Meh. Would have much rather gotten the refreshed 70 Series that was announced for the rest of the world.

I'm curious what direction they are going to take the 4Runner.

I'm guessing lower starting price, worse engine options, and no lux trim options to slot under the new Prado. 4Runner gets the base i4 only, Prado gets the turbo i4 hybrid, GX gets the TTV6. I wouldn't even be surprised if they canceled the TRD Offroad and Pro trims too, just keeping the TRD Sport appearance. If you want the lockers you need to step up the Prado while the 4R becomes the "rugged mom car".
But yeah Toyota having 3 of the same SUV feels a little bloated. Maybe the 4Runner will get phased out or become just a Prado trim. Especially with the Grand Highlander taking a lot of the non-offroad 4R customers. |

I like it and they'll sell extremely well. It's a very clean design and Toyota gets that we need buttons to operate vehicles, not touch screens. The wealthier 4Runner crowd will upgrade to this. This truck is just a set of wheels and AT tires away from looking pretty damn good, IMO. I commend Toyota for recognizing that the LC costs had gotten way out of hand and that they were missing the mark/need of their real customer base in terms of the costs and the styling.

My brother has a 4Runner and would definitely be interested in this. The 4 cyl will help a lot with the crummy mileage these cars get.
