Personally, I think any model of the 4 Runner is a good choice to make. I went with the 2024 TRD Off Road model for resale in 4-5 years from now, I do not off road my 4 Runner so all should be pretty much like new when resale time comes. I'm an off roader at heart as all my off roading was on a...

I feel that in 6 months tariffs will be pretty much a non-issue and prices will fall in place just like everything else. If you can't afford it today, then 6 months down the road you probably won't be able to afford it them.

I thought AMG batteries went in Golf Carts, but not totally sure on that. I just buy a replacement battery that is for my vehicle, in most cases I buy a factory replacement Interstate battery, why Interstate always had good success. Never quite understood why some buy expensive replacement...

As these two units are made in Japan I assume there will be a 25% tariff on these units as well as other models not made here in the U.S. Will Toyota and Lexus get some discount on tariffs as they have plants here in the U.S. As I'm now ready to buy new vehicle at this time, I feel by the time...

I live in Texas and I'm not totally sure of what our state does in situations like this, but I do know that in many accidents that I have heard about the drivers are told to exchange info and let the insurance companies sort it out. This is when no one is injured in the accident. I would report...

I purchased my 2024 4 Runner TRD Off Road in January of 2024. It is now 15 months old and has 5,600 miles on it. Truely, I didn't need the TRD Off Road model as I will probably never drive it off road, but just thought the resale value would be better on this model that say the other models with...

My buddy has a 2015 Ford F-150 with the 3.5 V6 Turbo and he just paid around $800 to have his spark plugs replaced, main expense was paying to remove all the turbo stuff to get the plugs installed. Turbos will just cost more in the long run when it comes to repairs, just more moving parts to go...

I don't know what your driving conditions, or ways are, but I can tell you I drive my new 2024 4 Runner only around 5,000 miles per year. Now when I have driven on a few road trips I have been able to get 22-23 mpg on the open road and driving around 65 mph. If I drive 70-75 mph the mileage...

My 2024 4 Runner TRD Off Road Premium listed for just at $54,000. When I purchased my new vehicle in January 2024 the dealer was giving a $3000 discount on this 4 Runner as they had some 20 plus 4 Runners in stock at that time. I will say here that within one month time they had only eight in...

My personal feeling is I purchased insurance to protect myself for anything that could happen, note, within reason. Since I have the funds to pay for what could happen in most cases, I feel it just part of life to protect my personal investments, etc. When I purchased just about anything if it...

I don't think the 4 Runner buyers would want a Soccer Mom vehicle.

True, I'm 79 and I have to get down on the ground on my all fours just to plug it in. I know why they did this is so when off roading you won't tear it off on rocks, etc. Good idea, but won't work for 95% of 4 Runner owners.

I would say I'm 79 and LED's are the only way to go. There should be charts out there for replacement LED's for your make and model 4 Runner on the internet. I feel someone on this forum should be able to help you with this. Do make sure you get the correct LED's that will work with your 4...

I purchased a new 2024 TRD Off Road 4-Runner just for the past performance, quality, and resale value of the Gen 5 models. The Gen 6 had not hit the market at that time and I did recognize that it would be somewhat built like the new Tacoma in its first year of production and there have been a...

Your choice makes sense to me, good choice.
