Long story short, the advantages of a part-time system over a full-time system are negligible. The only real advantage as far as the 4Runner is concerned is that Toyota doesn't offer many off-road features on the full-time system. No rear-locking diff, No sway bar disconnect, No MTS, and no...

@Scott2373 I came here to post that video. LOL. That is a great explanation of the differences between the two systems and why the FT 4WD system is superior in a lot of ways. On the land cruiser is is superior in virtually every way. On the 4Runner and Tacoma the only real negative is no option...

Yeah, I edited my post earlier, but I had not seen your reply to it. This is just strange to me. Why would the same engine with the same power ratings (346 hp and 465 lb.-ft) require different octane gas? Tacoma hybrid clearly states 87 in the manual (pg 591 BTW). What is different?

I don't know why the LC is 91 octane only, but it is not that way for the Tacoma hybrid. The Tacoma hybrid is 87 Octane or higher. Specifically called out in the hybrid manual. Same as virtually every other non-luxury vehicle. Very strange that it would be different for the exact same engine...

I expect the next news drop will be for press test drives. Possibly with press loaners as well. That was how it was for the Tacoma. However, I think we are at LEAST a month away from that. Maybe 2. Then we will get specific details and pricing later on. Maybe September. Think of it this way...

I'm uncertain now. Like I said the prototype was not a hybrid but had full-time 4WD. However, the press release seems to say it does require they hybrid. I think we will just have to wait for more information to say for sure...

The Limited prototype that was shown off was not the hybrid, but still had Full-Time 4WD. Thus, I expect it will be available without the i-Force Max.

AWD is a bit of a loaded term among the Truck and (body on frame) SUV crowd. It is mostly semantics, but the more accepted terminology here would be Full-Time 4WD. Basically the FT 4WD is the same as a traditional part time 4WD system with a center differential. A traditional 4WD system will...

So looking at pictures of the prototype interiors, the 4Runner definitely will not be able to install the compressor as an accessory. For the Tacoma there is a DC/USB power supply in the slot the air compressor occupies on non-trailhunter trims. The 4Runner has a specifically designed interior...

FYI, the Air compressor on the Tacoma is listed in the accessory manual so I believe it can be added to any trim. If so it might be similar for the 4Runner though I can't remember if spot for it was covered up or not on the Limited and Pro. Anyway, it is over $1K for the Tacoma. Here is the...

I just don't understand why traditional manufactures are not allowing the plethora of on-board cameras to be recorded and used as dashcams. At least with these new models there is a built in option for power to an aftermarket one. The OEM one at $500 is just insane.

looks like this has been out for a month. https://media.toyota.ca/en/releases/2024/2025-toyota-4runner-refines-adventure-ready-heritage.html https://www.toyota.ca/toyota/en/register-for-4runner-updates

In 20 years almost all of the manufactured vehicles will be full EV. Honestly this is probably the last ICE only generation for the the 4Runner. Large manufactures like Toyota will likely be doing some ICE vehicles in 20 years, but most of those will still besome form of hybrid. Meanwhile, small...

Um... yeah. That is kind of what a pickup truck is. It has a longer wheel base to support the bed and improve towing. A shorter turning radius is just the sacrifice you pay with a longer wheel base. The two go hand in hand. If that is what a person is focusing on then they obviously are not...

So she bought the current 5th Gen and come 9 months from now she will regularly ride in, drive, and look at your 6th Gen? Damn, I think that buyers remorse is going to hit HARD about a year from now. There might be SOME growing pains, but overall I don't expect the 6th Gen to be much less...

I definitely am. I'm leaning toward the Tacoma as I have never had a truck and would really like to. However, I will only buy it if they add memory seats with the 2025 model. Also the lack of rear vents could end up being a deal breaker. All in all I'm super excited about both. I'm firm that...

Announcements like this are intentionally slow rolled. They doll out information slowly over time to help build the hype among their enthusiast buyers (like many of us here). This is especially true when looking at all the teasers they did leading up to the initial reveals for both the Tacoma...

I understand the perspective here, but I personally find that much of it has made me a better driver. In addition, it DRAMATICALLY reduces highway fatigue. Not having to worry about most steering and speed control allows you to relax and be more focused on the road as a whole. The less things...

Go test drive a Tacoma. Besides a few differing features, the front seat experience should be exactly the same as the new 4Runner. Size should be a perfect one for one.

When you say the Canyon was small, was that sitting in the front seat or back seat? If you find the Canyon small in the front I fear that you will for all of these vehicles. Though I too don't have personal experience, I think they are pretty much all about the same for front seat size. I would...
