Last of the V6s?

Hello all! Picked up a '24 4runner Off Road P in Underground a few weeks back. Came lifted with Fuel wheels and Bilstein shocks from the dealer. Sadly it's the last year they'll make a NA v6 4Runner so I think this thing will hold some value. Here's how she looks thus far...

 

Nah, it's going to depreciate and be worth little to nothing to most folks over time. As the turbo-4 becomes the new standard, people will appreciate the V6 less. The turbo-4 will get better over time and outshine the 4.0L V6 in every way. What you, and I for that matter, bought is old technology that holds very little advantage over what will become the new standard. Have fun with it though. I sure am.

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome

 

That's a great looking 4Runner. Congrats! Whether they hold their value or not remains to be seen, but you can relax and enjoy your new 4Runner knowing that you have one of the most reliable vehicles on the road.

 

welcome, nice

 

Nice ride, I love the color.

They ALL hold value, it's a Toyota thing. It's still a depreciating asset though, it will just depreciate at a lower rate than other vehicles.

I agree with Aces, as the 2.4 gets more accepted, then general public will turn their nose at the 4.0.

I already do, but everyone here tells me my opinion is wrong, lol.

 

Congrats & welcome

 

I still think the 5th gen will become like the FJ Cruiser. These things will not be available cheap.

 

Nice rig. That plastic crap needs to be chopped off though

 

The thing with the FJ Cruiser is that they hardly sold any of them, so they're rare. I haven't looked at the stats, but I would bet that the single best year of 5th gen sales is more than total FJ sales.

I looked them up a while back to compare to Jeep, and the worst year of JK Wrangler sales still outsold the best year of FJ sales.

 

That's ok. You have the right to be wrong if you want to.

 

We shall see what we shall see. I just purchased my 2024 4Runner specifically for the same 4.0 V6 I had in my 2006 Tacoma. 17 Years of reliable use....A Turbo is going to last 17 years, a 4 banger at higher pressure mileage? We shall see what we shall see.

 

Funny enough, I have a 17-year-old turbo car on the original turbo with 233k miles. Don't know if you consider that high or not.

 

Yes. I had original turbo in my 1997 Volvo 850 wagon at 285k miles.

 

Volvo's are different?

 

More reliable than a Toyota?

 

Thats happening when I get the new bumper in. Lots more work to do for sure.

 

I also have a GR Corolla, little turbo 3 cylinder pumping out 300+ HP practically stock. I hope it'll last that long.

 

Congratulations on a beautiful T4R ORP, simplicity and reliability were my two reasons for purchasing. Welcome to the forum from San Diego!

 

Don't let anonymous peeps on the interweb convince you that you need something you don't. Stock 4runner will amaze most people when they try to use it

 

Maybe Volvos made in Sweden and not China are a different breed?

 

Nice ride mate

Keep the thread on topic! Who cares if the car dips value? I thought we're keeping these til they break down.. can't wait to go to the junkyard and start picking up parts too

 

You should compare the FJ Cruiser with the JK, not with the JKU. Apples to apples. I bet FJ Cruiser outsold the JK.

 

I think FJ Cruiser did better, I couldn't find 2007-2014 sales for Jeep
Let's see how the little funny Landcruiser FJ does mext year.

 

Welcome fromArizona.

 

Welcome from Wisconsin!

 

Welcome from AZ!

 

Welcome from Washington State. That's a sweet ride! Dang! I walked into the dealership fully intending to get the Underground and something happened....left waiting on a Terra to arrive on a cargo ship. No regrets but I'm a little envious for sure! Enjoy!

 

Speaking of FJ, just saw this lil guy
