QOTD: Ready for the Next Toyota 4Runner?

by Tim Healey

Published: April 4th, 2024

Vehicle launches happen all the time. But only a select few seem to be highly anticipated.

Any time the Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Corvette gets updated, for example. Or something bread and butter like the Honda Accord or Toyota Camry.

Another example -- the return of the Ford Bronco in 2021.

Now we have the next Toyota 4Runner. We've had at least two teasers already. I know a lot of y'all like the 4Runner -- current or classic -- so are you feeling excited for Toyota to unveil the next-generation version soon?

It's a simple question today, so sound off below.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

The first and second generation had a tailgate that the window rolled into, that feature is mostly forgotten for this hatchback w/ rolling window which started with Gen 3. The J100 and 200 Land cruiser had the split tailgate+hatch which is awesome.

Looking forward to it... but worried about the sticker. Like the Bronco, anticipation was sky high and the product was solid. Unfortunately the dealers were able to get obscene prices via an add-on sticker to the original MSRP which was reasonable. Next thing you know, Ford jumped on the bandwagon, raised MSRP multiple times and presto a nice Bronco was a 60k plus proposition. Can Toyota avoid a similar fate?

Mike Beranek In the sedan game, it's now either Camry or Accord. The rest are just background noise.
Theflyersfan I know their quality score hovers in the Tata range, but of all of the Land Rovers out there, this is the one I'd buy in a nanosecond, if I was in the market for an $80,000 SUV. The looks grew on me when I saw them in person, and maybe it's like the Bronco where the image it presents is of the "you're on safari banging around the bush" look. Granted, 99% of these will never go on anything tougher than a gravel parking lot, but if you wanted to beat one up, it'll take it. Until the first warning light.
Theflyersfan $125,000 for a special M4. Convinced this car exists solely for press fleets. Bound to be one of those cars that gets every YouTube reviewer, remaining car magazine writer, and car site frothing about it for 2-3 weeks, and then it fades into nothingness. But hopefully they make that color widespread, except on the 7-series. The 7-series doesn't deserve nice things until it looks better.
Master Baiter I thought we wanted high oil prices to reduce consumption, to save the planet from climate change. Make up your minds, Democrats.
Teddyc73 Oh look dull grey with black wheels. How original.
