6th generation toyota 4runner debuts as 2025 model with new Trailhunter trim
|
The last time the world saw an all-new Toyota 4Runner was only a few months into President Obama’s first term. Obviously a lot has transpired since then, but the 5th generation 4Runner endured from 2009 through 2024 largely unchanged short of trim, tech, suspension, and appearance changes; at its core, the truck remained very much…

2022 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro – Let’s Take Another Look!
|
Having just completed a week in the Toyota 4Runner reminds me of how I genuinely enjoy the analog experience. I remember several years ago, six, perhaps seven years actually, the last time I spent time with the 4Runner. I recall it being an honest vehicle. That remains true today. While the platform is quite old,…

2022 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro l Review
|
“Why are dinosaurs always green?” That line, posted to Twitter in response to a photo of this vehicle, stayed with me throughout the entire loan. I’ve been overly critical in my reviews about the lack of updates to Toyota’s more rugged vehicles like the Tacoma, Tundra, and the 4Runner. Mercifully the Tundra was updated for…

2005 Toyota 4Runner Limited V8 4WD: Introduction
|
Here’s my newest acquisition: a 2005 Toyota 4Runner Limited in Titanium Metallic, with the 4.7L V8 and 4WD. I’ve been joking about what to name it, and the official name is TBD, but I really wanted to name it Britney because, well, oops… I did it again. Or “T-3PO,” aka “The Millennium Falcon.” There are…

2020 Toyota 4Runner Nightshade Special Edition: Review
|
We cover the Toyota 4Runner a lot here on Hooniverse. So it was with that in mind that I decided to pile on with my review of the 2020 Toyota 4Runner Nightshade Special Edition. Because, here’s the thing – I don’t really like the Toyota 4Runner. Never have. I’ve always found it overpriced with a…

2020 Toyota 4Runner Limited is damn good winter storm vehicle
|
December is here and so is the first winter storm in the northeast. 2020 model year 4Runner is here too, just in time for the storms. I didn’t have any new expectation for this ever-so-slightly updated 2020 model. It is still the very similar fifth generation 4Runner, very similar to the 2010 model year 4Runner…

Do modifications increase the value of a Toyota 4Runner?
|
Let’s be clear from the start: I’m a die-hard fan of the Toyota 4Runner. I have owned a 4th gen and a 5th gen and will inevitably own another in the future. From daily driver to weekend wheeling companion, the 4Runner works shockingly well in every conceivable usage. For many events in my life, including some…

Comparison: 4th gen and 5th gen Toyota 4Runners
|
Since its introduction in 1984 the Toyota 4Runner has become a forever player in the off-road capable, street-friendly SUV segment. Now deep into its fifth generation, the venerable 4×4 is still posting strong sales numbers. But prior generation trucks are holding up well, and the options for a reliable, comfortable, trail-happy rig are more than…

Truck Central: 2018 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro review
|
“This thing costs how much?” That’s a phrase I said to myself a few times, before it actually started to make some sense. You see, just a week prior, I had my hands on the new JL Jeep Wrangler. It was a Sport 2-door and yet it stickered for $38k as equipped. This 2018 Toyota…

Shift Happens: We let Josh borrow a Toyota 4Runner TRD Proand he hurt himself
|
Occasional Hooniverse camera person and camera car driver Josh Ostrander thinks he’s rad. To prove that he’s not rad, we let him borrow a Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro. He used it to check out his local mountain bike trails. He quickly proved that he’s definitely not rad. The 4Runner TRD Pro, however, is fairly rad.…
