I'll be honest Man if it's a Diesel engine 4 cyl with a Turbo I'll say it'll still last quite long but unsure of how the gasoline would do. But I'm pretty sure it's reliable but not as reliable as NA but with that said, my friend has a Hilux 4 Cylinder Turbocharged. Still running even with 320k mileage. I say it's not as bad as people think. But let the results and future decide if I'm wrong or not Man. Hopefully it'll be the same for this 4 cylinder
I got a 2021 4Runner used last year. I put big tires on it and it’s great for some of the flooding issues we have in South Florida. I was tempted to put a supercharger on it, but I can hear the voice of Scotty telling me not to.😂

Why, Scotty? Why?? To meet the EPA's ever increasing CAFE fuel economy standards!! That's the only reason. EPA will imposes fines on every vehicle sold that doesn't meet the fuel economy standards, which increase every year. EPA is putting the squeeze on manufacturers year over year to force adoption of hybrids and then EVs. It's not Toyota's decision!!

Replacing a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder engine with an inline turbo 4 cylinder and saying you get the same fuel economy under real world driving conditions is like putting in $0.50 cents into a machine and magically getting back a dollar 😆. It's just not going to happen. On paper for CAFE numbers it works great but this is going to hurt the people that buy these things down the road. Will they last?? Sure. Will they last as long as a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder?? Nope.

Thank you Scotty. i have a 2020 Tundra crew cab and was going to trade it in at three years but saw that I could not get the V8 and decided I will just keep mine until it hits 1m miles.

When they put a 4 cyl turbo in the Land Cruiser, the 4Runner had no chance of not having one. I bought a 2023 4Runner last April when I retired for this very reason. It is my wife's daily driver and when she gets tired of it, it'll be my second (play) vehicle next to my 2020 Tundra with the V-8.
Bought a used 2018 last year. V6 has plenty of power. I like the body style that looks like an older SUV. Fuel mileage is around 20mpg.

I was getting the oil changed recently and the salesman asked me if I’d be interested in trading it on on a 2024 and I said no way ! I wouldn’t have bought this highlander if it would’ve had the 2.5 liter turbo . He said oh they have more power and they’ll surprise you .

I have to say that the 2005 4-Runner that I used to have was probably my favorite vehicle that I've ever owned! I would have kept it for a lot longer except that I discovered the frame had rot holes and the transmission cooling line rotted a hole in it by 2015. I traded it in with only 75K miles for a Rav-4 since the new 4-Runners that year were much larger and I really didn't meed more space. It had a 6 cylinder with a lot of power! I'd get a kick out of stopping at a light with some kid next to me in a little, small sh^i box revving up like he was gonna leave me in the dust. The light turns green, and without hardly any effort he was way back there loud and getting farther behind! 😅
For towing in the smaller trucks, Hybrid AWD could make up for the turbo, but there's really no substitute for a V8 in a Tundra unless they did a supercharged V6. I don't think I've ever seen true 4WD combined with Hybrid AWD before though.
If it ain't broke don't fix it. My 2014 4Runner gets 20mpg. Bulletproof, will drive it anywhere anytime
We bought a 2015 4 runner Trail premium new. Has 100k on it no problems. we surprisingly get 26MPG on the highway. Probably wouldn't have bought it if I knew it had the cartridge filter. I do most of the maintenance myself like brakes tune ups oil changes. I changed the oil 2x second time got the wrench stuck on the end of the plastic filter cover. Went the dealer for a recall congratulated them for making the first vehicle that I refuse to work on. Thought about buying the adapter you had a video on but also needed a different skid plate for clearence and would be about $500. Know have a friend who owns a garage change the oil.
Great video. But many "automotive journalists" expect the 2025 4Runner to have the same 4 cylinder options as the 2024 Tacoma (with and without hybrid).
I have a 06 4Runner for a winter vehicle and it looks new. Never any issues. Great vehicle.🙏
Was gonna wait for a 2025 4runner but guess not, thanks Scotty, I'll get a 2021.

