There have been some rumors of the 4Runner (and Sequoia for different reasons) being discontinued after this year for the US market. Its due for a refresh but Toyota doesn't want to update it for the US market due to EPA MPG standards and the RoW doesn't use the same engines as the US (4.0L production is also ending). They would rather shift production to meet RoW demand than doing what it needs for the US market.
The sequoia will be have a MY18 its on the production calendar for trying safety sense standard. The runner was missing from that list, I feel like Toyota is just keeping it super hush at this point. They have the new 3.5 in the taco to transplant over to the runner.

If it does get the axe, I'm using my discount to buy one to resell like the FJ
