I wanted to love the LandCruiser, but then I drove it. There was just something about the way it drove that I didn’t like. It felt heavy and the wind noise with the upright windscreen was worse. I ended up waiting for the 4Runner since that‘s what I always drove and haven’t regretted sticking...

Just came here for the BMW X5/4Runner comparison. That I can honestly say is two vehicles that most 4Runner owners don’t cross shop. I’m glad you’re happy with your decision though.

Beautiful drive, but I’m not taking my 4Runner on the dragon. My Miata on the other hand? It’s a bucket list item for me and my MX5. If I ever get an Audi RS3 or or a Porsche 718 Boxster that becomes a must drive.

Mine have been squeaking in reverse since about day 2 of ownership on my iForce Max. I haven’t even tried getting the TSB performed since that doesn’t seem to fix the issue. At this point, it has really soured me on trading my perfectly good 5th gen for this. I really like everything about it...

I’ve been an importer/exporter, a marine biologist, had a brief stint with Vandalay Industries, sold computers with my dad out of my garage and now I’m an architect.;)

Looks like Miami Blue from Porsche. It looks more like it should be on a 911 GT3RS than a 4Runner, but it’s a unique color for sure. Congrats on the new rig, I’m guessing you’re probably one of the first deliveries of the new Wavemaker color.

I took my wife’s Audi to the dealership the other day for warranty work and saw an Everest TRD Off-road that had been traded in. I did a double take because I was surprised to see it there, but it had the dealership logo plate where the regular front plate would go, so it wasn’t a customer or...

Huh? Have you ever owned a 4Runner before? The sunroof has never been a problem on Toyota Trucks and the hybrid battery is a system that’s been in existence in Toyota vehicles for over 20 years without issue either. I have the sunroof and the iForce Max and have zero concerns for long term...

Mine squeals horribly every time I back out of my driveway and I purchased mine post TSB. This is my 3rd 4Runner and I love everything about it except this. I haven’t decided if it’s a dealbreaker yet, but if other issues start to show up, I may be trading out of this and into something...

I’ve now owned 3 generations of 4Runners over 20 years and they all ride roughly the same way. They’re BOF trucks after all. I’m used to it but if you’re used to unibody CUV’s or sedans, then the ride is going to be vastly different and you may or may not like it. The 4Runner is definitely an...

Mine does that. The lane keep assist system is both sensitive and somewhat aggressive at times. I generally leave it on when driving long distances just to keep me honest I guess. For some reason I’ve always found the Japanese manufacturers to have overly sensitive and somewhat aggressive...

I was afraid the front overlap would be not so good with this vehicle. The Tacoma doesn’t do well and the front of the 4Runner is almost identical to the Tacoma so I guess no real surprise there.

I’m sorry that happened. That sucks. I was driving my daughter’s brand new Bronco Sport. I had just gotten it washed for her, I was making a left turn out of the shopping center onto a 4 lane road with a center turn lane and a big Chevy Suburban T Boned me in the intersection. The car had...

Super helpful. Thankyou Nodak! I’ll try this process in the next few days and let you know how it goes. Thanks again.
