21: INLINE 6S EVERYWHERE, NO MORE ICE AND A DINOSAUR REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The hosts express significant disappointment with the 2022 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro, deeming its technology ancient and its pricing unjustified. They highlight that the powertrain, including the four-liter V6 and five-speed automatic transmission, has remained largely unchanged since 2004, with the only notable update being a sealed transmission making servicing more difficult. While acknowledging Toyota's legendary reliability, they argue that the 4Runner TRD Pro offers poor value, suggesting consumers would be better off purchasing a used model from five or six years prior, as the technological trade-off is minimal. The review contrasts the 4Runner's stagnation with competitors like the Wrangler, which receives regular updates, and criticizes Toyota for continuing to sell the vehicle at a premium despite its outdated nature, attributing this success to consumer demand rather than product merit.