Don't mind the filter, but taking the skidplate off to access it is a royal pita$$. A simple access panel like at the drain plug would have been nice.
Unfortunately I don't think the car industry will ever be going back to these cars that could run forever, its just way more profitable for them to make cars that die every 5 years or so and you have the replace them. Just like what Apple does with the iPhone.

The prices are crazy, I've bough a 2017 TRD Pro Tacoma brand new, the cement color one, at the time I paid 40k even out the door, I remember a PRO 4Runner was around what you paid for your base SR5, that's just wild. Nothing has changed in 2024 models over the past 7 years to justify $10K. They got heated steering wheels now and power seats, thats doesn't cost 10 grand even with inflation.
My 4 runner is an 18... Love it...... Not to mention the 6th gen Runner they're eliminating the power rear window.. that's the staple of 4Runnee... I'm pissed at that
I love my 4runner never will sell it. Its a baby 32k miles.
They should make them v8 instead.😅 the TRD 4runner is going to be my next vehicle when the time comes to replace my ultra reliable 07 Honda pilot.
Imagine Scotty waving his hands around while holding those gymnastic ribbons!🤔🤔😁
I bought a brand new 2022 4Runner. Paid ii off early. I bought it specifically because I knew Toyota was gonna go with the Turbo on the 6th gen. Eventually illl have to cave and get the new crappy government mandated vehicles. But it will be 20-25 years before I do😂

Hi Scotty, loved all your videos, What do you think of high mileage Toyota land cruiser 200 series V8 and put supercharger in it?
My neighbor has a 2021 & bought it new. Don’t know the miles but he’s had zero issues.
I bought a used low-mileage 2012 RAV 4, V6, 4wd, and I LOVE it! I drive it like a truck....as my daily driver...to occasionally tow a 2,500 lb. trailer...to pull up a couple tree stumps...and to pass with authority on the highway. When I'm not towing, it averages 21-22 mpg, which, for its multipurpose capability, is fine with me. The ONLY thing I don't like about it is that stupid oil filter canister! It's messy and a significant waste of time every oil change!
The 3.0 liter V-6 in the early 4Runners were infamous for blown head gaskets. Mine went at 60k miles. The EFI shorted out the same year. The 3.4 liter in my 97 Tacoma was a big improvement. I wish you could still get a normally aspirated 4cyl regular cab Tacoma with a Manuel. That is a setup that would last.

I don't know about that but if the engine is a 4 cylinder it needs a bigger displacement (if I'm not mistaken to get mo powwa) without the need of Turbo. NA cars tend to be slow overtime imo.
I’m obsessed with my 40th Anniversary 2023 Black Fire Breathing Dragon…Best purchase of my life
I had one a 2022 TRD Off Road Premium in Lunar Rock. I bought it in October 2021. I was doing Uber/Lyft and couldn’t afford the 12mpg with $3.86/gallon gas prices. I just (27Jan2024) bought a Tacoma V6 TRD Off Road Access Cab because I don’t need the back seat room and like the aesthetic better and the 2024 Tacoma is going back to the Xtra Cab. If I buy another SUV it’ll be a Lexus GX 460 since it will be gently used unlike a 4Runner.
A 2021 is not affordable. I used to buy 5yr old cars. I can't afford them anymore. Now I just want to pay cash and be done with it.

Was hoping they would Enhance the 4Runner current V6 with a hybrid model. They did BUT, its in the Lexus TX 550h. 30mpg with a Combined 404hp & 33 miles EV capability for short trips.

The way things are going they are going from V-8s to twin turbo or hybrid V-6s, then to turbo fours. I figure soon they will go from turbo fours to twin turbo threes with astronomical boost. Blown head gaskets and burning oil before 50,000 miles will be the standard.
I gave up with small cars and have bought a Lexus rx450 h with 3.5 v6. Proven reliability and quality. I have accepted the mpg, but find it manageable.

