4 Runner What to Get?

[Chuy]

I finally talked my friend into getting a 4x4. He decided on a 4 Runner, he is looking at new or certified pre-owned. Any advice on what model to get or what to look for? He wants me to come along with him so any advice would help. Thanks

Trd pros are hard to come by and are expensive. I see alot of folks buying a regular 4runner then adding the mods they might want afterwards

I hear good things about the trail (older) and TRD off-road (newer) editions with KDSS, multi-terrain selection, and Crawl Control. Hard to go wrong with any 5th gen 4runner though.

I was in the same situation as your friend. Did a ton of research, decided on 2017 TRD Off Road Premium. Then out of the blure, bought a 12 year old Lexus GX470. I paid 1/3 the cost of a new 4runner, and this thing will do anything. Plus, it's got a V8! You can do no wrong with any truck you pick, just figure out the optionsame you have to have. Good Luck!

I enjoyed my 4th gen Limited 4Runner, V8 and cushy. Although it's sounds like he wants newer. Costco has a good buying program.

Thank you everyone for the input, my friend and I really appreciate it. My Friend ended up getting a TRD Off Road, the rear locker and interior trim sealed the deal. Those crawl control options look like fun. We test drove all of the trim levels excluding the TRD Pro. Personally I really liked the Limited with the A/C leather seats and AWD.
