I'm liking your videos. I am looking at a 2003 sport edition v8 4wd with 140k miles and it is a 1 owner, however it is out of state and a 6 hour drive. My concern is hidden rust b/c it's lived in New Jersey its whole life. In your opinion, are the rust stories worth being crazy concerned about?

My early-mid 2000's Ford F-150 was the tits. Black with a matching cap I black tinted also. Bought an air mattress at Walmart one night...perfect fit! That was my summer slam truck. A cop pulled up one time as I was parked behind some store and poked around. He just kept smirking while we tried to put our shoes and stuff back on and the last thing he said after he told us to enjoy our evening was, where'd I get that mattress, and what size was it. He had the same truck lol. I'm assuming it was a twin, but it fit like a glove! I even used it when I worked nights and had a break. A nice nap in the middle of my shift!? Yes please, you got any overtime??

I have a 2006 4R 4.7 V-8 with only 122,000 miles. It is senior driven with never smoke, kids, pets, etc. in the vehicle. I've never waxed it, but the paint job looks as good as new. It has never been wrecked, towed or abused in any way. There has been only one unscheduled repair, a seeping thermostat housing, with 0 down time other than this minor repair. I've spent less than $3,000 over 14 years for the usual stuff: Struts, brakes, rotors, plugs, timing belt, water pump, power steering flush, transmission fluid change and coolant flush when scheduled. Of course there has been the usual gas, oil, tires, & battery. My mechanic states that the vehicle is better and easier to work on than brand new, and lusts after that V-8. I've owned dozens of vehicles, including fleet vehicles, but none has even come close to this thing. I will keep it until one of us dies, and I wouldn't bet against this 4R.

We owned one of these 4th gen and bought it brand new. The smell of the brand new plastic was so strong that it lasted over a year and a half. This was a real smooth riding vehicle and going on long rides is what this 4th gen loves to do. When we traded it in 10 years later the only trouble we had was a relay for the air conditioner. Your black 4th gen looks fantastic thanks for putting this up.

I've owned a 98 SR5, 02 Sport, 06 Limited V8 , 07 Sport, and 19 TRD Off Road Premium. Not necessarily in that order. These are great trucks and hold their resale well. The "secret compartment" in the 4th gens are basically for the owners manual folder , as it fits in there perfectly. I use the fold out front part of the center armrest for burgers when Im on the go. Don't forget about the main 4th Gen feature: RELIABILITY.

I drive plow trucks in CT USA and we often have to sleep in our cars or wherever during long storms. The front seat fold down feature is so freaking awesome! It turns your car into a big sectional couch of sorts. Also hidden glove compartment is perfect for pistol storage

thought I knew everything about my 4Runner, but I did not know about rolling the rear window back UP ( I always rolled up from the inside), the trash holder, or the fully reclining front seat! thank you, the trash alone is gonna be great for road trips!

Didn't know about the sear folding back level that's pretty cool. I love my 4runner. Most reliable car I have ever owned.

I also love being able to program all of my gate/garage door openers into the rear-view mirror console. No more fumbling through the center console. Then there's the fact that the rear area with the back seats folded down flat leaves a footprint that matches a "full size" mattress (except for the wheel wells); a futon mattress fits perfectly for bringing the girl camping, and folds nicely back into the rear section. leaving the back seats for gear and food. ....sorry, I meant beer and food.

“THIS....is not a Doug DeMuro video.” 😂😂

This is basically Canadian car asmr and I love it. Instant sub

I found that extra glove box second day cleaning and found the original monroney tag in it. My 4runner was originally priced at $56k in 2004. I'm the third owner and it makes me wonder if owner two ever found it?

Also a cool thing is you can leave your headlights on when you shut the 4runner off, and they will remain on for about 30 seconds in case you need light after getting out. In addition, you can double tap the "lock" button on your key fob to turn them off before the 30 seconds is up.

And to think I was going to install a porta potty in the rear seat, Nothing doing now that I found out all these clever Canadian uses & options these Suvs have to offer. Makes me wanna go take a poop right now👍

Nice video!! Although I knew all of these because I read my owner's manual(lol) I thought I'd add a few more if you don't mind. Spare keys, buy a blank with a program chip in it from eBay for approx. 10-15 bucks. You can look up youtube videos on how to program it yourself for free, get the key cut for another 3 to 5 bucks and you have a spare key for under $20. I own a 2005 4Runner and it does not have a switch to turn off traction control. Do yourself a favor and buy the 2006 or newer model so you can turn off traction control when necessary. I own the V6 4.0L which I wanted moreso than the V8 for several reasons; 1) the V6 has a timing chain and the V8 has a belt that needs to be changed 2) the V8 only has minimal amount of horsepower(270) over the V6(245) and gets worse gas mileage. I find the V6 to be very powerful and I run Toyo MTs 255/75/17 for digging in the snow and mud. Doesn't ride bad on pavement. I can program all of my windows to go up or down at the same time. The 2005 model V6 has the easiest oil filter change out in the world and changing your oil with this vehicle takes only minutes, and my 2005 4Runner is a better rig in the mountains for 4x4ing than my 2008 200 series Land Cruiser because it is lighter than the Land Cruiser, has a narrower body and lower center of gravity, and has .2 inches more ground clearance. I've got 200k miles on my 2005 4runner and it's still kicking!!!

