2025 6th gen 4Runner Official Reveal Thread

Try using your left hand. Looks like there might be enough of a void to grab.

You know, on the best gen, the driver had a handle too.

 

It’s a useless handle. I tried with the left, it’s just not doable. Lol, they seriously cheaped out on that? There’s not enough give to do anything with that handle.

 

It was designed that way.

Also found yet another place they put TRD badging, at least for the Tacoma. Interior trim of the rear doors. They went absolutely bezerk with the badging. Also says 'Tacoma' on the headlights.

Also, they have hidden tiny messages in morse code around various spots on the vehicle.

 

so tacky

 

I agree the Limited and Platinum feature set are nice to me as well, I would prefer the Platinum for the most options, but cannot stand the blackout look. I wonder if it will be available with normal trim color as well?

 

I like most of the changes.

The one thing I bummed about is the rear seat. I really like the ability to fold down the center section while leaving the driver and passenger sides up. That seems to be missing from this gen as it appears to be a standard 60/40 split.

 

Hard to fault Toyota for this. Look at all the people that add TRD to everything they possibly can........like TRD radiator caps lol.

Toyota just giving their customers what they want.

Does this really bother you? Seems like you're grasping at things to complain about with this one.

 

On the Trailhunter the is a video over on The Autopian where the author crawls under it and in one brief part you can see that the sliders are much like the 5th gen factory sliders wherein how they attach to the frame are not very beefy compared to what the aftermarket has to offer.

Not a complaint. Pointing out a feature some don't know about. 'grasping'. lol

I already stated i'm buying a new 4runner. Will be waiting for 2nd or 3rd year tho.

 

Fair enough.

Sorry to lump you in with all the others grasping at things to complain about.

 

I'm not as worried about waiting that long with it being built in Japan

 

Same.

Not really a waiting for the kinks. It's a money thing. I prefer to pay for vehicles entirely at time purchase and right now I just don't have the cash ready as it's wrapped up in investments.

 

I can’t get past that grab handle lol. My partner is small in stature she can’t get in without it.

 

I'm sure the aftermarket will make a new one. It's just a handle.

 

That handle… represents the car. Lol. To their credit, they added real handles to the rear seats.

 

Putting a tumble seat in a two row vehicle is just dumb and lazy. Either make two types of seats or don’t offer a third row option at all. Do they even sell many three row 4Runners? I’ve never seen one in person.

 

It’s pretty weird. It’s like a rock climbing finger grab.

 

Time to add an aftermarket chalk bag to the passenger door.

 

No it doesn't.

Remember when everyone was bitching about the 5th gen not having a grab handle on the driver side? What did they do?

They bought a grab handle and put one on themselves. It's not hard.

Did that lack of a grab handle represent the 5th gen?

 

It would make sense if it had a different angle to it.

 

Wow, Thought that dealership looked familiar. I just purchased my new 4runner from them!

 

If only Toyota had used a diesel like the 3.0 Chevy has, the 4Runner would have had tons of power and likely 26 on the highway. That would have had me rethinking keeping my 5th Gen.

 

It is BEYOND an absurd seat. Your head literally would touch the rear class if it wasn't for the headrest. You're in there like a pretzel, and worse. You'll get testicular torsion.

 

Where is the laughing face when you need it , Toyota literally just got caught lying about diesel emissions. It's never coming here so please build a bridge and get over it lol

 

It was a misunderstanding in translation. When told that 4Runner buyers were into Rock Crawling the designers in Japan mistook it for Rock Climbing. Simple misunderstanding

 

More handle gremlins, this is in the Toyota.com website, very WTF'd about it still.

 

Ironic I was wondering the same thing when I read this reply, lol.

 

Toyota had the 6g grill design hidden in this Easter egg for years!

 

Laugh away , you're in the 1 % when comes to wanting a diesel. The amount of emissions crap built into them now is not worth it . People whine about the cost of a battery in a hybrid to replace, if something goes on a diesel out of warranty it's thousands to repair.

 

Thank you for educating me enlightened one
