I have a 97 Surf SSRX, which is basically a Japan only (right hand drive) 4Runner. I'm a Brit, living in the mountains of southern France. It's used 90% off road in very rugged country, 530,000 miles on it now, I've owned it 21 years. Sadly for the first time it needs real maintenance, a front wheel bearing failed so I'm replacing all joints, bearings and bushings on the chassis. Not sure I'll get another 500K out of it, someone may, but I'm into my mid 70's now.

@@piccalillipit9211this has happened with all cars. I own an auto repair shop and when it came time to pick a tow vehicle that can handle my family of 7 and an equally sized travel trailer I looked past all the modern offerings and picked up a 2004 Suburban 2500 with an 8.1. Yes Ive put some significant money into repairs and upgrades but I’m still vastly less money invested then buying anything from the last 10 years and have a more reliable, easier and cheaper vehicle to repair. That’s one reason the used car market has been strong the last few years, not only are new ones expensive but they have too many downsides compared to their previous generations. It’s sad to watch new tech and bloated features beat out good design, engineering and build quality. The manufacturer who figures out how to step back in time in that sense is going to make a killing, we’ll see if government regulations will allow it.

This is great. The tricky bit is when that period tails off and parts get quite hard to come by. By way of example: it used to be dead easy to get scrap bits for my 1997 Peugeot expert 10 or even 5 years ago, but it's falling off the back end of that now and some things (like rear door rubbers) are just unobtanium (and the design is not simple enough that generic rubbers will do the trick). There is definitely an optimum period for these things. Picking a long-lived design fairly early in the run helps a lot as there is a stream of vehicles 10-15 years newer than yours which get used and retired to keep you in bits for a good long time. Especially if they kept this thing the same for 15 years without even pointless facelifts that's about as good as it gets.

Hard to tell without dimensions, but that front nose looks WAY longer than older 4runners. Something I'm not a fan of for city driving or out in the boonies. Also might just be because of the ridiculous amount of snow we get here, but those bright-ass LED lights are useless for winter driving unless you want to impair your vision more than you're helping. It also sucks having a light burn out and being out $1600 for a headlight because they are sold as singular drop in units. I've broken a fair few headlights out in the woods, that's not a bill i'm looking for.

My "Ugh" list: #1: Toyota still building dumb fully boxed frames that will rust out super easily like all the 4Runners before it. #2: I understand that the push for a 4 cylinder turbo or hybrid is all about CAFE standards, but I really think we will regret the over-complexity that those two types of systems bring. A well-engineered smaller turbocharged gas engine pushing around a heavy truck may be well made, but it's not going to last as long as a well-engineered larger displacement engine. That being said, an 8 speed trans will really help the engine not have to work as hard. Maybe that will offset the smaller engine, in the same vane as how semi trucks haul so much weight with a relatively small engine. #3: I am sad that there's no manual option.

Heavy truck. Heavy is the operative word. Thin fully boxed high tensile steel is light in comparison...and used in utes (light pickups) The Nissan Navarra utes also had a fully boxed chassis...which was entirely galvanise dipped... Except there was a kick-up in the frame...a hump.....where the springs were located for the rear axle.. which when the entire frame was lowered into and immersed in the galv bath... caused a air pocket so 6 inches of the "hump" was not galvanised.. In a short time the Navarras folded when the unseen non-galv portions rusted out...from inside! All for the want of strategically drilled holes to let the trapped air out so the galv could flow in.. So I say again...anti rusting spray is the answer@@RyanWithAviators

The Titan shocks won't fit unless you also swap the spindle, in which case you might need a bracket lift. I've been meaning to confirm that. This is probably not a difficult problem to find cheap shocks with measurements and travel that matches. But if it's possible to Tundra swap, I'd be shocked, no pun intended, if the market doesn't have a plethora of options within the next few years. There are other things to consider, but I don't remember off the top of my head. * Or Pathfinder. Some of the Pathfinders came with the VK56 V8, and had the diff as well. Which reminds me you can also get parts off in Armada, or Infinity QX-whatever (80?). So don't forget the Sequoia when when checking junk yards. Which also reminds me, it's recommended to purchase dedicated parts, not use junkyard or even stock Titan parts. All of this just makes me want to try it for the hell of it, and experience firsthand how it actually rides and handles. Then I can always spin the big bucks later, and install dedicated parts. I don't mind the labor. I would love to do it, and to be good at it. It's just the time required that's a bitch.

Yes Ive put some significant money into repairs and upgrades but I’m still vastly less money invested then buying anything from the last 10 years and have a more reliable, easier and cheaper vehicle to repair. That’s one reason the used car market has been strong the last few years, not only are new ones expensive but they have too many downsides compared to their previous generations. It’s sad to watch new tech and bloated features beat out good design, engineering and build quality.

This is great. The tricky bit is when that period tails off and parts get quite hard to come by. By way of example: it used to be dead easy to get scrap bits for my 1997 Peugeot expert 10 or even 5 years ago, but it's falling off the back end of that now and some things (like rear door rubbers) are just unobtanium (and the design is not simple enough that generic rubbers will do the trick). There is definitely an optimum period for these things. Picking a long-lived design fairly early in the run helps a lot as there is a stream of vehicles 10-15 years newer than yours which get used and retired to keep you in bits for a good long time. Especially if they kept this thing the same for 15 years without even pointless facelifts that's about as good as it gets.
Hard to tell without dimensions, but that front nose looks WAY longer than older 4runners. Something I'm not a fan of for city driving or out in the boonies. Also might just be because of the ridiculous amount of snow we get here, but those bright-ass LED lights are useless for winter driving unless you want to impair your vision more than you're helping. It also sucks having a light burn out and being out $1600 for a headlight because they are sold as singular drop in units. I've broken a fair few headlights out in the woods, that's not a bill i'm looking for.

