Cons for some: rides like a truck, doesn't have all the safety features of some of the competition, storage could be better thought out. Pros: solidly built, good headroom, excellent back seat legroom, fast air and seat heat, good turning radius.

This is a truck that if you take care of it will last 200k no problem. I traded my last limited in for this new 2019 . My old 2012 limited had 160,000 miles and it ran great with little to no issues. My 2019 is a dream the nav is very simple to operate and very accurate. Gas mileage is slightly better than my 2012. I get around 18 average and 20-21 HWY. You can buy a SUV today that is more like a car ride but I prefer the truck feel , sitting up high and my 20 inch wheels look fantastic. It also has a solid feel. Great for carting kids or doing some lite off road. ( I will not take my baby anywhere it will get scratched!) lol. Overall a very nice truck and looks classy and sharp . One thing if I had one request is that I wish it had apple car play. I like not having all that other crap that brakes your vehicle and other intrusive devices! so I like simple . If you like simple this is your truck!. By the way if you like big controls this is it because other trucks have little controls and you cannot use them in the winter when you have gloves on. I also like that this truck is built in JAPAN. The quality shows and the tolerances in workmanship are very good.

I bought the 2019 ORP Dec 23, 2019. I had lots of incentives and discounts as this, as this was pre-covid and the dealer had 20 4Runners on the lot. It had the simple options that I wanted-reliability, roomy, off road capability, towing. Also, since Covid and vehicle shortages, its redale value has climbed crazily. Its mostly used for pleasure and commuting. Wife loves it. I didn't want auto opening tailgate, blindspot monitors or the other systems, as I researched this vehicle beforehand and knew what I wanted. I also test drove 3 trim levels before I bought, so I don't understand why some people give the 4Runner bad reviews for not having the options they should have known were not offered, or for ride comfort. It drives solid and the optional KDSS suspension smoothes the ride. Aside from a few trails, east coat beaches and mudpits, my 4Runner stays mostly on pavement. The crawl mode and the 4WD settings are fun to play with on the beach and mud and never left me stranded. I replaced the stock Bridgestone tires at 15k. They were garbage, cupping, constantly out of balance, and rough riding. New Michelin Defender M&S did the trick and improved the ride significantly. Now at 25k, my garage tech noticed the front axle boot leaking grease and suggested I take it back to the dealer and have it fixed under warranty. The dealer replaced the whole axle and boots under the powertrain warranty and I admit it rides smoother after that work. People complement the styling, interior and ride. Also the retractable rear window is great and draws thumbs up from others. MPG avgs about 18 combined. I got 22 mpg once on an all highway trip. I've owned 2 Chevy S10 Blazers before this and the 4 Runner has more capability and a better ride. I'm 6'2" and 240 and the 4Runner has plenty of headroom, seat comfort and legroom for me and my over age 50 friends. I hope the leaking boot and axle replacement was an anomaly, and further issues don’t arise, as I really like this vehicle and plan to keep it for a long time. Update 9/23- vehicle keeps running smooth and strong with no issues. Recent east coast heat wave is brutal but the 4Runner is running cool and the AC is cold. Update 9/7/2024- at 40k miles, I noticed some pulsation in the brake pedal and took it in for a checkup. Guess what? The master cylinder /modulator was kaput. Parts seemed to be on the shelf but getting the OK to replace under the 3rd party warranty from Toyota took over 7 days. I was pretty peeved. It was replaced and works great but- so far I’ve replaced the front axle for leaky boots and now the brake master cylinder unit. I still like this vehicle but am getting wary of the long term quality. Update 2/17/24- my 4Runner is performing fine. Over 5 yrs of ownership and am satisfied with the vehicle. My local dealer wants to buy it back offering me a low finance rate on a new one. Guess what? The new 4Runners are all 4cyl turbos which I don’t want. Plus the new 4 cyl turbos are maybe 1-2 mpg better than my V6. Not a big deal to me. 2 Coworkers also offered to buy it. I think I’ll keep it seeing its in perfect shape and is in high demand.

I purchased my 4runner TRD Pro about a month ago. I went for the pro because I wanted to enhanced suspension system and not KDSS. I also wanted the skid plates. Yes, it drives like a truck but I don't mind it one bit. I like sitting up high and the suspension can handle city pot holes and the like with ease. It's not going to take sharp corners gracefully but I drive cautiously on pavement so it doesn't bother me. It is a joy to take off road. It gives you complete confidence and lets you have fun. It is 100% built in Japan and it feels and looks like it. It exudes toughness and quality. It is pricey but the money goes into build quality and not tech gadgets or luxury comforts. I like that you have to put the key in to start it. My previous car had push start and I wasn't all that impressed by it. I'm glad other drivers have safety tech but I don't want it. The 2020 has Toyota's safety tech package minus the blind spot assist feature which is the only feature I would have wanted. I bought some of those little round blind spot mirrors. They work great and were only $5. Gas mileage is what it is. The price you pay for driving a truck like this. The 2019 4runner does not have Apple play, Android auto etc and the screen is smaller than the one on the 2020. I don't care about these things. The included Toyota navigation system is IMHO pretty great. Its better than the Garmin GPS I had in my previous car. The size of the screen doesn't make it hard for me to use the navigation or any other feature. I'd rather have the real estate for knobs, buttons, etc. I wasn't looking for a "digital car." I love, love, love the big knobs. So easy to adjust while you're moving. No fumbling around. After driving it on pavement and off road for a month I have no complaints. It is renown for it's reliability so I expect no problems in the future. My last car was a Highlander and it went 96,000 miles with no problems of any kind. The 4Runner is a tank. But that's exactly what I was looking for.
This was made for me

I love my 4runner. During the week, I am a buisness man. It meets all the needs of maintaining week day hustle but when the weekend comes it opens the doors to my true passion. I can go camping off road , tow a trailer for the quads or a boat with great ease. The only downside is the navigation system and its user friendliness. Overall I never get jelous when i see 80k-100k SUV becuase I got the right one for myself
