear tray so the entire surface would have been flat when the seats were folded down. I purchased the Luno mattress($300) thinking they would have compensated for the dip down aft of the rear seat but they did not. Don’t waste your money on the Luno mattress unless you have that pullout tray. Finally the roof rack is kinda useless. Most well equipped versions remove this POS rack. I stopped plans to build this unit into a proper overlander in favor of waiting to see how the Land Cruiser is and of course what the next gen changes.

keyless start was introduced in 2020.. my 2020 venture has keyless...love the color of the 24

Hey man.. I’m so looking forward to see you adding the Land Cruiser on that curse road then the 4Runner trd pro to see which one performs better :)

I feel like you have had to be mistaken for the legend Mike Leach at least once in your life. RIP pirate.

56k holy fuck cars are too expensive

i took my wrangler offroading with 4HI. No biding at all with turning as well.

Great vehicle if you rock climb and trail ride.

Sometimes you just have to push on through instead of stopping Everytime you feel a bump.

"we need to wait for that rain to stop" I think that is a PNW joke.

I wonder how Honda Pilot Trailsport would do on the new course. Probably would need better tires for this one.

Jusssssst send it already!

“We are in a better position now” continues to take the same line

Running both ways would be the most productive use of the course.

I have a 2024 off-road premium with KDSS and rock rails, wild peak tires and Uptop roof rack that is much better than the Pro rack. In the future adding Fox shocks with a minor lift of about 2 inches. I feel these additions will definitely outperform a Pro for about same money. Wish you would do the Test course with a 2024 4Runner with KDSS. Also upgrading the tires but not absolutely necessary. The KDSS will give you more articulation.

I finally got to sit in it at the Silicon Valley Auto Show. It still looks so nice and inside its rugged but is a little dated. And the rear seats do not lay flat which is a big miss on these trucks whom can take you into amazing places, but you can't stretch out in it. Thanks for the vids... but missing the chicken run.

I wish the next gen 4runner comes with better mileage, but as reliable and powerful as the current V6 4 litre. 7/8 Auto and manual transmission as well.

The new nose update in the 5th generation (0:40) came out in the 2014 model year, not in 2013.

You didn't need to lock the rear for the 1st corner.

Nothing like off roading the forest moon Endor.

Great vid. What PSI were you running?

Sadly this is the end of one of the greatest SUV ever built .

le faltó jinete a esa yegua. super buena camioneta.

Interesting. I think my TRD OR with the KDSS and KO2's would have just walked it w/out all that trail reconfiguration and multitude of line checks. I get it tho, not your rig, so have to be especially delicate. And you are judging the course for even less capable rigs. And with that in mind, I think it is going to be too much for anything you want to just drive through with.

I love my 22 sr5. We dont need a 6th gen just keep it as is

I am only careful with trucks for first year. After that it starts to get abused. I do not get out of truck alot to see what did i hit 😅

The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser LC70 series in the middle east now uses the same v6 1grfe engine as the 4runner. How about that.

whatever happened to the Ranger Raptor you had ordered?

It will be interesting to see how the Tacoma Trailhunter deals with this course

weird that they put the older style wheels on the 2024. Not that it matters much because of the 6th gen that just came out. This one still looks better :)

Pushing the best of the best to the limits👍🏼 TRD PRO FLOOR MATS: “This should be fun.”

I hope they’re not going backwards with the 4Runner. Idk what Toyota was thinking giving the new Land Cruiser 8.7” of ground clearance, a laughable spec for modern off-roading. A Toyota employee told me they were ready to release the new 4Runner in 2024 but then the Bronco came out, so Toyota had to do some redesigns to make the 4Runner competitive. My guess is they probably made the 4Runner a more on-road oriented vehicle but the demand for the Bronco was so great that Toyota had to go back to the drawing board. As for myself, I’ve test driven the Wrangler Rubicon, Bronco, etc. and I’ve decided to keep my Lime Rush Pro forever. I can always count on it to start when I push the button, wherever I take it.

I’m really hoping that the sixth generation 4Runner has a straight axle upfront instead of independent front suspension. I have a jeep wrangler Rubicon unlimited and it is absolutely superior off-road. It would be nice to have a secondary vehicle if the 4Runner did go to a straight axle upfront.

Just bought this car

Love the detail on off road you do ....however I have a jeep Cherokee trailhawk and I looked back 3 years and I cant find one review ..lots of the compass and the Grand Cherokee and even smaller model but nothing on the one I drive have you ever done a review on the Cherokee

I suspect that a Wrangler Rubicon would walk up that by comparison.

Leave the rear lock her on, put it on a track and just go on through the stuff, I’ve gone through worse than that with the rear locker and crawl control

Stacking rocks helps.
