@texasGarage were those just the stock tires on it? if it was then it did very excelent!! i have a 2nd gen 1990 runner. the mud tires i want to get are the Hankook Dynapro MT. A buddy of mine has them on his FJ and i seen what they can do. going rock crawling they dont chunk have a strong sidewall and they self clean very well.
Think you need better tires. I had the same problems taking it out with my runner on stock . After I put a new set of Rocky Mountain ATS, runs like a champs. :)
I love my new 2011 4runner, even coming from my 2001 Xterra. but the stock tires on my Trail model are crap. but I have been through some easy mud with no problems.
I have a 2000 4runner....seems the new ones are to fat and heavy,,less capable...mines never been pulled outta anything. 27500 miles still runs as new.
@daverunner I own that identical vehicle. Very capable and if you watch the entire video you'll see it wasnt pulled out either. The only drawback is the stock tires are complete $hit
@daverunner I have to totally agree with your here. The new 4runners are quite worthless 4 wheeling, and not to mention the new 4runners are all built on a unibody chasis. The 3rd gen 4runner is no doubt the best gen of 4runners out there. I love the diff lock on mine. You can't beat it, and its unstoppable.
@civicboy123 Incorrect statement that its unibody, still body on frame construction per website. Also, get the optional locking rear diff if you are going to go mudding, thats a big mud hole to try especially with tires that are designed for comfort and economy
@daverunner they arent more fatter but they are a very heavy suv but this guy just cant drive it properly, he need to use the crawl control or something. I have checked out this car and it is 1000 times better and way more powerful than the 2000 4runner. not saying that yours is bad or anything.
@daverunner do you ever even drive the thing? my car is a 2009 and has over 50K miles...that's a lot, but 27K seems like nothing for an 11 year old car
yep ,tires make a world of a difference, when i first got my 86 4runner with trailcats on it, i thought that every body was just hypin it up, but once i got my toyo mt's it changed my whole perspective on the good ole 4runner!
@texasGarage he means the average person with an average income isn't going to buy a brand new vehicle and go play in the mud with it, causing the vehicle to deteriorate faster.
Is this 4WD ? And did you use 4WD high ? Also the new 2010 4runner looks crapy ! I like the 2002-2009 versions plus it is too long the fucken added a third row. This is not a good off roader if it is to long. If you want a third row buy a Sequoia.
whats up with all these new 4runners gettin stuck. I thought this was THE SUV...im sorry but i'll stick to the REAL SUV. my 1996 jeep grand cherokee laredo with selec trac 4wd
@NakedSnakeBlGBOSS ...i could've went all my life without knowing this..and i have been rear ended before and no fire goddamnit..this just ruins my day
@NakedSnakeBlGBOSS i drove my porsche around today, afraid to take my jeep out and saw lots of GC and that gas tank is right behind the bumper but on all the jeeps i saw that was just the 2wd models...i have a 4wd model. but none the less the configuration is near the same :(
...well, I'm not sure how they are any different, but nonetherless, what are you going to do with your GC anyway. You think you will still be able to drive that thing someday..?
@NakedSnakeBlGBOSS Well It's usually garaged half the year, but i recently started driving more often, everyday infact. Now that I have this info, i don't want to sell ot and risk someone losing their life in MY vehicle, so i guess i'm just gonna keep her garaged forever now, and take her out once a month to keep the fluids running through the systems. -sigh- I wonder if it was ever recalled to fix this issue.
I'm sorry that you had to come to this conclusion. I just wanted to see what the actual owners would think of this info, and didn't think you'd take it this much seriously, so I apologize.
And as far as I know, Chrysler never did any recall on this.
I know how you feel and I can see you are quite a good man with a good heart, but seriously? You'd just keep it yourself? Dude, you could still make money out of it and buy a newer GC or other vehicle!!
@NakedSnakeBlGBOSS yea well this GC has been in my family since it was new. But having this car for 14 years or so and being rear ended maybe 5times and no explosions but the fact that it could happen scares me and i only drive this car in the fall/winter and keep the cayenne garaged during the winter thats why i have these 2 trucks but driving a GC in the snow,ice possibly raises the crash factor correct? I could actually never bring myself to sell this car and belive me i've tried lol
its badass the way it sits now,,,,but it would be WAYYY batter with a lift kit, some actual mud tires, and some loss weight.....keep up the cool vids!
dont mud your truck it will break trust me i had a 2009 4 runner mudded it and mud gets in the trans and all kinds of bad places buy a old jeep and mud it not your brand new 4runner
Well then it does one hell of a job getting through this mud hole with close to street/SUV tire. To me the 4RUNNER is the only true SportUntilityVehicle left. The Chevy Trailblazer, Dodge Larado or Ford Explorer is close to hilarious as a an off roader unless you consider grave roads? LOL I'll have to a search for these running in their stock form in mud.
Sure would help if you boys mounted real tires on this 4Runner. I have Kelly TSR Safari's 265-75-17 on mine and it would not have had problem with this mud at all. If you want to play in mud get rid of that street rubber and save on REVERSE!!
great job,, i have to give Toyota credit they have done some great construction on the new 4runners, they really kept true to the offroading DNA in those
@spankybrandonf yeah my family does too we actually went to go look at them we found one with third row seats which we need and it was $34,000 and after interest it was $42,000 it is too expensive for us too so we might get the Honda Pilot
The pit is deceitfully deep. Also, this was our first trip through any mud in a stock 4Runner with stock street tires. We didn't wanna dive too far off into the deep end as the car was due back the next day.
If you would like to suggest a better pit for a totally stock car in Texas, we'd be more than happy to take a look at it for our next 4x4 video. This time, we worked with what we knew.
not to mention that the guy in the 4x4 F250 eagerly waiting to pull us out said he was surprised that the 4Runner made it through. He was telling us the whole time about all the 4x4 trucks and SUV's he's pulled out including just the day before.
sounds good and looks good,,, all it needs is some bigger tires

No one would blame you even if you sold it. And it's not like getting rear ended is something that happens all the time.
