I can't believe they cheaped out and put plastic "Skidplates" (really nothing more than splash shields) on the TRD OR.

Here's a review of a Gas non-hybrid 4wd Limited. The transfer case shifter has 4hi Full-time, 4hi lock, and 4lo lock positions. So the gas-only 4wd Limited, is equipped as you hoped.

Exactly.

I would say that's a mistake in the online builder. It says that the gas Limited has Full-time 4wd. That means it has a transfer case. So at the very least it would have the high range ratio of 1.00:1. Unless Toyota is going REALLY cheap in their de-contenting, and eliminated the low range...

I looked at a TRD OR in Ice Cap, today at Mark Miller Toyota in SLC, UT.

The full-time 4wd 4Runners (available in Limited and Platinum trims) have 4hi Full-time, 4hi locked, and 4lo locked. So yes, the differential in the Transfer case of those models can be locked in 4hi, and by default it locks in 4lo.

In 1997 I bought a new 3rd gen SR5, V6, 4wd, 5-speed manual, rear diff locker, Moonroof, factory leather, premium sound, etc. It's MSRP was $34,000+. According to the Consumer Price Index, that is equivalent to just over $67,000 today. About the same MSRP as a 6th gen TRD Pro, or Trailhunter...

I think that dealership has gotten too carried away plastering their name on the vehicles they have for sale.

Thanks for the reply. That is very disappointing to hear they are plastic. I want to like the 6th gen, and I'm trying to find a reason to replace my 5th gen TRD ORP, but cost-cutting measures like that aren't helping.

So are you saying that the stock TRD ORP skidplates are plastic?

I bought my first 4Runner, a 3rd gen SR5, when I was 28. I had an SR5 Extracab 4wd Hilux, and an FZJ80 Landcruiser before the first 4Runner. It seems like yesterday... I have a low-mile 5th gen TRD ORP, currently.

I am not sure that I am going to buy a 6th gen 4Runner. I need to see one in person and drive it to decide. I used to work on Toyota's at a Dealer, and have owned many of them. Including a 3rd gen and 5th gen 4Runner. The 5th gen TRD ORP is very low miles, so I'll either be keeping it, or...

My 5th gen TRD ORP has a Moonroof. All of my previous Toyota trucks and SUV's have had them too. I use them regularly, and wouldn't have bought those vehicles without one.

The payload sticker should be next to that plaque. Are those door panels hard plastic, as they appear to be? Congrats on being the first owner I've heard of.
