6th gen Speculation Thread

Quoted for truth. The above is why I’m here.

 

because they like to piss me off with stuff they should have never got rid of

 

Production ended as of 2023 to free up factory space.

Toyota FJ Cruiser Production Ends After 17 Years
https://www.motor1.com/news/663139/toyota-fj-cruiser-production-ends/

 

Why are you saying solid axles, there is no mention of it in any of the articles?

For the 10% - 20% of enthusiasts that say they would buy solid axle, the 80% - 90% of the modern, urban customers, the ones that make models profitable, they want IFS comfort. I just don't see solid axles happening. If you want solid axle, buy a Jeep.

 

They still produce the 70 series for other markets.

And, for all of the people who complain about IFS, I wonder how many of them have actually been in a situation where IFS limited them.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love a solid axle 4Runner or Landcruiser option in the US, but I don't know if there's really a demand for it.

The turbo motor is a 2.4. There are reliable turbo motors out there.

Why not put solid axles under the 4Runner rather than reboot the silly FJ cruiser, though?

 

People weren't buying them. Why would Toyota keep producing something that doesn't make them money just because a handful of people on truck forums think they're cool?

 

I don't expect to see any SFA Toyotas in the US anytime soon. But, I would also say that a lot of average car buyers probably wouldn't even notice the difference between IFS and SFA handling qualities. Look how many people buy Jeeps just because they look neat.

 

Just a quick update that the 2024 4Runner has officially been announced by Toyota and as expected........it's still a 5th gen.

Thanks to @birdawesome for breaking this news on another thread.

This should be a very interesting year for 6th gen speculation.

We are getting close to the pointy end of the stick.

 

Boooo
This AutoEvolution 2025 4R renderings
Mehh

 

They look great! This 4 runner will look like a Tacoma with a cover. Just be prepared for that
I have seen a better render then this though.
I think his name is Kirk on youtube

 

i thought that was name of the oem no? like new RX and NX have "LEXUS"? I kinda dig that.

 

With that rear wiper, no roll down rear window. Oh well, not planning on buying another one for 20+ years.

 

You might when Gas I'd 10 dollars a gallon lol

 

Haha! I hadn't noticed how bad it looked until you pointed it out.

The bottom 2 look the same, and I think they look pretty good.

 

This isn't even new news , give me something I haven't heard for the last 6 months lol.
I don't even believe he spoke with an engineer

 

British Columbia gas hit $9 per gallon CAD (well over $2 per liter CAD) this year lol
I burn 18.5L/100km and I'm OK with it lol

What I'm not OK with is losing the rear roll down window!

 

Take a look at the very first post of this thread. We had this information more than 2 years ago now.

The only thing that has been sussed out a bit more since then is what the hybrid system will look like. It will be the same iForce Max found in the Tacoma with 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque! And it might only be available on Offroad trims and above.

 

10 dollars a gallon would be 2.62 per liter...your math sucks
If your ok with that then I feel bad for you lol

 

I said $9 bud

 

You shouldn't feel bad for me, my wife and I's income can afford it

 

I live in bc , it was closer to 8

 

Since you're a fellow Canadian it will probably be 20 dollars a gallon by then lol

 

I'm not lieing. It's been near 2.40 multiple times.

 

I mean I did have to take math 11 twice lol
Maybe this is the right math, either way I rest my case ↓

 

I only saw it hit 222.9 last year , I'm in kelowna but again your a Canadian so expect a way higher price in 20 years then 20 a gallon lol .

 

Honestly in 20 years you probably won't be using gasoline with a petroleum base. It will probably be some sort of carbon capture

 

I'm sure you're right
Petroleum is the devil
Same with the sun monster
And now natural gas stoves lol

 

I wouldn't say the devil , it's the way the world is going lol. AI will probably wipe the planet out by then

 

I'm joking. I could go for more petroleum, less AI. And less Tesla's jamming the hov
