Owner Review: "Delivered! 2025 4Runner SR5 w/ 3rd Row Seats - Owner Impressions, Pics, MPG Figures"

$72k..... I almost shat myself until I realized with great relief that the price includes ceramic coating and dent protection.

 

$15K of dealer accessories? Does it come with a side by side?

 

What the hell is going on in this thread? Everyone is fixating on the owners of 6th gens instead of the vehicles, this forum is not going to grow a meaningful 6th gen userbase if we get judgmental about the owners. Don't gatekeep either, it is possible to criticize Toyota for removing things like a full size spare without insulting the people that like it.

They finally answered a question no review did, the skid plate on the SR5. It looks plastic to me which is a huge downgrade, Toyota has been doing that on the Sequoia and the Tacoma, and I really wish they didn't make that compromise. The blank switches are not a big deal, it gives you a place to put switches for mods. The 3rd gen has only 3 or 4 in logical areas, and typically 2 of them are already used from factory. Having a ton of blanks means you don't have to buy a switch panel if you want to fit more that 4 circuits. It might not look the best, but it's function over form.

For TFL it's a business decision, getting the 6th gen first means they can start making content with it first, which means they get more views, which means they make more money. The math doesn't make sense for a normal buyer, but TFL isn't a normal buyer.

 

better include a freaking trunk monkey for that addon gouge

 

i think they started with the hard felt skid plate idea with the 22 tundra and it just carried over to every bof vehicle since then

all those blanks are for the higher trims which include a bank of blank switches connected to nothing, they are for the consumer to connect to whatever.

there is a pic somewhere of those blanks switches included.... here is a pic of a 2024 tacoma

 

The only more annoying design trend I could think of is 90s plastic panels on the bottoms of doors.

If you going to attach a giant tablet in the middle of the dash, at least give me an option to remove or fold it out of sight.

 

Then I would tell the dealer to remove the precious and expensive accessories because I would just ruin them on the hunting trails.

 

Have you seen your own posts in the Food Porn thread?

 

Right, lol
Just uncomfortably stuff all the pockets you have available like the rest of us

 

Phone, keys and wallet. What more do you need?

 

Dog poop bags, dog cookies, sunglasses, chapstick, tissues, headlamp, bug dope, etc.

 

Re-read my post. I specifically said not that different from Limited or Pro, followed immediately by stock photo of a 5th gen limited.

If you are confused, feel free to google what a 5th gen SR5 dash looks like on the left side.

 

You would bring all of that to the car dealership?

 

I'm surprised there is no iodine pill in case they need to purify water if they ran out of water, and sunscreen in case they need to be outdoors mid day.

 

Yeah. I guess I didn’t read it clearly. I know Canadian market TRD off-roads had dual zone climate so I thought it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility to find an SR5 somewhere that had it.

Plus I’ve never had any serious interest in a limited so I didn’t even know it had the same style circular 4WD dial as an SR5, despite it being AWD.

 

Those are part of “etc”

 

Probably not. I’d replace the lip balm with bear spray.

 

Toyota's option spec'ing never made sense in any case. They also gave Canadian market SR5/OR trims dusk sensing headlights but not the US market. Why? Who knows.

 

It all sounded excessive until I see your location is Maine. You guys up there along with Vermont are real EDC aficionados.

Do you keep walking sticks in the car?

 

LOL. No. But maybe I should considering all the rabid fox sightings in my area.

 

I think regional managers/VPs get heavy input into what each vehicle trim gets for their jurisdictions. Couple that with those particular areas laws and regulations.

Cigars, cutter, lighter, flashlight, knife, bottle opener...

 

I don't think anyone was debating, I could give a shit less what people like. But I WILL poke fun because that's just my personality and I think giving people a good nautured hard time is fun for all. Some people have thin skin and get offended; I am not one of those. That's why there is a "roast me" thread on the site.

 

For real?

I'll see you guys in a bit... going exploring.

 

Anyone know if the additional width translates to additional in-cabin width or is it all in the fender flares?

(and if the width mirror to mirror is any bigger?)

 

Asses, glasses, testicles and spectacles?

 

Are we switching topics from man bags to hairy palms?

 

No, ma'am.

 

There is? You've been holding out on me! Link me, brother. Right meow.
