I sure hope the new 4Runner looks better than these pics…it shouldn’t look like a crossover, but an SUV.

@roberthoyt7921 Місяць тому

While it would get the same powertrain as the Tacoma, the next 4Runner may instead be mostly related to the bigger Land Cruiser 250 though hints of both the new Tacoma and the TNGA-F-based next-gen Hilux for the rest of the world. Kiss both the Fortuner/SW4 as well as the IMV platform itself goodbye.

If the Toyota dealer price gouging sticks around, the GX-550 Overtrail is going to be the best value by far. Most of the Lexus dealers in my area are selling at MSRP. If you purchase the Land Cruiser, and pay the premium, you can easily reach the base price of the GX and you will never recover that extra cost in resale. The GX also offers a bigger engine, nicer interior, bigger screen, bigger tires, eKDSS and Lexus is number 1 in the new J.D. Power 2024 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study. I put down a deposit for the GX 550 very early on and my dealer says that I should be able to take possession by late May or early June. In my opinion I'm getting a better vehicle and a better value than the Toyota offerings.

Take the Tacoma pricing and add $5K and you're in the ballpark of the new 4Runner pricing. Makes a fully loaded TRD Offroad no hybrid about $60K. There's going to be alot of overlap with Landcruiser pricing once you get into the hybrid and special packages like TRD Pro.

The 3rd row option on 4R will be enough to separate the 2 models from a "customer must have" prospective. As for model lineup, Tommy is right on point.....it will closely mimic the Tacoma. I would bet the hybrid powertrain will be an option on SR5 Premium, and standard on Limited & TRD Pro. The big question for me is if the manual will be available like on the Tacoma. IMO pricing of Limited & TRD Pro will overlap the low end trims of the LC.

@WOWDOWN Місяць тому

The render at 8:00 in the dark red color looks really nice, especially with those wheels. Definitely looking like a baby 3rd gen sequoia, but I like it. I’m biased to red Toyota suvs. I have an 06 sequoia in salsa red pearl which I love for over landing, so much space. I don’t expect it to happen but it would be awesome to see a two door 4Runner to compete with the 2 door bronco and jeep. The shorter wheelbase would be really attractive to the off-road crowd. I also think the two door versions of the bronco and keep look way cooler.

4runner and FJ cruiser existed at the same time before. FJ being related to the Prado. FJ had better approach and departure angles, slightly more ground clearance. 4runner had better turning radius yet being 5 inches longer. Main difference was the suicide doors on the FJ. I think the 4runner will be the smaller more off road one this time around but they need to do something to differentiate the two.

@europeanlegend9347 Місяць тому

I think the biggest differentiator between the two will come down to aesthetics and what people personally prefer in looks and styling. The 4 runner is boxy, like the land cruiser. But, still has that more "modern" aesthetic with the curvier edges. Where as the new Land Cruiser goes back to looking more retro than the current Land Cruiser Prado.

The new Prado and the FJ aren't comparable to me because the FJ has so much more character. The retro design, the vertical windshield and triple wipers, the 2.5 door body, the 6 speed manual, etc. distinguished it enough from the 4runner. The new Prado is just another (slightly smaller?) 4runner.

Tommy, the person you had dinner with and was upset about the Prado being passed off as a Land Cruiser (as a stand alone name) is a very wise person. No-one outside NA will ever mistake the new Prado for a "Land Cruiser". Toyota has actually put itself in a very awkward position (globally) due to its complete miss with the LC300 not being anywhere near the successor to the LC200, and other than the 70 series (which catastrophically is not available in NA), doesn't really have a standard-bearer for the iconic and legendary heritage of the Land Cruiser name. Going to be an interesting space to watch for sure. Here's to hoping that the new global Nissan Patrol stays true to name and function...

@TnFJ62 Місяць тому

I usually like and appreciate your take on things, but I think you all totally missed the point on this one. Having owned and maintained several Land Cruisers, 4 runners, tacomas and pickups, I don't think you distinguished what a Land Cruiser is and why it is special. It's not about capability or looks, yes it is different that way, but it's about their sheer reliability and simplicity. To me it seemed that you were more focused on looks and gimmicks of the new ones rather than what the brand was built on. All of these vehicles are a huge departure from what made them popular. And why we are seeing companies like Ineos popping up and having success.

between the highlander, grand highlander, 4runner, land cruiser and sequoia... toyota is really oversaturating their mid/fullsize suv offerings. especially when you consider all the trim levels of each model. shouldve made the sequoia the full size unibody, (in lieu of adding grand highlander), and kept the land cruiser, as its most luxurious 4x4 body on frame offering. i think that would help the 4runner differentiate itself more from the other offerings.

Will the new LC be built with the same extra-robust build quality designed to last a 25 year service life as previous LC models were? Or built more like all other Toyotas which, while still better than most OEMs, were still a step below the LC?

I had the original 4Runner with the removable back. Took it off once and never got it to seal water tight again. Great concept, but a complete failure in execution. But I do love my 4Runners. Got a 2022 Off Road now. And at my age, it'll probably be my last.

I imagine the new land cruiser (can we agree to call it a prado?) will slot in where the old 4runner limited was, we'll see how much they step on each other's toes based on the trim levels that are made available.

nice and great converstation, thanks for keeping it real!!

@joshgonzalez2112 Місяць тому

Land Cruiser if the 4Runner looks like that. But for LC money might as well get the GX.

