This has been a solid SUV for everything my family has needed for it. MPG and tech could be the only downside(camera quality) but it is 4x4 with an engine built to last and has the attitude that it can handle anything you put it through.It’s family daily, road tripper, camp hauler. Fun to drive,Quality feel, drives smooth , enough pickup for me, probably could use a little more power but i feel it’s enough for this outgoing model. Wait for 2025 version for better performance but the introduction of a turbo. All in all LOVE this SUV and highly recommend for anyone who needs a swiss army knife of a vehicle.

I’ve researched this vehicle for a couple of years and finally bought one. Dependable and robust. Engine is noisy until it warms fully up. Make sure you rust proof the frame because that seems to be a major weakness. I went with fluid film. Comfortable on long trips though not the most fuel efficient and you definitely won’t be racing in it. Stick to the speed limit and you will do fine with a quieter ride and saving gas. Wish there were more places to store small stuff inside but that will probablycome with the update. I like the engine and its simplicity, no turbos or intercoolers to increase maintenance cost. Makes most of do-it-yourself repairs very easy. Apple CarPlay only works with a cable but regular Bluetooth works fine. I do miss the motorized tailgate from my Venza but love being able to lower the rear window.

I own a 2023 4Runner and a 2018 Highlander The 4runner is very solid, and the suspension and body build quality is far better than any other SUV. If you ride it, you will admit it too. It is a bit difficult at high speed driving. However, it is at its best at low and medium speeds. Infotainment is very simple but very easy to use. If you want a truck, a regular SUV, and something unique, 4RUNNER is it. Fuel economy is not bad compared to the Highlander. No need to worry. It's old, but better than any new crossover SUV. Exterior, engine, body build quality. I think it will continue to be the best in the future. Even if the generation of the 4runner changes... The 4runner is different from other SUVs in that only the exterior is gorgeous. The feeling is powerful.

Stepping into the 21st Century

It’s going to be a bit hard to give an objective review because it is the end of 2023 and this vehicle is a night and day difference from what I have been driving. Let’s put it this way, when the salesman asked what I am currently driving, my answer was, “Let’s put it this way, it has a cassette deck in it.” That response let him know immediately that I would need a bit of education on new vehicles. Needless to say, I like just about everything in my new 4Runner. The primary thing I like about my 4Runner is that it is in its 15th year of production for this 5th generation vehicle, and it has a reputation for longevity like nothing else I have found. Couple that with the fact that it is made in Tahara, Japan by many Takumi (Master Craftsmen that have at least 60,000 hours of experience) This is the same factory that produces Lexus vehicles so essentially, I am getting Lexus quality at a Toyota price. Another positive point is that the 4Runner has a tremendous following, so I have plenty of YouTube videos on every aspect of the vehicle as well as a multitude of vendors selling upgrades and modifications to make these vehicles even better and more customized to each owner. A couple minor points that would make it a solid 10/10. 1. The Android Auto is not wireless. That is easily remedied with a $35 box that I purchased from Amazon.com, but it still plugs into the only USB-A port on the main console. I was however able to install a dual USB port into the cigarette lighter receptacle to give more USB options on the main console. 2. Availability of the entire color lineup among all the 4Runner models. I purchased the Limited version because it was the only model with All-Wheel Drive but it was not offered in a couple of the colors that I would have preferred over the color I purchased.

There's nothing to not like about this vehicle other than (maybe for some people) there not being automatic headlights. However, I grew up without auto headlights, so it's really not that big of a deal. The seats are comfortable. The ride is smoothe. I'm not disappointed in the least bit.
