I got to drive a 24’ MY 4Runner TRD Pro and honestly I understand why people miss the V6.

So I’ve never driven a 4Runner before and finally I got to drive a TRD Pro model. I actually understand why so many are worried about the new 4 Cylinder.

Although the V6 is old and so is that 5 Speed auto, the engine is just bulletproof. Everything about this model feels analogue which is something a lot of modern cars have lost over the years. In my video I go deeper into why I feel that and even throw shade and some other brands.

Did you drive a v8 four runner?

I was able to test drive a new Land Cruiser 1958. I'm 6' tall; no headroom issue. However, I tend to lean the seat back farther than normal (maybe).

this post really needs to be put into a grave. i mean the whole post is irrevelent for when it was posted in may-2024. the video is about a MY24 TRD Pro and the OP is saying the 4 cylinder is worse? um how did he test a MY25 4R with 4 cylinder turbo back in may-2024? i don't see any reference he was part of the early media influencers that were able to test drive them back in june-2024?

and who re-animated this zombied thread :)

I actually take that back. The 4 cylinder with the hybrid is great. I actually test drove a Tacoma TRD Pro and it changed my mind. Hope that helps a bit.
