I’ve owned my 2020 TRD Off-road (Canadian spec) for over a year. So far no problems. I love the reliability and durability of the vehicle. It rides like truck, so it doesn’t have the same road manners as most cars and unibody crossovers. It’s not a race car by any means. But none of that matters to me. It’s just a delight to drive. I never worry about it breaking down or developing software glitches like other SUVs. I also love the way it looks. I love the ride height. I even like the interior fit and finish, even though many people complain it’s looks dated.

Just got one of these last night. The engine purrs when you start her. The reliability is amazing from what I’ve heard. Going to keep her for a long time. The Tech isn’t the most advanced bug that’s not what it’s intended for. The off-road capability is better than ever.

I knew beforehand it wasn't perfect, so no surprise, but for our small family of 3, it's going to be great for our outdoor adventures for years to come. Gas mileage and power delivery are the only thing keeping it from being perfect. Oh yeah and lack of auto headlights is kind of annoying at this price point on the TRD off road premium. Still loving it!

@60k mikes update - everything I wrote previously still stands. I’ve done some mods like 2.75in lift (really eliminated the massive nose dive at stop sign). Now I’m only getting 18mpg top due to the lift, oh well. Couple minor complaints - deadman shake at 60mph…that’s just never goes away no mater what we did, realignment tire balance etc. apprently that’s known. Field of view is somewhat poor, maybe where I sit but ceiling feels low and cut on corners make it harder to see. Gas cap…no lock. Here than that it’s a solid truck. ********** I knew exactly what I was getting. Bought with 30k miles (former rental) baseline SR5 AWD with maintenance record. So far I drove 8k miles in 7 months and I’m happy with my choice. It’s a solid old school body on frame SUV. 2021 model has some modern-ish tech, which I didn’t really care too much. Toyota and most Japanese car companies are all behind on infotainment so don’t expect much. As far as driving, it’s a truck. It rolls and nose dives. That’s expected. It’s a big box sitting high with 12 years old engine with 5 speed transmission, it’s naturally thirsty. I have punched 22.1mpg on Highway but normally I get below 20mpg on daily drive. It really shines driving off-road and that’s the big selling point of this truck. We don’t have huge boulders or Forrest here, instead we just have muddy pit l, beach, and swap but it does really well with just some aggressive tires (if I were living in mountain or desert I would have spent another $4k to get a TRD) I’ve read lots of poor ratings from professional magazines and even disappointed owners, (any given time most dealership has one or two 4runner with low miles), but all those negative reviews could be avoided if they understood that this is an early 2000 technology truck. It will likely be around for good 10 more years because it’s simple, reliable, well built, and matainainable ride. If you just want an aggressive looking mall crowler then just buy any crossovers in the market and you will be happier. Because it met my expectations I am happy owner (& I choose this truck before everyone will be forced to drive EV…)

This is a full frame simple low tech vehicle that has bullet proof reliability. The Limited contrary to magazine reviews drives just fine. I didn’t want an 8-10 speed transmission that would cost 4K to rebuild. I removed the front skid plates due to weight and as far off road we go is a Walmart parking lot. With a K&N air filter and keeping tires at 37lb we can get 22.5 mpg. We are retired and don’t drive that much so this is fine. I wouldn’t use it as a daily commuter. Just a good old solid vehicle.
