I'll chime as an owner and former owner of both, I will be a bit of a devils advocate here as this subforum is heavily biased towards the GX. when we're not out exploring off road with my GX. I purchased the 2013 GX 460 premium for myself and she bought a shiny red 4x4 TRD Toyota Tacoma crewcab so we have a truck to tote around our surfboards, paddle boards, skis, etc.
#6th gen 4runner 2019 series
Note: I'm not Toyota nor 4Runner bashing, I love them! My wife and I just came off of two Toyota 100 series Landcruisers (his and her's). Okay so MPG is not as good, but think about what 2 to 4 MPH gains you in your wallet! Maybe an extra Happy Meal at the end of the year? Especially where you live, you have about the cheapest gas in the country out there!Īnd if you're looking to gussie up your rig, take a look at some of the GX builds on this site, including mine. They're value folds faster then Superman doing laundry!Īnd let's not forget a V8! More towing power and a slightly more HP to weight ratio than the 4Runner. Regarding long term value, it's a wash, both the GX and 4Runners hold their values well! Not like Bimmers, Merc's, Audi's and other premium SUV's out there. Seriously, go to a Lexus dealer and have you and your wife plant your butt in a GX and then go straight to a Toyota dealer and do the same. My friends seats are not nearly as comfortable as the GX nor are they ventilated or multi climate zones. Not sure if the standard 2019 models come with that or if it's still an added option. Regarding the seat thing, the GX Premium in 2013 had three climate zones and ventilated front seats. If you're a young family, I can almost guarantee you will be needing the extra seats if you plan on keeping the vehicle as long as you mention. My GX is a FAR more comfortable vehicle AND you'll have the third row seats without have to pay extra for them. I have a 2013 GX 460 Premium and my neighbors have a 2017 4Runner they purchased new, top of the line, whatever that is. I hate to have to chime in Alex1118, but all the above comments are true! I think it would match well enough for me.Ĥ. I’d be fine buying the bottom seat cushion perforated covers. I’ve seen where Katzkin leather offers a ventilated seat option called degreez. These are a near must for us as we are in Tennessee. There is a guy who put in an alpine halo9 in his and it looks very sharp.ģ. What do you all think? If they go unibody on the new 4Runner I think ours stay rock solid.Ģ. Long term value considering a 6th gen is on the horizon. It’s literally going to be 4500-5000 off sticker which is ridiculous for a 4Runner with zero factory incentives.ġ. I know a GSM at a local dealer who’s essentially going to give us a 4Runner at invoice less holdback. I’m pretty sure I want something new that we can keep for a long time. We have a 6 month old little girl and want to move towards something a little more comfortable yet retain some ‘character.’ 4Runner fits that perfectly. My wife and I’s 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is coming up on its lease. On sale now starting at just over $35,000.Need some advice. So 10-years into its 5-th generation the updated 2019 Toyota 4Runner holds on to all of the truck-style toughness that made it a go-to among off-road purists. The company says smart phone integration and Toyota Safety Sense are coming next year. The straightforward switchgear has plenty of big knobs and buttons. With a ground clearance ranging from 9 to 9-point-6 inches… you do feel the height inside. An updated aluminum front skid plate is ready to play rough, perfectly matched to its old school, 4-wheel-drive with 2-speed transfer case. Our TRD Pro’s newly outfitted suspension with Fox internal bypass shocks and an extra inch of wheel travel proves very taut on the highway, but slow down and leave the road… and the set up quickly adjusts to the toughest ground.Ī Multi-Terrain Select system aids in coping with whatever it meets. 35-years after its debut… it’s still body-on-frame.Ī torquey 270-horsepower 4.0-liter V6 roars to life matched with a 5-speed automatic. In a world where unibody, car-based crossovers fill up most lanes, the 2019 Toyota 4Runner stays true to its truckin’ SUV roots.
