It's about time they finally updated the old dog 5th gen 4Runner. That thing has been around since 2009. I never could stomach the styling on the 5th gen, but the 6th gen looks promising. I was hoping it was going to be more of an SUV version of the new Tacoma though...

I will be honest I kinda hate the looks of the land cruiser hopefully it doesn't look like that. ?‍

I’m sure it will be very popular. Doesn’t it overlap with the Land Cruiser though? Similar size, capabilities, etc… ?‍

I have a feelin' they're going to make it a bit smaller and cheaper. Otherwise it would definitely cross lines with the LC.

BTW, looking at the pricing of the LC. It seems the Lexus GX would be the better deal. It's very similarly priced to the mid and high range versons of the LC but comes with a more powerful engine.

Oh wow. I wasn't aware the pricing on those two was that close. That leaves plenty of room for the 4 Runner...

Yea, my wife wants to potentially replace her Jeep with the Land Cruiser but I'm trying to push her to the Lexus. The 4 Runner is something else we'll be considering.

It kind of does look a lot like the new Land Cruiser.

It is astounding how much life Toyota managed to squeeze out of the 5th gen. I don't know if it's impressive or sad at this point - and I've owned almost every generation of them.

Convince her to get an R2 instead?

To me, it was definitely sad. The poor 4Runner is about as non-tech as you can get at this point. I mean, the thing still has a 5-speed transmission in 2024. Reliability is great, but come on now....

The Lexus GX seems so much better than the Land Cruiser and doesn’t appear to be in as high of demand. When I compared the two a while back, the Lexus was a no-brainer for what I was looking for. Admittedly, the LC might be better for some, but the small price difference makes it really hard to opt for the LC. Seems like a weird pricing strategy to me.

SAVE THE MANUALS!! Doesnt mean its old it just means some drivers still love the stick.

It’s a 5-sp slushbox in the 4Runner.

But I’m with you - we will own a manual transmission vehicle in this house until I die, and probably after. My daughter just picked up a 6-sp manual ND Miata RF.

 

[ironpig]

We have a 2015 4Runner. It's a very solid car we will probably drive until it dies. But it's very old tech for better or worse. Going from the Rivian to driving the 4runner makes the 4Runner feel so sluggish that it's unenjoyable.

I love Toyotas, but I will be surprised if the new one is very compelling now that the LC is smaller and Hybrid. They will have to neuter the 4Runner in one way or another.
