Even though this platform is considered to be “basic” in many people’s eyes, it still has an incredible reputation for reliability.Ģ023 marks the 40th year of the 4Runner. They recently announced that they have sold more than 4 Million 4Runners in the past 40 years! I’m not a betting man, but if I was, I would bet that Toyota will probably sell another 1 Million in the next decade. Regardless of what side of the fence you sit on, t he company is selling 4Runners left and right. Look at the early model 5th Gen (2010-2013 – those are still fetching $25K all day) As I said, basic economics, however, we’re dealing with Toyota here, and they always hold their value. This ultimately drives the price of the older model down. The law of supply and demand shows that with the release of a new model, the demand for the previous body style goes down. Whether you agree with that statement or not, basic economics backs this up. However, many people also believe that a new body style would diminish the value of the 5th Gen. It’s a huge letdown for the community to see the 4Runner be seemingly neglected.


Meanwhile, the company has continued to update every other vehicle in its lineup including the Toyota Prius which low-key has me thinking about trading in the 4Runner (just kidding). That means after 13 years of production, the Toyota 4Runner has only received minor improvements. For many, this marks yet another year of no major body style changes or huge technology improvements. If you’ve kept up with the recent news in the 4Runner community, the resounding feedback from enthusiasts is that of disappointment with the 2023 model year.
