What is the best year 5th Gen 4Runners
I’m looking to buy a 5th Gen 4Runner. Which year models were better than others?

New features are subjective in a lot of cases.
Personally I'm glad I went with a 2019 over the 2020s on the lot since I'm not a fan of the sensor nannies, but I don't get factory carplay, which kinda sucks. It can be remedied with a new head unit though. I have heard good things about the new LED headlights on the 2021 (2020?) since the bulbs on mine are... lacking... |
2017
I haven't seen a single recall for mine ;) |
You keeping the 3rd gen?
I like the 2014-2019 models. Some updates but not full of sensors and tech. Navigation is not great, disappointing coming from a Garmin unit on the window. Soo, if you need good nav and have cell data, consider something with Apple Car Play/Android Auto so you can use phone GPS. Adding, low miles and good condition were my primary criteria buying used. I wanted a fresh one. Consider an off lease, like a 2018ish now. Also, the way these things depreciate make them a great lease-then-buy options, if you go new 2020/2021. |
2013 Trail. Wish I had went that route instead of my 2016 SR5, but to each their own.

2017 owner here. It seems that the 2017MY is the one to get; no fuel pump recall, no TSS to worry about when modding, and in the sweet spot of price vs. mileage for the other 5th gen model years right now. 2017 has everything you need, and nothing that you don't. After that would be lower mileage 2015s or 16s for me personally.

I bought an early 5th gen at a great price thinking I'd upgrade the front to '14+ but I don't think I will now. Honestly feel like the 10-13 is a better evolution from the 3rd gen. Still a bit utilitarian, not a fancy dash, a noisy engine thats reliable, & can actually get an e-locker (unlike the 4th gen unicorn) |

Appearance wise, the only thing I'd change on the rear would be upgrading to the 14+ LED tail lights. And to me, the front ends are much cleaner than the 14+. |
2010-2013 Trail :)
|
Pre-refresh Shoreline Blue Trail.... sort of joking but they are awesome and hard to find.

2010-13 TE if you can. Best looking and the interior is not as hot as the softex offered on the later models. I have a silver 2012 TE and a 2017 Cement pro, I prefer the 2012 in a lot of ways.
2010-13 Blue and red TE were not offered in all regions. They are very rare indeed. |
