How does 5th Gen match up?
For those of you who had a 4th Gen and bought a new 5th Gen, how do they match up?

more room / visibility, some good hi-tech stuff, but lots of decontenting to save a few bucks - overall, I'm slightly positive on the cost / benefit ratio

Re: 5th Gen
They look nice, but I personally prefer the 4th Gen style. No one misses the V8? The one thing I don't like about my 4th Gen is the lack of headroom.

Happy truckin!

I like the 5th gen a lot better than my 4th gen.
  • Even though it is only inches bigger, it feels a lot bigger inside.
  • The ride is better.
  • It is quieter
  • 3rd row design is better and nice to have on occasion
  • Better sound system


I can see why then didn't put the V8 in the 4Runner. They wouldn't sell any Sequoias! The 5th gen to me seems like a baby Sequoia, and I like the look and size of it better.