@richardwray8478 Місяць тому

Share the Tacoma drive train and other features? Oh great! The grille shutter problems and that front differential failure are shared as well? No thanks! Reliability is most important, and will be staying with the 5th generation with V6.

Current LOW price on a 2024 Terra TRD pro 4Runner is $62k. Those dealer markups on the 2025 Pro are going to be painful to see and worse for the TrailHunter trim if Toyota carries it over from Tacoma to slot above the Pro.

Having sat in the GX550 and the Land Cruiser 250 i am absolutely convinced that I will buy a used Lexus LX600 when I have to replace my Land Cruiser 200. That dash with the giant screen is hideous.

@FeralPlumber Місяць тому

4Runner will probably go with that same 4 banger turbo motor too.......a smart person would offer both the V6TT or the 4T in the new Runner.......

@johnsierramusic Місяць тому

If the 4runner took hints from the new GX, I'd love it. I'd def like more masculine designs than what was shown here. Thanks for honest reporting - I keep checking everyday to see if Toyota's announced! (still holding out for the removable top LOL)>.

@roberthoyt7921 Місяць тому

I think Toyota might consider demoting the 4Runner to compact BoF SUV status to avoid overlapping with the new Land Cruiser 250.

@brucephilp3950 Місяць тому

Guys... the 4Runner and Tacoma are absolutely unrelated vehicles. Other than sharing an engine during a single generation overlap, there is no connection (and they have never been on related release schedules). 4Runner has a box steel frame, Tacoma had a C channel frame. The old Tacoma had leaf springs, the 4Runner is multilink. The old Taco had drums out back, the 4Runner discs. And on and on. The 5th gen 4Runner is a Prado derivative. This will be the first time 4Runners are derived from Tacomas.

@devildog5354 Місяць тому

That black front end on the base LC with the round headlights just looks unfinished in my opinion..

@astralzombie Місяць тому

I still think the 4Runner should have the same v6 as the GX to differentiate it from the Land Cruiser, it just doesn’t make sense to have two vehicles that are essentially the same size with a similar power plant at roughly around the same pricing range (let’s be honest here, a TRD Pro 4Runner will be at least $60k)…it just seems redundant for a sales vantage point.

@martinmoraga8133 Місяць тому

A v6tt in a 4 runner sounds awesome, but most likely not happening. And a trd pro maybe more like 70k if the sequioa is going for about 90

@brettv576 Місяць тому

I really hope that Toyota makes a 3 row version in the trd offroad model. There are really no good smaller 3 row off capable SUVs.

@danielrider7616 Місяць тому

I believe the current gen offers 3rd row option in SR5/SR5 Premium 4WD. A few items are different or missing over the TRD Off-Road, but it is still a VERY capable rig off-road. Once you figure out how to manipulate the A-TRAC system with throttle input, a locker isn't really needed. And most folks with either trim who frequently wheel have a winch anyway. Which is way cheaper than aftermarket locker.

@krane15 Місяць тому

I think its one thing to buy a car that you use as a toy on weekends and holidays, and something totally different for a single jack-of-all-trades vehicle. A single car owner would get the Land Cruiser because it comes with more creature comforts yet can play in the dirt if you need it to. Two (or more) car families, will benefit better from getting the cheaper and more basic trimmed 4Runner, just for that long weekend off-road excursion for entertainment purposes only.

@stanleyblazeraznik6047 Місяць тому

Wish I could get a LC or an LX at this point. Nothing arriving at the dealer and I hear markups are going to be ridiculous. My F-150 lease is up in August so I may just lease a Tacoma TRD off road or a GMC Canyon AT4X. I would love a new 4Runner but I can’t wait until 2025.

@exparrot9074 Місяць тому

I love the new LC, but the fact that it requires 91 octane is a big let down. For the money, and with similar operating costs, the Lexus GX550 is the better value, with a nicer interior, 50% more towing capacity, and an available third row.

@paulneil7321 Місяць тому

Motormouth channel said they got invitation from Toyota for 4Runner release and they believe that it will be only available in hybrid.

@johnwebb2232 Місяць тому

Judging from those pictures, the 4runner looks more like the high lander or a station wagon, most definitely not doing it for me. I will probably keep my 2016 4runner trail edition since she's given no problems, still looks new, and serves me all my overlandding needs. Love my 5th gen.

@jaisonswantek8853 Місяць тому

Don't much care for the new coming Land Cruiser, but totally agree with you that it would be awesome if the next 4runner brought it to Bronco and Jeep with a removable top. I'm really hoping they don't miss the mark like it kind of feels they have with the Tundra, Sequoia and Tacoma. I am interested in the next gen 4runner, especially if they knock it out of the park... and don't get even more ridiculous on the price of course

@jordanlawlor365 26 днів тому

I wish you guys would emphasis that this is a Prado, not the Land Cruiser wagon. You can’t compare it to the 200 series. It’s to be compared to the GX only for the US market. Comparing the light duty Land Cruiser to the station wagon or the heavy duty isn’t a fair comparison. Especially when there are so many who rely on your videos and take what you say as the final word…

@IWH8023 Місяць тому

Al I care is that they keep the rear window in the 4runner.

@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix Місяць тому

Somehow I doubt they will. They did away with it on the sequoia which really disappointed me. Toyota really isn't listening to their customers and the don't seem to care anymore. Their quakity and reliability are falling off pretty badly.
