New Tacoma Trailhunter - What does this mean for 4Runner?

[Tundracamper]

I have to wonder what this newly announced Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter model means for the next version of the 4Runner. Can’t wait to see what features and partnerships (e.g. ARB) they implement.

You can even upgrade it with camping gear and roll those extras into your payment.

glad they did something good with the tacoma since they totally neutered the new tundras

Lots of tundra owners angry about this topic.
Quite interesting.

How so? Not happy about the V6 or about the Trailhunter edition?

A lot of features available on Tacoma and not the tundra

I'd bet they drop the Tundra eventually.

It's safe to assume the next-gen 4Runner will get all the same models and partnerships as the 'taco. That seems to be the trend with the previous gen 'taco (as in 3rd Gen, considering this new one as "current" now but I suppose that's a bit premature) & current 4Runner.

They had one at Overland Expo West

We all had to know that Toyota would come up with something that would once again dominate the mid size pickup truck market for overlanding . It’s in their DNA.

Probably a very similar engine, if note the same and comparable trims. The GX should be revealed first so that will shed some light.

Do you think they’ll use the same I-force?

Do you think they’ll use the same I-force?

It's probable, if not the same something comparable, with the hybrid available.

 

[Renegade]

Do you think they’ll use the same I-force?

I expect the same engine/hybrid suspension, transmissions minus the manual. This is based on reading the face of the tech I was asking the questions to while he said no comment but face suggested yes.

That would be fantastic.

No front locker

4Runners classically have been more trail ready than Tacomas. I’d expect a bit more rough and ready in the 6th gen. Side note, these new trucks are not very attractive.

Ah, you know the old saying, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and such.

People will still buy them.

Generally, you want to make the first batch of a new generation ugly.

The first new Broncos off the assembly line were all painted blue green baby puke with soft tops, for example.

Looks like they put a ton of effort into this. But those GM wheel wells are a deal breaker.

I'm thinking this will be quite similar, mechanically, to the 4Runner but I can't imagine they'll install an ARB rear bumper or anything similar.

I personally think for the money, a much better custom build could be done. Yeah there's supposed to be some factory warranty now but that's yet to be seen how it will really work and pay off. Now if money is no issue, then there ya go!