This is easily the best a colab could get. Only made possible because Toyota makes fantastic cars and trucks and sells them dor a reasonable price. I hope they make a spiffy new high end hybrid soon to combat all the electric stuff.
My "Ugh" list: #1: Toyota still building dumb fully boxed frames that will rust out super easily like all the 4Runners before it. #2: I understand that the push for a 4 cylinder turbo or hybrid is all about CAFE standards, but I really think we will regret the over-complexity that those two types of systems bring. A well-engineered smaller turbocharged gas engine pushing around a heavy truck may be well made, but it's not going to last as long as a well-engineered larger displacement engine. That being said, an 8 speed trans will really help the engine not have to work as hard. Maybe that will offset the smaller engine, in the same vane as how semi trucks haul so much weight with a relatively small engine. #3: I am sad that there's no manual option.

Except there was a kick-up in the frame...a hump.....where the springs were located for the rear axle.. which when the entire frame was lowered into and immersed in the galv bath... caused a air pocket so 6 inches of the "hump" was not galvanised.. In a short time the Navarras folded when the unseen non-galv portions rusted out...from inside! All for the want of strategically drilled holes to let the trapped air out so the galv could flow in..

I bought a 2021 Tacoma TRD Off Road back in late '20 and have been 100% satisfied with it. When I moved to Tennessee last year I overloaded the truck and towed an overloaded trailer 2200 miles with zero issues. the mileage was cut in half, but oh well, you can't have everything. Since then I have basically been using it as a tractor on the farm. Not the ideal use for it, but until I can raise the $ for a real tractor, it will have to do.
Best video on the new 4runner.
I'm so glad they didn't do a light bar in the back, like they did with the Sequoia. The Sequoia should have had those epic vertical tail lights like the Tundra. This new 4Runner is not bad at all. I wanted a 5th gen so bad until I drove one. It was pure dogwater 😂 The new Toyota trucks having turbo engines is an absolute MUST, but they also seemed to have nailed the styling on every truck too! The Nimh battery also is great for replacement cost & reliability. Hopefully their new truck hybrid systems prove themselves. 🤞 If you get a new 6th gen 4Runner, especially the hybrid, I will certainly keep watching your videos! Thanks for reading my novel. 👍
i LOVE the design of the new land cruiser. i really hope this design language makes its way to the smaller cars like the yaris.
The big question is articulation. Tinkerer's Adventure has a video on how much more flex the previous gen Tundra has in the frame. So is this complication of having the sway bar disconnect electricaly to make up the difference, or actually better basically
We the 2nd gen xterra guys have had a titan swap option - we can basically change over much of the suspension, front dif, cvs and even the engine feom.the titan over to the xterra (and frontier). Good thing the 4runner guys now can do the same with tundra swap. Pretty sure the travel numbers on stock versions are still atrotious, so tundra swapping option will be a lot of help
I have a 2020 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid LE. Its been a fun, cheap and reliable truck. Payed it off in 3 years nice and easy. But I'm definitely jumping on this as soon as it releases this fall.

But now that its a in line 4, 8 speed transmission with a hybrid with no batteries? You better believe I'm gonna pre order that shit if I can. Plus the packages are nuts from what Im seeing online.

I own 3 different tops for my truck and they all serve a purpose, one of which is a short canopy that acts like a cab cap where the back seats fold forward and flat then I used a spare tailgate window and regulator so I have a power roll down back window like the tundra and with a bed extender my motorcycke fits perfectly. Or just doing random truck stuff like getting wood, dirt or taking garbage away its nice having that option. But the convertible will always be my favorite part of my truck and what I use the most.

I'll be curious whether the battery pack on the hybrid will be useful as a power source for camping/overlanding.

Which reminds me you can also get parts off in Armada, or Infinity QX-whatever (80?). So don't forget the Sequoia when when checking junk yards. Which also reminds me, it's recommended to purchase dedicated parts, not use junkyard or even stock Titan parts. All of this just makes me want to try it for the hell of it, and experience firsthand how it actually rides and handles. Then I can always spin the big bucks later, and install dedicated parts. I don't mind the labor. I would love to do it, and to be good at it. It's just the time required that's a bitch.
Looks good
"People don't want simple..." Me: side eyes the 25 yr old car I just bought because it has so little complexity. "Uh, Matt..." All hail the algorithm.
Oh boy, if only I lived in a country with nice cars for sale, or with salaries to actually but them. Guess we will be happy with lawn mower powered 1.3 corollas
We need an aussi review like this...
I think mine was a 2004. Check Engine Code said Catalytic converter even after the converter was replaced. Then it said O2 sensor even after both upstream and down steam sensors were replaced. Every mechanic who looked at it came up with a different diagnosis but none could seem to fix it. Traded it in and the dealer prompltly advertised it for sale as "As Is"
0:50 I feel exactly the same way about my Prado.

Like you're standing up in a canoe?
For 2X4's, there is a roof rack, and there is a trailer hitch. Your touch screen will thank you for using them.
I'm looking forward to a Toyota Land Cruiser video from you. Hopefully you'll get the good food and room.
Is the new Land Cruiser the same as the aussie one?
Nice Superfast Toyota ad 👍
6:30 the one with round headlights is real cute, i like it
Have they fixed the seating position and headroom issues from the 3rd and 4th gen 4Runners?

It's improved.
Work Vans should copy most of that front interior with all the pockets for stuff and my favorite part is the Aux switches they have.
