I wonder if this will hold true for the Tacoma? However, the previous generation Taco is a lot closer to the new than the previous 4Runner is to the new generation. The new 4Runner is essentially a Tacoma with a different body, reverting back in this regard to when the 4Runner was just hatched.
A totally boxed frame, so hopefully Toyota is more successful at corrosion/rust prevention than in the past. To me it seems a no-brainer to super-coat the frame, especially the internal areas.
Bronconomore, what is your opinion/experience regarding corrosion susceptibility between a body-on-frame and unibody? Of course TigerEyeJazz would not have an issue in Florida, but in the U.S. "Rust Belt" this is a critical concern with the frames.
Also interested! The 2024 Land Cruiser, with presumably the identical drive train, recommends, but does not require, premium fuel. In other words, to achieve full power, premium is needed, but the engine will adjust accordingly for regular fuel. This is the way it should be with modern...
Was just viewing a YouTube review/opinion from Kirk Kreifels, and he alleges the is a marked difference between the LC and 4Runner, the LC being much higher quality interior-wise, even comparing to the 1958 trim. I find this difficult to believe, as other reviewers have reported the LC 1958 trim...
I am curious why the non-hybrid appears to have a vacuum-boost brake system, and the hybrid does not? Which is better? I would think the latter, but opinions please...
I'm in for the Platinum. Precisely as pictured! However, not 100% onboard with the all black wheels. Chin delete - immediately! Not going to be cheap, as the power running boards alone are roughly a $2K feature.
Agreed, that front spoiler would have to immediately come off. On the Taco it is very easily removed. A test indicated it was good for something like 0.7 MPG.
Subjective, but I like the styling much better than the LC. The GX550 looks better than the LC, but of course only in my opinion.
May have to go with the Limited trim to avoid the black fender cladding. Will also wager the Limited will have full-time 4WD, and with a bit of luck, power running boards.
Yes, I viewed this. Sounds great. However, reading some other posts, including on The Fast Lane Truck, there may be a few issues, early production or whatever.
Many will want the legacy roll-down rear window, but not me. I can testify from operating off-road in extremely dusty conditions that silt migrates down inside the sliding window area, a bad thing.
Have not done much off-roading either for a while, and that was on an ATV most recently. Heck, some of the new Toyota vehicles essentially drive themselves, with Crawl Control, etc. Would sure like to give it a try!
