Here is the upgrades to the Platinum. I can't find exactly what the Tow Tech Pkg includes but maybe the Brake Controller. I believe the Limited grade has heated and cooled seats standard, just like the 5th Gen.
As @Boobajoob has stated, IForce Max with FT 4WD standard.
From Toyota Press...
2025 4Runner Platinum and lifted 4Runner rendering.
From Toyota Press release:
Platinum slots above the Limited grade by adding unique black exterior styling elements, heated second-row seats, a standard tow tech package, Head-Up Display and automatic rain sensing wipers.
First look at third 3rd row seats (which as the discussion below confirms will only be available for the non-hybrid SR5 and Limited trims)
Also a first look at the cloth seats:
Both from the official Toyota Press conference reveal video
I am too but I doubt that it will happen. Toyota doesn't seem to like Full Time 4WD or front lockers. I was surprised they have FT 4WD with center and rear lockers on all trims of the Land Cruiser. My Rubicon and Bronco Badlands both had it and front lockers.
The TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro and the new Trailhunter version also get an electronic locking rear differential. The Platinum trim also gets a locking center differential that is optional on the Limited. New to the 4Runner is a front stabilizer bar disconnect that allows for improved articulation of...
I would like to see a base Trailhunter without the "snorkel" and the roof rack that it will probably have. I would bet the TRD Pro is going to have the IsoDynamic seats which take up too much rear seat room.
We went to see the general feel and look, seat position, width, and visibility. The new interior looks good but it did not feel as upscale as the current 5th Gen 4R. Attractive design but definitely more hard plastics. I'm not a big fan of tablet screens but it wasn't bad. I like the more...
Based on the spy shots it looks like the "A" pillar is going to have more of a slope like the new Tacoma and the 4th Gen 4R. I sat in the new Tacoma and current 4R multiple times at the auto show Friday and it is more raked than the current or 3rd Gen 4R.
That is true. But if they made heavy duty steel bumpers like the Rubicon or Badlands they would work better. Of course, based on the new teaser shots the 4R is going to have plastic "bumpers".
Great news! Thanks for posting, both of you. Here is a new video from David from Automotive Press with very positive speculation about the 6th Gen being built in Japan.
Just for reference to the Trail Dust color that I saw last August. I was expecting a shade of yellow but it is a Tan metallic. It looks really good in person outdoors. I hope it is available on the 4R.
The front windshield angle looks the same as the new Tacoma. I like the rake of the 3rd and 5th Gen better. I have a 4th Gen and it slopes more and the front side windows have less visibility. Also the Moonroof is farther back in the roof so it's not as visible from the front seats.
Is it me and my wishful thinking? If you look behind the rear window camo, Especially on the right side, doesn't it look like the same sliding window frame as the 5th Gen? That doesn't look like a pop up glass.
I also hope that the bar between the tail lights is just a decoy. I like the clean tailgate look with separate tail lights. I don't want it to look like a GX550 or Land Cruiser.
