6th gen Speculation Thread

By 2030 you can bet that the base price will probably be 50k with the Pro running up to 70k.

 

Never used it in two years??? Well, there’s your problem!

The first warm spring day you get, Roll down the back, and roll down the rest of the windows, and turn up the radio.

Adjust the side windows up and down until you get the perfect airflow.

Preferably, do this on your favorite back road, and get back to us

If toyota doesnt offer a roll down window, I’ll never buy another toyota again. Or at the very least, I will pout, or…. frown loudly.

 

I can promise it will look and perform way better than these. Of course, this is my opinion, and soccer moms are gonna soccer mom in whatever ride they get their deal on. As someone who actually rides trails, these aren’t an option.

The word “delay” has been thrown around so much. Quicker redesigns may be what the media wants (and customers hope for), but does anyone have a confirmed source at Toyota saying this thing was meant before 2024/25 or whenever it may be coming now?

 

According to the OP, it was originally set to be released in '22 as a '23 model, but got pushed back 2 years. This was based on a credible source, but not necessarily anyone directly involved in the development.

 

I do not know if this topic has been covered, but I am curious if there is any chance the 4Runner will be discontinued. The other day I noticed the 4Runner 40th anniversary edition is a 2023 when in my mind, should be a 2024. Is this a bad sign?

 

no it won’t. Toyota dealerships have received memos that 2024 model year shall be available.

 

Toyota seems to have a hard time with anniversaries. The 15th anniversary Supra came out in '97, 15 years after the 1st year of the 2nd gen.

 

Oh good. It was just a thought I had. I am pretty new to Toyota so do not have a feel of how they operate. I know previously there was rumors of a new gen for 2024 which prompted me to pull a trigger on a 2023. The sales manager I know did the same thing when he heard the same rumors.

 

Production year versus Model year + semantics of model name (vs grade) often get in the way here.
For 4Runner, the model year was 1984, but started production in 1983. Since the majority of 2023 will be covered by 2023 models, you get the 40th anniversary.
For Supra, what a cluster - I can't fully explain this one, but it feels like Supra was just a package (think: TRD Off-Road) on the Celica, despite it being "in the name" until the next generation started in '82.

 

The Supra was based on the Celica (A) chassis from '79 - '86. In both cases, the front end was longer and had an entirely different engine ("M" series I6 VS "R" series I4). So, It was the Celica/Supra until '85, and then in '86 the Celica went FWD and got a new chassis code, and the Supra kept the "A" chassis designation.

So, that doesn't really make sense to me.

 

Now everyone will be switch out tailgates.

 

So the Pro will be hybrid only?

 

Nobody knows the answer to that question.

It's all speculation at this point.

 

Not quite the reveal we were hoping for unfortunately.

 

Agreed.

I wonder what I-force MAX is all about, though.

 

Well, there ARE people that know. It just can't be shared

 

From the way it's going, those people probably don't even know yet.

 

I hope to learn a lot about the future 4runner with this Taco release. Good to compare the common threads with the Sequoia too.

 

That roll down back window is the 4Runner, the 4Runner is the back window. Who buys a 4Runner and knocks the one of a kind rear window, it's part of the reason I bought it lol

 

Hybrid. Most likely a turbo hybrid.

 

It looks like Toyota will be naming the truck based hybrids "I-Force Max" while car or unibody based SUV's get "Hybrid Max".

Exactly. I'm guessing this means the Tacoma Pro gets a 2.4L Turbo Hybrid. Perhaps it has a non-hybrid option as well. We'll have to see.

Next date I've heard for more info is late June. No idea how much (or how little) we'll hear.

 

Looks like we know what the 2024 Pro color is too. Any guess to the name of the shade it is?

 

So you think the TRD Pro Taco and TRD Pro 4R will have same engine?

 

I guessed Ice Edge 1K6 on TW
Used on RAV4 and TRD Camry

 

more than likely

 

I'm beginning to wonder if the 6th gen will add the 2.5L Hybrid as a motor option and follow the 2024 Grand Highlander:

Grand Highlander powertrains:

2.4L turbo
2.5L Hybrid
2.4L Hybrid Max (turbo + hybrid)

4Runner would just re-brand the Hybrid Max as "I-Force".

 

Anyone have thoughts on this??

It looks like just more renderings based on speculation. But, I don't hate the way it looks.
