I've had full time 4wd on all my vehicles including 2 Jeep Wranglers. I'm thinking of buying a 24 before the new design comes out. If I DONT get the Limited that has the full time 4wd, am I going to miss or regret not getting full time , or is the rear drive with 4L 4H going to be just as good?.

It's a great engine for the cheap gasoline days, but for today's standard, it is definitely a 'financially unfortunate' engine. I know people who defend for these engines always pull out the 'reliability' and 'high resale value' but that's really about all they have for the extremely high upkeep cost for these vehicles. I'd love to keep one if I made $200,000 + a year in income.

@@Notification93 Again, you are projecting your feelings as if they are facts. 18mpg in a reliable vehicle is cheaper than 24mpg in an unreliable vehicle.

@@kerplunk38880 Exactly, that's why I'm purchasing this vehicle next year since my annual business income is projected to grow over $200k. However, as I stated, this is definitely a financially unfortunate engine.

@@Notification93 You are incorrect. Unless you are driving an excessive amount of miles the gas cost is negligible in comparison to any similar sized SUV. Your $200,000 business income is a good personal goal.

@@kerplunk38880 based on my budgeting sheet, 4runner is still a lot more expensive to own and upkeep compared to almost any other vehicle of this size. It's a financially-unfortunate vehicle for sure. Maybe your situation is different if you reside in the U.S. but in Canada, where I reside, especially on the west coast, the gas price is insane.

😮😂

Get an off-road premium. Just as capable, no markup and lower MSRP.

IMO AWD is not necessary. Tires make a way bigger difference. AWD won't save you from a loss of traction. It helps you accelerate when wheels slip, but does nothing to help you slow down. AWD also comes with more stress and wear on the drivetrain , more weight, more complexity , and reduced gas mileage.

Trd pro get their own exclusive color every year

They will on trd off-road and trd sport next year for sure and the trd pro will get a new color!

Because base models are just that...basic! If you want something nice you have to pay for it, if you can't pay for it, work harder!

That being said, very reliable vehicle

@@edwin32086 Truth.

Wrong. Very reasonably priced compared to other SUV's. Not to mention, the maintenance on these is minimal whereas Ford and Jeep owners easily pay out $10-$15K in repairs during a 5 yr period.

If you want quality and reliability, it comes with a price. If you want flashy lights and a cheap build, Kia and Hyundai is your choice.
