    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. :devil:

    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!

    I was wondering the same. Did they fold them down so the picture was a cleaner shot of the dash? Or what?

    There are strong rumors FJ Cruiser will be making a come back in the coming years,

    But this is the normal 4Runner we all expect from Toyota. Nothing too fancy. Nothing groundbreaking. Same engine and interior as the Tacoma. Even the back end doesn't look that different from the current one.

    They simply folded the seats down to show a better view of the dash.

    There is no way they'll do a FJ... they got rid of it to stop the cannibalism between the 4R and FJ.

    The multi-ton Cybertruck is controlled the same way.

    No likely to see any 2-door SUV from Toyota in North America. Combination of liability (easy to spin out), CAFE footprint formulas, and low customer demand.

    unless they do something drastically different, I am calling this tesla's top. They have nothing in the pipeline and competition is getting better.

    I think that's the LC250; you can see LandCruiser on the left side of the lift gate.

    Not the same back window as the 4R image / window video.

    I can't believe I am saying this but I like 550 exterior better than LC 250.

    Ironically, I was just thinking the LC is growing on me. I think the front end is still pretty goofy looking, neither headlight option is doing it for me.

    The front end! I find both round headlights and other headlights don't work for me either, and the grill is just...meh. Who knew removing that ugly ass hourglass grill would make such a difference with lexus, but it did!

    Maybe looking at simple 4R and Taco fronts for 20 years has burned a default Toyota look into my brain.

    Agreed. Not much change from the current design IMO. Which is a good thing. I really think the 5th gen design was ahead of its time and that is why it aged so well. HOWEVER, I do NOT like those Explorer-like tail lights :frustrated:. That could have been a better job.

    Good looking Land Cruiser. I bet she drives smooth.

    Wonder how long before someone tries to shove a IforceMax V6 into the new 4Runner.

    Yeah that makes sense too. I mean, there are 2 door jeeps still and tons of FJ cruisers who have made a massive comeback, specially in Florida. But who knows, I just thought it looked way too small on the back and seats to close to rear window, and since they are going all retro now.. would be nice !

    Tesla has made more improvements to the Model 3 in 8 years than Toyota did with the 4Runner in 15 years ;)

    Keep in mind the FJ has been dead in North America for a decade now, joining the two-door Tahoe, Isuzu Amigo, two-door Sidekick, two-door Cherokee, Honda Element...

    The new compact Land Cruiser FJ (or whatever it'll be called) is expected to be 4-door only.

    I'd expect the 2-door Wrangler to go away soon. It's already not stocked in Jeep dealers in 14 states due to CAFE pressure (2-door lacks 4xe option).

    I've seen these rumors... but let's be honest... they're NOT gonna put it in the same category as the 4R. No way in hell.

    If anything they'll make it into a Bronco Sport rival.

    EDIT: yup that link confirms what I said.

    I own both, guess which one gives off “well built” vibes and which one feels like the doors will fall off when I close them?;)

    What's going on with the mudflaps?

    Looks like some weights on the bottom and a random bar across the middle or I am not seeing this right?
