Admit it! You’ve secretly wondered what it would be like to own a Toyota 4Runner. Everyone has thought about that incredibly reliable SUV. It might be a good time to consider a used option as the new generation launches. But first, listen to what this TikTok user has to say. 

TikTok user shares annoying Toyota 4Runner features 

Buying a used Toyota 4Runner could be a great decision, but this SUV is notoriously rough around the edges. TikTok user @mairhaven points out a few reasons to not buy a 4Runner. 

First, she brought up the gas mileage, but quickly admits that people who buy this off-roader aren’t in it for the fuel economy. She’s getting about 16.4 mpg. 

A different issue to consider is the cup holders. There is a large one in front of the ger shifter and a smaller one behind it. It has a removable holder for a smaller cup too, but it always comes loose. Reportedly, the cup holders never work. 

The next complaint is that it’s slow. This SUV has no pickup. However, it does sound aggressive and powerful. Give yourself extra time to merge. 

Then she mentions that the vehicle doesn’t have wireless Apple CarPlay. She is filming in a 2019 model, and honestly, not many cars had wireless Apple CarPlay at that time. 

Drivers also complain about the seats for not being very comfortable. 

How many mpg does the 2019 Toyota 4Runner get? 

The 2019 Toyota 4Runner gets an EPA-estimated 17 mpg in the city and up to 21 mpg on the highway. Adding 4WD reduces efficiency by about a mile. She also has larger tires that impact her fuel efficiency. 

What engine comes with the 2019 4Runner?

The 2019 Toyota 4Runner has a 4.0-liter V6 engine with 27- hp and 278 lb-gt of torque. It’s available with a five speed manual transmission. 

According to Car and Driver, this engine accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in about 7.5 seconds. That’s not terrible, but you could shave a second or two off with the Ford Explorer. 

Did the comment section agree? 

For the most part no. Commenters said that they get better gas mileage and speed just fine. One man even mentioned getting a driver’s ticket. 

Not having wireless Apple CarPlay is viewed as a positive thing. The lack of modern tech aids reliability. That’s why you get a 4Runner, so it will last. 

Also, people shared that the seats are very comfortable but things can always be improved with seat covers and other aftermarket accessories.
