I have a 2018 and the thing that I dislike the most is the brakes. If you hit them fast but not hard they lock up. If you hit them slowly you have to press hard. They are very non-linear and nothing like anything else that I have ever driven.

I have also noticed this but when I was in Moab last week doing the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands, the way the brakes worked off road was very. useful in how I was able to control coming down off rocks without "dropping" onto rock with the bumper, so now I more understand why Toyota designed them that way. Also, a lot of people don't like the throttle response and do aftermarket mods (like pedal commander) to "pep" up the responsiveness, but as I had to do some serious climbs (at times up to 45 deg), I appreciated the throttle being less peppy as it was steep and sandy and I didn't want to spin tires and the throttle allowed me to ease into the sand and not spin the tires as I climbed some very steep terrain.

Watched this again - watch our Canvas Back video. The paint quality on the 4 Runner is first rate, sliding boxes 📦 as you claim over any bumper will remove the paint or damage it. That is ALL on you for being careless, not Toyota. The placement of the window controls is ergonomically fine and 100 percent correct especially off roading. How nice can it be to rest your arm up there and not have to move, plus they are all express up and down. Bottom line is You bought it and none of this stopped your purchase. 5th Gen 4Runners are assembled at a Lexus facility in Japan, and you are the only channel whining like this. It looks like you are hard on the vehicle and careless and won’t take any responsibility for your role in the degradation of this 4 Runner.

2019 TRD premium owner and I agree with the thin paint that Toyota sprays on their vehicles. There is no increase in gas mileage as a result. I watched your video when you first purchased the 4Runner and I decided to switch from my Rubicon to the 4Runner. Pros and cons for each vehicle but the road noise is a lot less than the Jeep. The engine is quieter and comfort is much better. More comfortable for rear passengers too. The radio issue I decided was not a factor because the Jeep had the same old system although from 2012 Jeep to 2019 I would think Toyota would have improved by 7 years. Lights too are another issue. Why do I have to upgrade to LED interior and exterior after paying so much for the vehicle just to add value that I thought I paid for? Lastly, I decided on the 2019 because I didn’t need adaptive cruise and lane change monitoring. I like old school and the 4Runner has that. Would I buy again? Yes, but please add more paint. Thanks for the review.

Yes I have the same problem with the hoods scoop glare at the correct angle of the sun !! One of my gripes is why didn’t Toyota put the hand parking E brake on the console ? Not a foot operated hand brake,forget about the cup holder and slot there,that’s where the parking E brake needs to be !! Love the 5 speed transmission and the sport mode lets you down shift on steeper hills for engine braking instead of keep braking down hills !! Love my 4 Runner 5th Generation,Hope Toyota keeps the 4.0 V6 in future 4 Runners,I get 20 MPG tooling around highway and in town on regular fuel !! Not bad for an Old School Dinosaur !!

I love my '19 4Run and I agree with 4 out of 6 of these complaints. I haven't encountered the hood scoop issue, but I agree, if you are going to put one on the vehicle, it should be functional, not fashionable. They have done this in previous generations so I am not surprised. I was shocked with the paint chipping, I noticed it around the front of my vehicle a few days after I got it washed at a car wash... unbelievable and I bitched to my dealer about that. I am not concerned with the gaps between the plastic and the metal. These are not $300k super cars where they are hand made. I see people lose their mind over this with Teslas, measuring down to the millimeter the gap differences. It is a 4Runner. I am just waiting to get mine paid off so I can work on the upgrades that Toyota should have made standard.

The window control complaint is near universal. #1 and #3 are corrections I'd make myself. I'm looking at either at either waiting on the next gen to come out or getting a 2019-2022. will be my first new vehicle in around 15 years. Driving a 03 Jeep GC Limited V8...back when Jeep was owned by Daimler and still making okay Jeeps. 4Runner was my quick choice since it's body on frame, best smallish off road SUV with cargo space (Wrangler sucks for that), and the V6 is ridiculously reliable. I was originally looking for everything I'd want. Having a Limited on the Jeep meant I had the leather, cd changer, heated seats, etc..the top end features in the early 00s. So I thought I'd want the same, but ended up realizing I'd have to go with Limited again. I want to get off road, camp/hike/bike, get on the family farm, on and on. The only features I'd truly miss out without Limited is dual climate zone control and ventilated seats (I live in the south! ventilated is more valuable than heated in 99 degrees and high humidity). That said at least the seats are replaceable or the possibility of adding them via third party. The pant chipping sounds possible concern. I am surprised on your fit and finish. Was built in the Lexus plant too?

Glare hasn't been an issue since. I hate the climate controls on the ORP. Toyota should offer a thermostatic climate control in the ORP. Otherwise, after one year of ownership, I have generally been satisfied.

Not 1 of those items would I dislike. There are a slew of things that could be added to the vehicle for safety, performance, mpg reduction, etc, etc. I would never suggest 1 of these for an every day road driver. (Even though it is obviously well rounded for everything.) But it is hard to deny the balance of how good it is in every category. I dig mine a lot. No complaints, just wishes there was more to it in some aspects. Such as gearing for the long downhill slopes. Cannot find that happy spot that adaptive cruise control gives you. Would be nice if it was a hybrid! Imagine the range you could get. And the torque you could have for off the line launches. As well as off pavement prowess that EV torque provides. I have never had 1 situation that vehicle could not handle off pavement. But a hybrid version would be SO much cooler.

So do these gear hunt as bad as the 3rd gen Tacoma? Was thinking about trading in my sluggish gear hunting 20 Tacoma for a 21 4Runner sr5.

@@pagodad2036 the 4runner is even worse. You have 6 gears on the Tacoma, 4runner only has 5 and with very tall first gear....To the point the 4lo crawl is almost not crawl at all.

@@christt6809 we are not talking about hunting gears as a mechanical problem but as a gearing (+underpowered) issue. My 4runner had 50k miles on it when i sold it and did it from day one, I never looked at it as something for the dealer to look at since there was nothing they could do to fix the horsepower/weight/gearing it comes with.

I agree with some of the things you cite in the 4 Runner, but there are some bigger issues in my opinion. First, is the confusing models, packages, etc. Trying to get the options you like without something you hate is a nightmare research project. Second, why totally different body styles worth the hood scoop, skid plate and grills. I thought they were different model years. A big interior issue is the radio controls. The volume buttons are left and right, not up and down and they are on the left of the wheel, not the right like most vehicles. How about sensors in the front bumper but not front parking assist? No center console tray, just a huge cavern to lose things in. And finally, a huge issue, remote start shuts off when you get in the car! How silly is that? These are some of my thoughts in my first week after coming from a Chevrolet that was a year older and had solved all of these problems, included LED lights inside and out, 9 speed transmission for torque and mileage, and paint chipping.

And I huge one I forgot is the 3rd seat. Wanted the slide out tray but hit the seat. And with that, I lost the ability to fold the back flat for sleeping which was important to me. I love my truck, but the buying experience was convoluted at best.

Do you think the paint chip and hook scoop reflection issues would be lessened by going with the gray color?

Perhaps. I think the gray is a flat paint right?

I replaced my 91 Montero with a 4Runner. Way more vehicle with bells and whistles than I need but still a nice rig. And the only decent rig build on a frame. On thing I noticed and I think it’s a problem on many modern rigs is the mood is very high making it hard to see close in. The sides bulge again causing no visibility. When I parallel park I can’t see the hash marks and have to use the backup camera to center the vehicle. I’m 5’10” so sitting height is not the issue. It looks mean but it’s not functional.
