Looking at the photos more closely and comparing against 5th gen, looks like the rear shock mounts are loc further inboard than the 5th gen.
I hope the rear window will slide down but honestly won’t be to big of a deal for me if they add the window lifting up.I absolutely do not mind if it's similar to the Land Cruiser however, the rear window needs to roll down. I know it sounds silly but that is a huge feature for my kids and our dog.
I hope someone catches it driving again soon but we get to see the front end. I would assume they will start popping up around Colorado, Texas and more in Michigan. I will see one thing I also noticed off the bat from the spy shots that it has the 360 camera system like the Tacoma. You can kinda see the camera’s if you zoom in.Looking at the photos more closely and comparing against 5th gen, looks like the rear shock mounts are loc further inboard than the 5th gen.

Think how Toyota changed it slightly from Tundra to Sequoia. That’s how I feel Toyota will apply it for the 4Runner. TRD grill wise it should have “Toyota” written across the Grill for TRD Pro. Sport and Off Road will get the logo.So, just wondering if any of you well prepared observers out there have thoughts on the front end (Grill) going to look like what we see on the Tacoma TRD?
Thanks...
Thinking about it, it does look like the same. Also another interesting thing is that the mesh cutout for the rear window looked to be Velcro in which could imply them opening it up if they need to test it at some point. We’ll have to wait and see other spy shotsIs 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 feel like the majority of the things we see on the Tacoma will transfer to the 4Runner unless Toyota has some surprises! Overall should be a great product just like the past models.Apparently the TRD Off Road, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter trims of the Taco get some gnarly running gear. 9.5" full float rear axle and a 9" front clamshell with a bunch of other heavy duty parts. If that makes it to the 4Runner we're in business!
Wouldn't surprise me since the new 2024 Tacoma is on sale already without TRD Pro and Trailhunter trims for sale... and not even their pricing nor MPG have been announced.I think if Toyota tries to launch this without the Trailhunter and TRD Pro versions ready for sale at debut they're missing the boat.
They might do a Tacoma and offer them at a later date. I feel like also with the inclusion of the Land Cruiser and it being the I-Force Max might want to give that model some breathing room to sell some models first before Toyota offers that engine setup in the 4Runner.I think if Toyota tries to launch this without the Trailhunter and TRD Pro versions ready for sale at debut they're missing the boat.
Knowing Toyota it probably has to do with their goofy allocation process and needing to have stock available before launch. Worst thing you can do is debut it and not have inventory I suppose. BTW: The Tacoma's Jan 2024 sales stats were the lowest sales for the model in over a decade-- and it's a brand new vehicle. I'm still peeved at Toyota over the lack of sunroof in the Rav4 Woodland Edition, let alone dealers not having anything to test drive. Had that been available we may not have bought a Bronco Sport.Wouldn't surprise me since the new 2024 Tacoma is on sale already without TRD Pro and Trailhunter trims for sale... and not even their pricing nor MPG have been announced.
Anyone have any idea why the delay?
But I agree, I hope we see a 2025 4Runner TRD Pro and Trailhunter versions immediately on sale at launch.
Might be the case. Makes me wonder then if the 4R is going to be a 3-row and the LC will be the 3-row?They might do a Tacoma and offer them at a later date.
