I love mine so far. Got lucky and got it early. Had it for a week before going offroad.

Nice video, congrats on the first outing. Being closer the front range for me, I haven't gone on any trails like that! Lots of snow around here still but the multi-camera is AMAZING for really threading a line. Very fun and enjoy sir!

My first outting, a 4th and 5th gen found me so we did a group photo...shortly after I found a stuck CyberTruck

I love the snow. I want to try the 4runner in it. I need to spend more time with the multi terrain cameras.

Thanks for sharing. Looks like a nice first foray offroad, and it's always nice to see mixed groups going out together (4Runners, Jeeps, Broncos, etc.). Planning on any mods for offroading on tougher stuff?

Thinking bigger tires at some point. I also have a 2004 jeep wrangler so I have options. The 4runner is going to be for multi day camping trips.

Great seeing so many owners putting their new 2025 4Runners to work so fast after delivery. Since you’re a Jeep owner too how do you think the 6th gen compares to its competition like the Jeep? Have you driven the JL Wrangler or 6th gen Bronco for a comparison?

Thank you for watching my video. It was super fun to make. I also have a 2004 Jeep Wrangler TJ. It is great offroad but is not fun on the highway. Plus because of it's age I am not afraid to take it places I won't take the 4runner.

I am in the Jeep club in my area and to be honest I wanted something different for my next vehicle. I have friends that have Broncos and they didn't have a lot of great things to say about them. Everyone I know that has a 5th gen or older 4runner loves them. I thought I would take a chance on the new 4runner. I know about all the changes but I personally really like the way the new one looks. This is my first Toyota ever. I also wanted to be able to sleep in the back on longer trips. I feel like the 4runner was the best fit for sleeping.

I also love the way it drives on the highway. It is super stable and can maintain higher speeds with no problem. Time will tell if I made a good decision or not. I will probably have to take the back seats out if I am going to go on a multi day camping trip. I have one planned during the summer.

I hope this helps. I didn't completely answer your question since I didn't actually drive the new Jeep or Bronco. I kind of knew what I was looking for.

Even the newest JL Wrangler doesn't drive as well as the new 4Runner if we're talking about daily driver use. It's still a complete brick of a car and feels unrefined compared to the 6th gen 4Runner.. The newest 4Runner is still excelling doing what it's done best at -- being a jack of all trades, but also the most comfortable daily driver out of the off-roady SUVs group (vs. Jeep and Bronco).

Got any more videos or pics from off-roading? Love the aerial drone type videos. Very relaxing to watch.

Interesting that you mentioned jack of all trades because that is exactly how I would describe it. I have a Jeep a Ram 1500 and a 4runner and the 4runner doesn't excel at anything but it comes in 2nd on everything. Well I guess it does excel at gas mileage compared to the other two vehicles.

I think you are going to really like it. So far it hasn't disappointed.
