6th gen Speculation Thread

Somebody started a new thread with it because a sticky post is too hard to find.

I agree with what someone said about the 4RUNNER looking like an afterthought, but its easier to debadge that way, fixed the current tailgate rusting issue, and is better than going to stamped tailgates like every truck made these days

 

Not pointing fingers at any dudes here, but looking at comment sections on social media and car sites, seems like there are a lot of DUMB ASF people commenting (WAY TOO MUCH). I don't see comments like this on something like a new S-Class or 911. Such dumb shit is weeded out quickly and shamed for the trolling it is.

Makes the discourse here seem like the MENSA. I really don't get it. As interested as I was in seeing how everyone's reacting to Toyota finally (officially) confirming a 4Runner redesign, a lot of these peeps are woefully dumb ASF, that it's grating as hell sifting past the dumb discussions.

(I'd wager) Some of the same dumbasses were so sure, it was being killed off by the Land Cruiser or becoming a rugged reskinned Highlander. Going out of their way to ignore, rumblings of ongoing 6th gen development.

Grumbling about the lack of a roll down window (this early mind you), making up bullshiz about stuff not happening, crying about the Tundra and Sequoia meaning it's gonna suck, having the most over the top expectations of a V8 or V6 with removable top. Or if not, Toyota is the devil incarnate. It's never ending. Are any of you seeing the same thing?

It's pretty fucking obvious from informed insight all this time, it's a close enough update of the current 5th gen design onto the new frame platform and related to 4th gen Tacoma, with similar turbo I4 engines and nothing extra like the Lexus GX. (Gen 6 also has available 3rd row).

Anyone interested in the next 4Runner and missing those details ALL this time, definitely lives under a rock and maybe should shut up if they're not paying any attention. The tantrum throwing and concern trolling I've seen about the announcement is really annoying, as opposed to valid criticisms.

I like to see what everyone is thinking on what's coming down the pike and it kinda sucks to see SO much negativity!

 

Looks like they may succumb to extra plastic reflectors built into the rear end. Weak
And they’re not showing you high enough to see the new rear wiper

 

You mean the roll down window

 

I hope I mean that

deep down I don’t’ think they will delete the rdrw on the 4R. it would be a foolish move imo. it’s a wow factor, that makes them stand out

 

Guanajuato was designed from day one to build vehicles on the TNGA-F platform. They have been building the non-DCSB units for a while.

 

Coexistence is the key thing here. Balance of physical and touch screen.

 

Our Outback has the huge touchscreen and it sucks. Its not safe to need a mouse to turn on a seat heater

 

same with tesla! wtf were they thinking, some things MUST have a physical button for safety.

 

We had a 2022 just traded in. The physical buttons where mixed into the huge screen. And, the alarms for safety were pretty annoying.

 

Was one of the reasons I didn't buy yet another Outback. That and CVT.

 

OMG! I just cried a little.

 

Is April 9th the full reveal ?

 

I have read that from several sources this morning. So, yes.. Possibly?

 

damn ! not playing around now. Toyota is cranking them out. So when would they hit dealerships ? 4th qt 24 or first qt 25 ?

 

love the toyota on backside. Not sure what happens with rear wiper. Don't love the "higher" screen, I kinda like where it is on 5th gen.

 

"What do you need a rear wiper for? Window dirty? Roll it down!" -Toyota

 

Those little grooves are soooo unnecessary!

we all know how dusty the tailgate gets.

I imagine when you slam down the tail gate, all that dust will fly into your face, or into the cabin, when window’s down

 

Yep! Same as the taco..

but the. You also loose out on other creature comforts that are packaged together with the larger screen

 

The screen will get larger and the main gauge cluster will disappear in coming years. You see a preview of future mainstream Toyota design in the BZ4X today.

Never mind the seat heater. On the facelifted Tesla Model 3, you swipe up and down on the screen to shift between R and D.

 

Several sources

Gonna be a bitch to wax that area.

 

Are you serious about Tesla? Jesus!

 

More I see it less I like the larger screen.
Maybe they have not changed overall exterior too much, which in my mind is a good thing.
Silver railing? What's up with that? Maybe this isn't the top end pro trim?

 

They build primarily DCSBs and all manual transmission Tacomas. Basically the replacement for Fremont (Tesla) and San Antonio factories, that built all the manuals unlike Baja.

 

Not sure if anyone else caught what I saw, but it's only showing the front row seats. did they purposely folded the rear seats to showcase the screen?? or is it possible there will be a smaller 2 door version like a comeback for the N120/N130 series, since they are sort of going back to roots? that really caught my attention, specially after seeing the pre-runner tacoma prototype at recent auto shows, and it also seems like there will be a manual version. Just a thought!
