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?

Stephen Never had such a problem with my Toyota products.
Vulpine My first pickup truck was a Mitsubishi Sport... able to out-accelerate the French Fuego turbo by Renault at the time. I really liked the brand back then because they built a model for every type of driver, including the rather famous 300/3000GT AWD sports car (a car I really wanted, but couldn't afford.)
Vulpine A sedan version of either car makes it no longer that car. We've already seen this with the Mustang Mach-E and almost nobody acknowledges it as a Mustang.
Vulpine Not just Chevy, but GM has been shooting itself in the foot for the last three decades. They've already had to be rescued once in that period, and if they keep going as they are, they will need another rescue... assuming the US govt. will willing to lose more money on them.
W Conrad Sedans have been fine for me, but I were getting a new car, it would be an SUV. Not only because less sedans available, but I can't see around them in my sedan!