My uncle in Canada has the same suv from 2006 in silver with a v6 completely stocked and I have seen some of these hidden features too.

I used to love my folding seats for a nap in the winter on my midnight lunch brake. 45 min naps where awesome!!! kept me going till 4am shift change.

the "burger tray" also does not have to be pushed down when sliding it back into itself. It folds down automatically.

Great SUV. One of the best made imo. I like the new model, but its not comparable to this gen.

When I bought my 3rd gen I went to open the rear window with the key and it didn't work. It only locks/unlocks the hatch. On my 1st and 2nd gens thats all the rear lock cyl was for. Made sense because the glass had to be down to open the tailgate. I'd like to know why they decided to ditch the tailgate and go with the lifting hatch after gen 2. It was one of my fav features, you could use it more like a truck. Maybe it had something to do with the license plate not being visible if you drove with the tailgate down.

I bought the 2006 4Runner Sport Edition, new in 2006, in the U.S. garage kept and only drove on the weekends. In 2014 I shipped my 4Runner and moved to Costa Rica, with only 20,000 original miles. From 2014 to 2020, I have only spent about $1,000.00. New tires, New battery, synthetic oil changes and brake work. I have lived and owned vehicles from around the world. The 4Runner is the best purchase I have ever made. Rides like a sedan and truck. In Costa Rica I drive it on beaches and off road throughout Costa Rica. People in Costa Rica consider the 4Runner a luxury vehicle, more so than a BMW or Mercedes. Because of that, 4Runners cost twice as much in Costa Rica, than in the U.S. or Canada!

very neat overland suv/truck. This baby is already a classic, especially the 4.7 V8.

Your vid showed up as I have been looking at 4runners and this was VERY entertaining and quite informative.

I have a v8, galactic grey, lifted 4th gen 4runner, on duratracs as well...... It was weird to find you because I was looking at battery box installs.... AND I knew all the tricks here except the front seats becoming a bed. That's super cool! 👌 😎

You also lose35 hp running 87 octane and it also corrodes the Vvt Actuator

Maybe only 5 hp and 15 lbs.-ft. at most. Not very noticeable, but still....

You must know when our poop cycles are 😂😂😂

Bravo sir on the video! Did not know about the reclining seats, the secret compartment and ignition. Thank you!

Great vid, looking for a 4 runner like this. 🤟

Upgrade to the 4th gen and you can hide a pistol in the glove box.

Dillon Hawkins yep, i see a lot of folks stashing theirs in the tissue box holder as well.

How did he know I was taking a dump 😦😂

Man I love your build! It's so simple but so perfect!!

I'm trying to grow my own automotive channel. I've been reading your blog, I think your tips are exactly what I needed to hear. I thought I'd better check out the video you kept mentioning haha. The comments here are hilarious! Shout out from the other side of Canada 😂

Nice. I’m taking that dump at home watching. Thanks

Thanks for the Octane validation.

I think the soft close on the tailgate was not a standard option. I ran across a couple that did not have that. I have the V6 SR5 model. Also, the tissue holder in the middle compartment doesn’t fit all tissue boxes. I’m actually struggling to find one that will fit. I haven’t tried nitrile gloves boxes though. That’d be pretty handy. In my 4Runner, there’s an extra power socket inside the middle storage compartment. I also like the one by the tailgate although I really don’t use it.

That’s my dream vehicle

You have good taste

I had on o4 sport. I love the grill color and the matching v8 badge. Burgers only.

Never seen one of your videos before... but with all the quick wit alone, I’ve subscribed after seeing this video! :)

Cool features, Im shopping for a 4th gen. Was planning on building a sleep platform in the back but maybe the folded seat with an air mattress on top would do the trick.

Seats reclining to meet with the rear seat, level bed. Reminds me of my Rambler back in the early '60s. Dad's didn't want their daughters going out an a date if the Rambler was the means of transportation. My '62 also had separate AC/Heater controls for driver and passenger. Made it nice for your lady to be comfortable without you burning up. I do wish my Trail had that, it has everything else.
