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?

Jeff I do think this is a good thing. Teaching salespeople how to interact with the customer and teaching them some of the features and technical stuff of the vehicles is important.
MKizzy If Tesla stops maintaining and expanding the Superchargers at current levels, imagine the chaos as more EV owners with high expectations visit crowded and no longer reliable Superchargers.It feels like at this point, Musk is nearly bored enough with Tesla and EVs in general to literally take his ball and going home.
Incog99 I bought a brand new 4 on the floor 240SX coupe in 1989 in pearl green. I drove it almost 200k miles, put in a killer sound system and never wish I sold it. I graduated to an Infiniti Q45 next and that tank was amazing.
CanadaCraig As an aside... you are so incredibly vulnerable as you're sitting there WAITING for you EV to charge. It freaks me out.
Wjtinfwb My local Ford dealer would be better served if the entire facility was AI. At least AI won't be openly hostile and confrontational to your basic requests when making or servicing you 50k plus investment and maybe would return a phone call or two.
