New 4Runner, and KURT IS BACK? What a day

I’m in love with the color ❤

First and foremost, I am a big fun of you guys. I was looking forward to hear your thoughts on the 6th generation and can't wait to see talking the new generation out to explore the wilderness. Again, love..love your show.

Thanks! Tough to give a lot of thought before we get to drive it. If it drives anything like the Trailhunter Tacoma, it's going to be a beast with a lot of power. We're excited to see what it's capable of for sure!

Looks awesome. I like that it’s sharing a platform with the new LC as well, that’s a good sign that Toyota is confident in it. Gonna be lots of cool interchangeable aftermarket parts coming.

The 5th gen was based on a landcruiser as well

Great detailed info about the 6th Gen 4Runner that most other YT Influencers haven't mentioned. You all might have convinced me to buy the new 4Runner instead of the new LC 250. Thank you for producing this video!

Why is nobody mentioning the obvious which is the Land Cruiser is retro, the new 4Runner is not at all retro styled. Land Cruiser is is to compete with those who would buy a 4-door Wrangler or Bronco for the retro styling but want Toyota quality and brand image. Whereas, 4Runner is a more youthful spirit targeted vehicle.

Can't wait to see what you guys do with an lc250. I would love to see you using an lc250 for your next global expedition. Global product, easier spare parts availability.

Can't wait to see one in your fleet!!

Can’t wait to see XO Edition and the wrap

Nice 🎉 I'm excited for this

Long wait, well worth it! I think Toyota is knocking them out of the park. Sequoia awesome, new Tacoma great, LC beautiful, and now 4Runner. Especially the Trailhunter package.

My first time hearing these two talk, and am an immediate fan. The points and items they discuss are things the common person doesnt likely care about. Only true enthusiasts or thinkers talk about these things. Toyota obviously thought through these details, and it was worth the wait..(IMO)

I whole heartedly agree. Finally a review that was honest yet not a fan boy take. Plus I’m tired of hearing the complaints of the new 4 cylinder and the reluctance to change. Toyota had no choice but to do this due to emission requirements, and they def did their best to pay homage to previous gen’s which I appreciate

Kurt, Ryan, and Rachelle have probably forgotten more about Toyotas than most people ever know... Rachelle has taken the new Tacoma Trailhunter through some serious dunes and has the background of an accomplished off road racer. The comments about the difference between the Fox and Old Man Emu suspension are probably beyond many influencers. XO has experience with the i-Force Max hybrid in a Sequoia over probably 6,000 km off road in Africa, mostly towing a fuel trailer! Anyone that doesn't trust Toyota's hybrid reliability in these trucks isn't paying attention!

Great review ! Love this machine. Maybe one day…

Long overdue, that's for sure!

I would like to see XO back in Alaska but with new geard up TacomaTH and 4R TH ,that would make my day

Nice detailed review! I’m not finding any info on the rear air. Any additional vents for passengers?

Awesome new rig. So which would you choose: 250 Land Cruiser or 6th Gen 4Runner?

first question coming to my mind is: do we still need to chop front body to frame mount for bigger tires?, second - which trims have full 4x4 drive with central differential? 5gen only limited and up models have it....

Such a beautiful color! I'm surprised that the 4Runner's been around 4 a while! Very cool and awesome car!

Do you live in an area where motor vehicles operate? ​@@delennfire1761

Do you think the 9.5" diff is just bc its hybrid max? Maybe that was the only version they showed the hybrid in, rather than being trailhunter-specific. Reason I ask is b/c 465 ftlbs of torque is 64 more than even the 5.7L Sequoia had. So thinking that might be why the big diff...

The engine bay looks like an alien nest.

That looks amazing. When will the last episode of your Africa expedition be up ?

Do we know how the 2400w inventor will work with the new 4Runner? I seen how it would work with the Tacoma. But a common scenario I could see would be pulling an off road camper that has solar/battery and needing additional power due to whatever reason to recharge the onboard power on camper. Would this be something the runner could supplement?

We love Cruiser Kurt!

Would the hybrid help in the snow? Great video, guys. Appreciate the info.

Loved this technical deep dive into this trim of the 2025 - thank you! Also think a lot less people are going to miss the gutless V6 granny engine then you think.

Does the LC250 or GX550 have the bigger pumpkin like the trailhunter?

i love it and it still looks like a 4runner

How much rear seat room is there vs a 5th gen 4runner?

nice review. luv the exterior and interior front. cargo area is a bit sad. cool on the built in air, but very sad it faces inward. how are you supposed to use it with drawers/fridge or any other cargo? would have loved mounts with accessory options instead of molded in cup holders for a missing 3rd row. get the raised bed, but unfortunate loss of height. still buying a standard engine offroad model after 3-4 year update that fixes some of the naggy stuff. really like 33's with no cutting!

