Purchasing a 5th Gen advice.

[Steve40th396]

I am looking at the limited in 4wd. One thing I have been researching is, what is the latest interior upgrades on the 5th gen?
And, what differences are there if any, between 2018 to 2022?
Thnx in advance..

You're buying a Toyota truck, friend. There are no differences between a 2010 and 2022... other than more emissions BS and pointless bugman/housewife low-effort electronic marketing gimmicks to break and cause problems.

Personally, I would just go Lexus if looking at a Limited.

Not a fan of Lexus SUV looks. Those grills...

Toyota safety sense in the last couple years: adaptive cruise control, pedestrian detection, collision mitigation, etc.

Yep, this is why I didn’t buy new. Happy with the bare necessities setup in my ‘18.

 

[Steve40th396]

Thnx for the updates, I hate adaptive safety controls in vehicles. Been driving allot of rentals with them. Not a fan..
So the 20 and 21 have these controls then?
2018/2019 sound good if so..

I shopped both and disagree. I wanted a surround camera which is standard on Toyota. To get this option on a Lexus GX460 you have to purchase the Luxury package. $50,000 for the Limited, 70,000 plus for the Lexus. And as much as I tried to like the looks of the Lexus I just couldn't. And that swinging rear door....oh my!

Lol! My other "daily driver" is a 1968 Ford F100. That is bare necessities (my 56 F100 had still fewer necessities).
There's a lot of "necessities" that I don't use on my 17 4runner

Different era, different "necessities".

Haha. Those are luxury cars compared to my Volkswagen Thing.

On a more helpful note: I have the ‘22 Off-Road Premium. It has all the gizmos. But they’re always missing the mark just a little bit. For example, my truck has adaptive cruise control. So does the wife’s VW Atlas. Her car will slow down to a full stop in traffic and then continue on, with no driver intervention. With the 4Runner, if the car comes to a complete stop you’ve got to hit the gas and then resume. The 360° camera on the Atlas is crisp and clear. On the Toyota it’s distorted and blurry. One doesn’t buy a 4Runner for those types of goodies. One buys a 4Runner for the off-road capabilities.

 

[Steve40th396]

One major reason I want the limited, is really the looks of the body.. The other 4runners fronts are a little off. I know there is allot of function in the front bumper area, but the front bumper looks odd to me...I like the front end of the limited...
I will change the tires and wheels, and go off roading...

My 2019 SR5 Premium has more than I need! Old school: Give me 4Hi and 4Lo selection, good tires and I'm fine. With age comes discretion!

Infotainment isn’t what breaks. It’s the cars that try to have air suspension, direct injection, cheap out on cam phasers and timing chain tensioners that leave you stranded.

Found a couple to look at this week. One is a 2018 with 66,000 miles, $38K
The other is a 2018 with 47k miles at $40K
Seems like mileage plays a big part in pricing..
These mileages are low, for a Toyota..
I a more concerned with how well the car was maintained, and I will see it once I get in it, and look at brakes, engine compartment, interior and paint.

My 2019 SR5 Premium was ~$43K with only 17K miles. Last year.

I am probably in the minority here. I personally consider a 4Runner without KDSS to be intolerable. Is the limited using X Reas? If so, that suspension may be more what you're looking for out of highway driving than the stock or TRD Pro suspension.

If you're modifying the suspension, then probably avoid KDSS.

I didnt see any mention of the KDSS on it. I dont think it is offered on the limited. I am not knowledgeable.
Is the 4runner just not stable with normal driving due to suspension being more off road friendly?
Maybe bigger sway bars can fix that? Not sure..
