Do I Want a New 4Runner?

[timber19]

I’m in the same boat with debating keeping mine or selling and getting new. Has anyone had a lot of issues with aftermarket for 2021+ 4Runners? That could be a deal breaker for me

You like your 2006, so you have 200k miles on it which by Toyota standards is not high. Put a couple of grand into it and get it into great working order and it would be just as reliable as a new 4runner. New 4runners are having a few issues out the gate. Never the less do what you think is best for you and your family.

Hail [MENTION=50279]spartacus[/MENTION], for this is wisdom. Full disclosure: I'm of the age that I just smh at the thought of people paying $40K+ for a vehicle, new or not, much less what the sticker is on some of these things. But buying right now when the cost of everything is through the roof? No way. You can probably do what is suggested above for less than what a half-year's payments on a new 4R will cost you. I have 225K on my '07 Sport and my plan for disposing of it is someone buying it from my estate.

I'd want to get the last year of the current model, and I'd get it exactly how you want it.

I'd personally want a SR5 Premium or whatever package gets me a few options like power seats, softex, 3rd row, better stereo, and of course 4x4.

I don't care about automatic climate control, Kdss, Xreas, or a sunroof- more to go wrong. I'd hold out for the color I wanted too.

Heck maybe I'll go for it... A claimed insider on here says 2024.5 is when the next gen comes out? Crazy if true but can you blame Toyota, they're selling more 4runners every year and it's a 2010 design basically with some tweaks.

Yes!! Go for it!

My 17 Pro has 50K on it and has been great. Just recently I hear my A/C- heater fan making a louder noise. Kind of like a clicking noise. Will get it addressed at my next service. I didn't want the extended warranty, but glad I did. Other then tire rotations and oil changes, it's been rock solid. Every now and then I get the stupid idea to sell it and get back into a Tacoma, but deep down I know I will regret it forever.

There's a lot to be said about a vehicle you already know is reliable and just adding miles to it. Especially if you don't like the way tech is going, you won't see that trend change.

Now is not the time to buy much of anything, especially 4Runners. Unless you have a lot of disposable income.

You are better off keeping what you have or buy a used 2019 or older.

I'm in full support for this portion of the comment lol -- this market is INSANE and makes all these vehicles not worth the prices slapped on them. I'd just be patient and see what unfolds through 2022
