Possible spy shots of 6th gen 4runner?

and..... here we go

 

If the power-train, as speculated, is based off of the same platform between the Tacoma and the new 4Runner, the exhaust exiting on the drivers side in this photo supports that.

 

How many ****ing signs do you need? FFS

 

Well, half of those signs are on a different road than the test vehicle, which seems to be approaching a mandatory right turn at a T intersection. It does not appear connected to the road beyond, which curves in from the left from beyond the T-intersection road.

 

Riddle me this Batman: How many signs to have one everywhere?

 

wut? have you ever driven on public roads???

 

Rear window doesn’t look like it can roll down

 

If you look closer, rear window at its widest point is wider than space between tail lights. So I think fast eddie is correct.

 

Small tires, and rear shock mounts look further inboard than the 5th gen, and more vulnerable.

At least there still a solid rear.

 

Welcome to Michigan, the United States little Europe with all the new round abouts that are so loved. Look kids Big Ben

 

Yep, you can see the lines of the vertical structure underneath extending well inside of the tail light covers. The whole point of the cover elements is to do things like that to obscure lines and features.

 

Decided just to repost everything since this thread is still getting used anyway. Also added a video someone was able to get of it.

 

don't think that video is of the 4 runner

 

I'd expect it to look like a smaller version of the new Sequoia. What I don't get is pricing on the new Land Cruiser. Seems like it's very close to what a 6th gen 4Runner will cost.

 

From what Ive heard its gonna look exactly like the 4th gen Tacoma

 

It looks like a roundabout to me and I'm sure we all know folks that need a little extra help at a roundabout!

Bonus points: LA was the only place so far that I have encountered roundabouts with stop signs.

 

Correct - that vehicle is a five lug.

 

Grand Highlander has that bolt pattern. It’s not the 6th gen

 

Last year for sure now. Get that before it is gone!

Def the last year. In my opinion the 4.0 was the best engines they put in the 4runner and Tacomas

 

Hope our resale value goes up, we got a solid V6 on our hands

 

The dual-VVTi version in 5th gens maybe, save for the SAIS valve failures. With years passing, the single-VVTi version in 4th gens and 2nd gen Tacomas is now prone to head gasket leaks. Timing cover leaks are also present on the overwhelming majority of them, though it isn't as onerous to reseal as the 3.5L 2GR.

Fun fact - with the 2.7L gone in the Tacoma, the 4.0L is now the most ancient engine offered by Toyota, originally designed at the turn of the century

 

No engine is without issues but the v6s and v8s are starting to get fazed out. Definitely an end of an era. Cold starts on the 4.0 sound like a beast.

 

^Beast or garbage truck? But yes the clutch fan roar will be gone with the T24A - going to an electric fan.

 

I'm guessing September release date. Gives me plenty of time to save for a new one.

 

Sept 2025 availability as a 2026 model?

 

Probably gonna be on dealer lots early 2025. Unveil in late 2024

 

I think they are going to quit making them.

 

And that is a roundabout for beginners. The "circles of death" one is only 10 minutes from that one.
