I'd recommend a late model CPO 5th gen. The 6th gen 4Runner has a lot of hard plastics, smaller backseats, back seats that tumble forward rather than fall flat, etc... basically needs a solid mid life update to make it better. I put the OTT tune on my 15 4Runner, a cold air intake, and an...

Just wondering if anyone has installed long tube headers in their 5th gen 4Runners and if so how they were liking them? Specifically if they are too loud? The 4Runner is not a race car and never will be. I did an update with an aftermarket exhaust and had the annoying droning sound. Eventually...

I use VR Tuned ECU Flash combined with a pedal commander. The combination of the two make the 4Runner more enjoyable to drive. I asked VR Tuned about the pedal commander and they said it was ok and I've had it on there for a couple years now. My 2015 4Runner Trail Premium accelerates a lot more...

Would getting TRD Pro 17 inch Bronze wheels be a better idea? I'm not going to try and put on the newer rims after reading the advice on this thread. The bronze TRD Pro rims I've always thought as pretty nice as well, so that's why I'm asking. Included a picture.

It would be 17 in rims from the new Tacoma since my tires are 17s

I really like the new Tacoma and 4Runner Off Road Premium rims and want to put them on my 2015 4Runner and was wondering if there are any show stoppers? I talked with an auto shop and they said it wasn't a big deal but you need adapters for the tire pressure sensors. I'd basically have to add...

I really like the new rims on the 2025 4Runner Off Road Premium and Tacomas and want to put them on my 2015 4Runner Trail Premium. I was told there is some sort of adapter you have to put on to make the tire pressure sensor work? I searched around on google and on here but did not see anything...

So I sat in a a 6th Gen 4Runner Platinum at the Chicago Auto Show this weekend and have a few thoughts but my overall feeling on the 6th gen feels mixed. I also sat in a few Tacomas which have the same interior. 1. The blue seats in the Platinum for me personally would be hard to live with...

Can you buy a Canadian 4Runner, then buy an American 4Runner speedometer, and swap them out? I can see a few on eBay. I'm doing some research on this bc the Canadian 4Runner TRD Off Road comes with automatic lights, dual climate controls & KDSS standard. The Canadian 4Runners have kilometers...

4Runners are good for like 250,000 miles if you take care of them so I wouldn't worry too much about it getting to 100k miles. Here are some add ons you can do to your 4Runner to modernize it to include an aftermarket heated steering wheel. I've put these in mine and basically made it a new...

I bought their heated steering wheel for my 4Runner and it works great. However I second the Crutchfield option as a good place to start since if it's just Carplay you can probably find something basic there with good reviews that's easy to install.

Sony XAV-9500ES Plug & Play Bundle | '10 - '24 4Runner – Trail Grid Pro I'd just get this. It's going to be less expensive and better than Entune. I have a 2015 and it does a lot to modernize the interior.

I have a 2015 4Runner and am contemplating putting a Magnuson supercharger on it. Just wondering if any supercharged 4Runner had driven a hybrid Tacoma? I’m tempted by the Tacoma Limited Hybrid mainly bc the max torque at 1700 RPM which will outperform the supercharged 4Runner. However putting...

Does the new 2025 4Runner come with XREAS or something to reduce body roll and nose diving? I currently have a 4Runner with KDSS and it's great for my usage, so I'm disappointed that the 2025 does not have it. I have mixed feelings on the 2025 4Runner but the Platinum model pictured here looks...

Thank you for all the advice. I have mixed feelings on the 2025 4Runner bc it's longer, lower, and wider than the current 4Runner. It also does not have KDSS which is something that for my usage is very important. As of now I'm continuing to update my 2015 4Runner and with the next mod being...
