2025 6th gen 4Runner Official Reveal Thread

At least you can admit when you are wrong

 

The seat was all the way back...

 

TFL said it will be made in Japan.

 

That was old days, not anymore

 

Yes. But look at this way the space you sacrificed is helping the environment with the new engine

 

Oh hi you're here for the repeat shitshow?

The funny thing is Toyota managed to reduce rear legroom without even using the shock absorber seats like in the Tacoma TRD Pro.

 

My teenager did Rubicon trail with me in my JK.

 

Maybe they copied the new Frontier and added to the hood length to appear more muscular so subtracted from the back seat...

 

Someday, but for now, no

 

Yeah, I watched that as well, the whole cargo bed is raised vs the 5th gen, and then the rear sets fold down even higher than the already raised cargo bed. I'm going to wait and see it in person before getting too worked up about it.

 

I’m trying to figure out what is to be gained by the new method of folding.

 

Yup just like the LC250 and GX. It's a fail as far as I'm concerned, but, I don't have to buy one, so there's that.

 

Do you expect to drive your hybrid 50k miles a year like a taxi driver? If yes, good for you then, you will get 500k miles and 10 years out of it. The rest of us are shit out of luck. Plenty of old Priuses out there with dead batteries at 70k miles. Time and inactivity are battery's biggest enemies.

 

Can someone tell me if the normal 4wd 4runners (not TRD/TH) have metal skid plates? There a lack of info about anything below the Trail Hunter

 

Very valid point

 

Ha, I'm only teasing. No worries.

I'm guessing adding the LC250 for the US is done by either expanding the factory or adding extra shifts. No idea.

 

They went to plastic skids on the new tacomas.

 

But we should keep a 20 year old engine because though lol Some people I tell ya

 

Well I am off to sleep. Time to dream about an improved 7th Gen. Enjoy ladies and gents

 

WTF

 

If you move the seat all the way back in my 4Runner it’s not that tight. The rear door is clearly much smaller. Look at the side view of a 5th and 6th gen.

 

I have watched 3 videos and twice mentioned it had more room then the 4th gen Taco . And the 4th gen Taco has the same leg room as the 3rd. How tall is Roman , might have something to do with it if he's a tall guy

 

Maybe this is some young hip stupid lingo that doesn't make sense. WTF is coping? What are you coping with? Pain? Anxiety? Fear?

From the dictionary, coped; coping. : to deal with and attempt to overcome problems and difficulties. usually used with with. helping children cope with grief.

 

The space where his shoe is is definitely much smaller than the 5th gen. That sucks for getting in and out of and trying to load or unload gear from the floor. Why?

 

I’ve been a member here since 2017. I just don’t post very much here.

 

Doug's video shows the 2nd row tumbles forward, which probably doesn't leave 6 ft behind it to sleep an adult. On the "upside", the rear seats will be heated on the Platinum trim...

How many months do you think it'll take for paint to rub off around the snorkel?

 

Jeep went to plastic skids on the grand cherokee at some point. They started calling them "splash guards". I'm sure it saves weight because they are nothing more than a mud flap.

Not sure when it happened. My '04 overland had 2 solid axles, steels skids, and rock rails from factory. The '14 overland had full independent suspension, splash guards, and 20" wheels

 

Having more space than a Tacoma is a joke. Everything does. Have you actually been in the back of a 5th gen? Here’s TRD Jon struggling to get his leg out too.



Look at the difference in the rear door sizes.

 

All said and done these new 4runners may end up costing you 150k or more over a life time - on a depreciating asset. You will reach a point of diminishing returns and sales will stop. Cars will pile up at the dealerships.

 

You 6th geners, don't be such lazy fs when you get one of these with the swaybar disconnect. Head to a 4x4 shop and get it on a ramp and show us if it is any good.
