6th gen Speculation Thread

How many times will you link the same video?

 

Good call.

The linked videos will continue until moral improves...

 

Thought this too.

Feels like he spamming the shit out of it, trying to get those viewing numbers up for his blog or whatever.

 

This strategy by itself is not a bad thing, In fact, all things equal, I’d prefer parts commonalities among the pick up and SUV versions, especially in regard to finding parts in the middle of a long trip, or as they age.

But the big concern is over flaws that will be shared across the different models on the platform.

 

Is is time to bring up the fact that the 4Runner started out as a Toyota pickup with a shell again, or is it still too soon?

The 5th gen 4R and 3rd gen Taco were probably the least alike, but the rest were extremely similar (and those two are quite similar as well, just different engine / transmission).

 

Legend has it the very first 4runner was made by Winnebago (RVs), after a dealer in Wisconsin asked them to gussy up a Toyota pickup. The rest was history.

 

Bagged lumbar support?

 

you are probably thinking of the winnebago toyota camper called the chinook and the trekker which was a modified hilux by winnebago. they were conversions by of a hilux surf into a trekker by winnebago per a dealer from 1981 to 1983 since the fj40 was discontinued

its semantics really

but toyota started production on the 4runner in oct-1983 so the trekker had to be discontinued from what i can tell

but reality was the 4unner was based to compete vs the bronco and blazer back then

 

It's already been brought up.

Edit: a bit of a late reply, but I just noticed your post.

 

Ford with new Retro Bronco package. Lolz

 

Its a $100k i bet?

 

When paired with the Sasquatch setup, the Free Wheeling package includes 17-inch alloy wheels versus the standard steelies, which are fitted to models without the off-road-focused upgrade.

Ford hasn't yet announced pricing for the 2025 Bronco lineup. While we don't know how much the Free Wheeling package will cost, we expect the Big Bend trim to start around $42K. Pricing will be announced at a later date, with the Free Wheeling-equipped Bronco available in January.

 

New Z28 and Shelby are being released.

 

Lolz

 

Because I am an old F... (fart, whatever...) I remember the early 80s with the Toyota with a massive camper on the back. At the time, I had a 79 HiLux with a 20R engine that was a fantastic truck. It was my dirtbike hauler. Fantastically reliable truck which was the reason I buy Toyotas recently. (Not now though...) The Winnebago on the back of a small Toyota pickup looked like an accident looking for a place to happen due to obvious weight and balance issues.

 

“Bold New Graphics!”

 

Was that released in June in honor of Gay Pride Month?

 

I believe it showed up in the past month or so, so naw.

 

And that's a "good" angle. Look at this shot. It's looks like a Bronco Sport that's hit the gym too hard.

 

That’s a great description, I love it.

It looks fine to me though. Like someone said “make a bigger, more futuristic Renegade” and for what the goal is, I suppose it’ll do.

 

Looks fine to me. I prefer that look over the 6th Gen. What’s it have for a power train?

 

EV platform -- "STLA Large"

 

I missed it, what vehicle is this? Those external hinges look like they are for removable doors. It would look kind of funky without doors.

 

Jeep Recon EV. It'll have removable doors.

 

Guaranteed I hit my knee on that lower hinge as I walk past.

 

No thanks.

 

that's a nice feature to have in the event of a lithium ion battery fire... makes for a quick exit.

 

Those hinge mounts also look like a good spot to put the jeep leg stirrups that seem to be so popular.

The headlights seem like they would take the “angry eye” treatment pretty well.

Not sure about the overall look though without doors. To my eye it only looks good on 2 door wranglers. A 4-door without doors looks mostly looks like a car being sold for salvage. At best, it looks like the tram ride at the zoo.

 

That might be what a lot of potential customers say if the EV incentives go away, which is likely after last night.