I was wondering when the taco would get a factory bed cap. Cool

How did Toyota make the lower control arm level after a 2.5 inch lift kit?

I'm wondering if ARB is going to offer rear and front bumpers with the red recovery points like the Taco. Center console cool box availability and I do wish they would've figured out a way to have a completely flat rear area with the second row seats folded flat. It's still not perfectly flat like on my '06 Pathfinder. Also, I've yet to see anybody mention that hook that's below the grab handle on the passenger side that looks perfect for takeout bags to hang from. Also interested in color options. I do hope that desert tan color on the Pro will be available on the Trailhunter. It a perfect color for getting dirty.

Looks Epic now you Bring it to South Africa for some testing 😀alot still to see here .

Any info on how many CFM the onboard compressor moves???

I cant wait.... It might be like 3 years before I can get one due to markups and demand but I cant wait!

I have always liked the 4Runner. Currently am a Power Wagon owmer but this thing has some things i wish my truck had like additional aux switches and the on board air would be nice from the factory

Great the see Kurt! Should have let Kurt lead the discussion and have the others in the background.

DAMN that color looks good!! 😍

Is the hood scoop functional yet?

Is it better to have all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. Have seen videos but just still grasp it. Had an Audi which was Quarro which which 4 all wheel. I guess if you do mind off reading then may be you do not want an all wheel. Is my understanding correct can you trurn 4 wheel drive.

Looking forward to Toyota giving more information on the TRD Off-Road trim

5:12 through 5:17 made me unexpectedly lol

It's Kurt!

Still no MPG ratings on the iForce max engines?

I’m curious to see the sr5 trim, these higher trims are nice but I’d like to see the sr5 trim what features it’ll have and whatnot.

Can you tell us what trim version that one with the white roof and round headlights was? Or was that a Heritage Land Cruiser (it was just a quick look)?

@EchoAlpha

Ай бұрын

Yea that was LC. You can see it in other reviewers videos

Love if, want it. Is it coming to EU markets?

Can it accept a full roof rack? Or is there an option for one from the factory? When I have a canoe on my 5th gen it sits really far back as the center of the canoe is behind the center of the roof. Also, how are these four cylinders performing in high torque situations seeing that it's one power stroke per 180 degrees of rotation? I'd have to know the truth of that before considering a 4 cylinder. HP and torque numbers are nice, but am I reving the engine to 5000 rpm for the equal power output that a v6 could do at 3700rpm or a v8 could do at 2500rpm? Serious question here.

@dustinbono

Ай бұрын

Peak power and torque on these turbo vehicles are made at low rpms like 2500 rpm. Plus the hybrid options have instant torque. Just bc it's a 4 cylinder doesn't mean it's gotta be high in rpms to make power. Especially the hybrids.

guys im new to trucks can i leave the 4runner or tacoma at 4H al the time ?

Is that a water snorkel or just a dust snorkel?

That Everest color and bronze wheel combo is great though.

These would be great in South Africa!

Having the hybrid also eliminates the hassle of adding a house battery for us folks who have fridges and so on..😊. Lots of possibilities

I take the 5th

Admittedly, I'm old school. I over-landed from South Africa to the UK with a 1974 Land Rover a while back. So why, oh why, did Toyota add air-conditioned seats and a motorized rear tailgate to the 6th gen? Both are redundant added weight and a problem waiting to happen when they fail. I put them in the category of "unless luxe". On a positive note, love the look! Can anyone comment on the additional weight of the hybrid vs the non-hybrid? I couldn't find weight specs. I think I read that the hybrid battery pack is NiMH.....that can't be right???

Crawl control?

On the 5th gen limited my biggest complaint was 3rd row air conditioning outlets, none available. i watched many 6th gen reviews so far and i don't see them being added, here in Florida we need more air conditioning for the 3rd row seating.

Hello from LA!

Its very hard to not be bias as you guys working so closely to Toyota. I would prefer the 6 cylinder (the same 6 cylinder as the tundra) without a turbo and no hybrid over the 4 banger turbo hybrid. The battery eats up too much space.

@J.Young808

The Tundra is a turbo, they had wastegate problems on the first Tundras.

@healer81

Ай бұрын

@@J.Young808 I'd like to think they solved that problem and if they just used the 6 cylinder without the turbo it would distinguish itself from the gx and the land cruiser prado that should ideally have the 6 cylinder with a turbo which it does not. The 4 runner closed the gap between them and the bronco but the bronco still is a step or two above it. Especially since you can build a bronco with a v6.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Next Xoverland Trip Back to South Africa the Western Cape & Eastern Cape ,Enjoy some Rainbow Trout fishing in Lesotho Highlands .

Will it go 200,000+ miles with that 4 cylinder turbo charged engine. Highly unlikely. Can't spin something like a turbo at 150,000 rpm and expect it to last.

Dude, you and a 6th gen 4Runner were in my home town and no one told me?? ;-)
