If you want more tech, go for the limited. While I miss remote start, CarPlay and sensing features, I’ll gladly give it up for a bulletproof drivetrain, awesome ride, unbeatable off road capabilities, a traditional transfer case and of course, a solid body on frame construction. Resale is always amazing, I love the styling and it has a history that makes me feel like I can go anywhere and do anything confidently.

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.

Absolutely love this truck. Solid, Tough, Excellent Reliability, Roomy ( I’m a big guy ) Powerful Enough, Great Ride, Fantastic Ground Clearance and it’s looks AWESOME!! I did my research as others have and Toyota hasn’t changed much in the last Ten year because they haven’t had to. It’s that close to perfection. I opted for the 19 over the 20. Less safety features to go bad in the future. My road to my house is basically a two track and living in the U.P. of Michigan deep snow is a certainty. Snow mud ruts no problem. Just wash it and go. Every time I get into this unit I have ZERO worries or concerns can’t say that about any other truck or suv I’ve owned. After 8 months of ownership and going through a tough winter and a hot summer I’m happy to report ZERO issues and I’m just as happy with my 4Runner as I was the day I bought it. Just wish I would have purchased one sooner. Excellent SUV. I’ll update more as time passes. Update; After one year of ownership were still as happy with the 4Runner as the day we purchased it. Zero issues this is a tough as nails dependable issue free SUV. This year we've gone in places we should never have been by accident and this unit didn't even blink. Deep MUD for thousands of feet snow and more snow, ruts and steep sideways inclines not a problem. This thing is so solid and well made it may be my last SUV purchase. Does it have the nicest ride? NOPE. Does it have all the electronic bells and whistles? NOPE. Either does a tank.

I bought this to be an off-roader, not everyday commuter. It is exactly what I was looking for, a new vehicle with old school reliability built tough. It has been proven throughout the years and that's why it hasn't changed much. My only complaint is the halogen lights. This should have updated LED's. Everything else is simple and very effective. Update: Had it for over a year now and it still impresses me. Took it around Mojave, Victorville, and Borrego Springs. A lot of aftermarket off-road upgrades out there. Update: Over 2 years now and still love it. No issues, no regrets. I can see why Toyota has not updated this vehicle that much in over a decade. Already a gem. That is why I bought it. Update: Going on 4 years and still no complaints. Update: 5 years and no complaints. I had the fuel pump recall done and initially had some codes after installation. Dealer fixed the issue and is now perfect.

If my new TRD 4Runner had 100 horsepower, I’d be in heaven. Otherwise, it is a great ride. It’s a blend of old and new tech, which at almost 50, I welcome. I haven’t gotten it muddy yet, but that day is coming. Traded an ecoboost lariat f150, only thing I miss is the power, but not the problems. LOVE the slide down rear window like in the Tundra.