I have been waiting for 4 years for the redesign 4Runner I’m going for it I waited to long. Plus with all the modern upgrades I want.
the buggers have just done the same in Oz with our beloved 70 series was a 6cyl diesel then upgraded to a v8 diesel fantastic and now have decided to put the hilux 4cyl in it I'll give it 12months and the phase will be gone fingers 3:47 crossed anyway
Just bought a 2019 Highlander with the 3.5 naturally aspirated V6. Not interested in turbo.
Igloo at it like this! If u know u will be hauling here and there sure get the 6, but if u gonna travel and commute like normal by all means get the new one, the newer stuff is made for more efficiency though a lil slight it polutes less!
Scrapping the V6 in the Camry is a huge mistake. The 4 in those aren't a turbo and they're dump slow. Less reliable all in the name of fuel and environment
2000 3rd Gen Limited 4x4 with E-locker. Will never get rid of it.

I wish I had gotten a 1996 4x4 4cylinder Manual 4Runner back in college instead of my 1996 Honda Accord manual (good car nonetheless). I would still have that vehicle I bet.
I wish the 4Runner was offered with the Toyota/Lexus 5.7 V8. That would make it the best SUV of all time.
Scotty you are the best.💪 Greetings frm Poland.👍
Bought a 2022 TRD Off Road premium at the end of 2023. Love it wish i coulda bought it new, but itl last and I know it.

The crappy EPA is driving fuel economy increase so we get stuck with four banger underpowered vehicles ☹️
500K, 600K, 700K. Now I need to know what’s the highest mileage Scotty ever saw on a vehicle.

I wanna know how much he charges to change the spark plugs on that Toyota V6 engine he loves so much. I was going to change them routinely on the Avalon my wife had years ago, but when I learned how much work was involved I decided to wait until it was absolutely necessary. Turned out that they lasted forever, but I still hate that they made it so difficult when it finally does have to be done. (Pretty good engine otherwise.)

@@ArcoZakus Scotty has actually mentioned multiple times he recommends 4 cyl on Toyota sedans because spark plugs are easy to change unlike the V6. I know the Avalon is V6 only but yeah that's the price to pay

@@Argedis , Yes, I have seen those videos and agree. The second generation Camry my wife drove for 17 years was great to maintain (DIY), but underpowered for its weight by US standards. All the cars I have owned have had four cylinder engines so I didn't mind that part, but she had owned big American cars with V8s before that so that was her biggest complaint about that Camry. She loved how it looked, how comfortably it rode, and did not mind the mushy handling, which was my least favorite thing about it. i was impressed with the design, quality of materials and manufacturing, and ease of maintenance. By the time it needed to be replaced she really wanted something roomier with MOAR POWER. The later generations of Camrys had gotten a more powerful inline four cylinder engine and more interior space, but less attractive interior materials so as to not intrude into the more recently introduced Lexus's space. In true Scotty Kilmer fashion we found a used Avalon that was a better buy than comparable Lexus models that met her demands for luxury, space, and performance. The Avalon was not bad looking, either IMO. Similar trade-offs between comfort vs. handling as the Camry, but much roomier inside while not too much larger outside. Also much better acceleration than the older Camry.
I'd love to see Scotty review the Fast & Furious franchise movie scenes...about how realistic they are.
The 4Runnner is the best 👌 👍 Unfortunately the MPG'S are really 👎 bad. 😮

@Freemasonshair 4Runner is the best! I never go off-road in the Highlander. Sport mode improves the 8 spd a lot.
2021 TRD Pro here,, I love it.
I pick up my 2021 4runner next week. Tired of driving junk
I'm in the market for one now, im just debating on westher to buy now or wait!
I bought the adapter that allows cartridge filters. Should i install it?
My wife has one. I do an oil change once a year before the inspection. Zero issues. She loves it.
Thanks Scotty for increasing the value of my 23 TRD Pro 4Runner Solar Octane. Even though, I will never sell it.
Scotty is right in the money as always!!! Toyota lost the hardcore 4X4 crowd years ago, the 6th Gen will be even worse. Give us the 70 Series Toyota!!!!
