Coming Soon

Toyota 4Runner 5th Generation

20102024 · N280 · suv

The 5th-gen ran 15 model years with one engine: the 4.0L 1GR-FE V6 (270hp, 278 lb-ft) paired to a 5-speed automatic. TRD Pro arrived 2015 with Fox shocks. KDSS on TRD Off-Road / Limited handles surprisingly well. Last body-on-frame, hydraulic-steering 4Runner; the 2025+ 6th gen moves to a turbo I4 and the TNGA-F platform.

Watch out: Cracked exhaust manifolds on 2010-2018 trucks — heat cycling cracks the cast manifolds at the flange, causing tick-on-cold-start and eventual exhaust leak. $800-$1,200 to replace at a shop.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
