But I finally drove one and it had lots of tire noise and had numb steering.

I see the 2025 is 4 inches longer and the wheelbase is also 4 inches longer.

For those that know, will this make for a smooth ride..I don't do trails often..

Longer wheelbases usually result in a smoother ride. That being said, if you’re looking for smooth, why are you looking at a 4Runner?

lol! Are you serious Clark?!? The 4Runner is a durable body-on-frame suv. If you’re bitching about the ride, get a damn crossover.

Road noise depends a lot on the tires.

Isn't the 4runner an SUV on a Tundra chassis?

I had a 2012 and it drove like a station wagon. A set of Bilstein 5100’s and AT tires fixed that.

My wife has one. It’s reliable, it holds its value and is a very good looking vehicle but it drives like shite. I prefer my wrangler.

It’s the official vehicle of California’s divorced single mothers.

It drives like a truck because it is one.

It’s old school and someone utilitarian…..and beloved for that.

Want smooth? This is not the droid you’re lookin for.

Prepare your anus. There’s a 4runner cult on this board that’s gonna be pissed.

I bought one in 1986. IT was a few years old. Mine was the style with the completely removable top. Was a cool feature but was a pain to do.


It was a very solid vehicle back then. All Toyota trucks back then were solid




Something like this one. No stripes on the side. Black rims and bigger tires

It may be a good vehicle, but I'm tired of having to accept 4 banger engines with so much boost it'll be a miracle if they make it to 75K miles.

I like it too. But too pricey for low mpg though. The highlander is what I’m aiming for now.

My 04 TJ with a soft top and SuperSwamper TSLs has zero road noise.

Toyotas have the best and most reliable vehicles of any brand. They all drive great.

4Runner is not for you. Buy an extended length Navigator if you want a grandpa ride.

I’ve never liked the head space of the 4 Runner. The roof is too low and the sides bend in more than other SUVs and hits the side of my head. It’s like sitting in the window seat of an airplane.
