Looking for year recommendations.

Looking at buying a 4 Runner. Either 2015,16,or 17. Hopefully I can find an OR model.
Just wondering if one year is better than the other.
Currently drive a 2015 DCSB Tacoma OR. Looking for more comfort and inside room.
Thanks.

 

I’m new to th T4R universe, but it’s my understanding that there is practically no change between the 14-18 models except they renamed the Trail the Off Road. Body is the same, engine is the same. Not sure if the KDSS is on all of the models, but can probably be installed.

 

All the same. Buy the newest one with least mileage that you can afford... although honestly a used 2017 will be about as much as a new 2018...

 

$25k- 71000 miles 2015
Looking at it Friday and bringing a check. I know prices are local, but in general, someone kick me in the pants.

What a shitty ad. I can never figure these CL assholes out. It's a free fucking service, it's not like you pay per word or per photo. Take some decent fucking pictures, and a lot of them, and write a goddamn description. Hell, copy and paste the description if you are too lazy or stupid to write your own. I appreciate that not everyone is a titan of business but come the fuck on, if you are selling something, fucking sell it. Put some effort into it.

 

This one is not nearly as bad as some. Like 3 pics of the steering wheel and one of the antenna. He sent me some others with my direction.
I'm glad to hear it's not just a Maine thing.

 

Biggest change: No Takata airbag to worry about 2017+

Summary of 2017 changes in this - https://www.westernslopetoyota.com/blog/2017-toyota-4runner-changes-and-specs/ - all having to do with Trail to TRD Off-Road

 

I don’t think it would be practical to install KDSS if it didn’t come that way from the factory, (it is not on every Off Road/Trail). However, you could upgrade to aftermarket suspension and get performance similar to or better than the Pro.

 

All I know is the 2016 model year is obviously greatly superior to any other year. But it's your money. I'm just trying to save you from making a huge mistake! 2016 model year or don't even bother. Just asking for issues otherwise.

 

Care to elaborate?

 

Presumably Wally has a 2016...

 

That was my thought too..

 

The blue ones are by far the most reliable and have the most ground clearance

 

Saw in Consumer Reports that male Silver model owners get the most women. Also....Apparently just owning a silver model 4, people just give you free beer. Pretty awesome!
