Toyota Says There’s Room For Both The Land Cruiser And 4Runner In Its Lineup
Toyota executives say there’s room for both off-road SUVs, even though the new Land Cruiser might play in the 4Runner's space.


If Toyota executives are to be believed, we shouldn’t worry; Automotive News reports that executives at the Toyota says there’s room for both in the lineup.

A new Toyota 4Runner should be on the way. The current one is old, and with a new Tacoma coming, that means a next-generation 4Runner shouldn’t be far behind. Hopefully. When it does come, it might end up being an issue for the Land Cruiser; Auto News claims it’ll ride on the same platform as the Land Cruiser, with a powertrain setup similar to both the Land Cruiser and new Tacoma. So why the toe stepping?

Auto News says Toyota executives are aware of the possible overlap and want everyone to stop worrying. There’s room for both SUVs, because they each have their own following.

“Land Cruiser has its following and 4Runner has its following, and there are going to be some people that cross shop both,” said Dave Christ, head of the Toyota Division, after refusing to discuss the next-generation 4Runner. “But for the most part, I think the two of them work really well together in our lineup.”

4Runner will continue to be built in Japan, for now. We'll see how sales of both Land Cruiser and 4R go to see if they will need to start building at different plants.
