So many people hate on the Limited. It's full time 4WD which was the best choice for me; it handles great on the road. Not everyone wants or needs to go off-roading. The 4Runner's versatility should be lauded, not bashed. People with different needs can use it for what they want. I for one can't wait to see what the Platinum trim offers!

I really like the Trailhunter. For my off road life makes all the sense in the world. The TRD Pro leaves me kind of ... meah. It's only flashy. I was never a fan of Tacomas. To cramped and rough on the passengers, in regards to seats and suspension. But I have high hopes for the 4Runner and I am so happy they made this new one. Also, I appreciate that they are not cramming those 3rd row seats in the back, as they were never very useful, spacious, comfortable, and they ate a lot of luggage space.

The loops attached to the frame on 4Runners are not rated recovery hooks. They are just tie down points for the boat ride over from Japan to North America. The Tacoma Trailhunter has real ARB recovery points included in its build with a steel bumper. Both are missing from the 4Runner Trailhunter.

I also bought a new 1979 "Son of Landcruiser" factory 4x4 black pickup (1st model sold in the US). Again great build quality, but low range and poor gas mileage. I am really hoping Toyota will come PHEV version of the 4-runner and Tacoma with good range (having a decent range is a must have for me). These look really nice!

It'll be nice, I'm sure. Nice, and expensive. A little Toyota over-design all over but it's okay. The new beige 'dirtbag' color - whatever it's called, should be solid, i.e., no metallic flakes. Toy would be afraid of that. The rear plate visor looks like a cheap plastic toy. Those exterior rear window buttons look like they came off a blender. That rear 45° line on the lower back fender doesn't relate to anything. A little more industrial toughness and less plastic, please.
