It would be perfect for whaling trip to wallmart

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

@@ChristianC-gy1ym Porsche owners generally have more than one car, especially Porsche sports car owners. This guy seems to have an Audi RS3 and just likes that GT3 lettering. The RS3 is an absolutely badass car. My only issue with the 4Runner is that front snouty rear everything, and the embarassing TRD and Trailhunter trims. They look very childish. Sadly Toyota is in the stage of heavily emphasizing their brands.

[@ChristianC-gy1ym]

@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 Dont most people have multiple vehicles at their disposal? Or so I thought. Looks like my point still stands.... Mass produced street legal cars are first and foremost STREET cars. We just need to kindly accept the fact that a "sports" car is going to never see track time. That an overlander will live out its entire life in costco parking lots. A f150 will never carry more than groceries and occasional home depot hauls. For the most part. No need for immature overused tropes

The LC is the new Prado for other Markets, the lexus GX is the luxury version of the LC. And there are to Fronts for the new LC Prado, the heritage edition that is the one with the circular headlights, and the other version that have a horizontal headlights. In other markets come with a Diesel engine. It is assumed that the nature of the LC Prado is more urban with the possibility of off-roading, while the 4Runner is the other way around.

Loved his point about getting this specific take. I'm not on Larry's channel for all the tech spec or a boring vid; I'm here for the good vibes!!

[@paulm6481]

I think they nailed the looks. But I like to see some of the cheaper trims like SR5 or TRD off-road or sports that most of us can actually afford.

[@Andy_C_aka_Cliff_McCrawl]

I’d be stoked to see tours of the Mexico and Texas facilities! Loved the Tahara tour!

[@NorthweSteelheadJunkies]

LC 250 is a Global Platform while the North American 4runner added two more trims from before and two powerplant options. The 4runner like the Sequioa will not be a good 3rd row option unless it's in the more hybrid version due to limited space.

[@paulm6481]

That blue green color is beautiful

[@nickbrown7990]

the Land Cruiser 250 IS the new Prado in some markets, namely mine which is in Jamaica.

[@LucasJohnsonVisuals]

Anyone hear of pricing for the different models? I'm sure it's going to be a big bump over the 5th gens...

[@Loudlevin]

full power consumerism, i want my 30 screen , 200 sensor infotainment system while i transport my wifes boyfriends sister to her dance practice, i demand turbo supercharged hybrid powertrains that wisk me away briskly during my lease payment period.

So sweet looking and I like to hear all the new specs. Will be interesting to feel low end via 4cyl turbo and maybe some MPG bump. Also interested to see the tow capacity though… Glad to have Larry showing it to us first; the OG photog ❤ edit: stoked to see a third row option Thanks 🇯🇵 ✌🏽

[@peterargiros9508]

Allegedly 6k tow cap. 😊

[@digg3r74]

The 4runner stands alone, it still looks Rugged and unique in my opinion. I Love it. :) I will be trading my Limited for the new Limited 4runner. Awesome!!!

Trailhunter has Old Man Emu suspention, so heavier duty springs vs Baja style TRD Pro

[@soulsurfer8797]

Will the 6th Gen 4rnr get manual transmissions as previously stated in preproduction speculation news?

[@supfoo3638]

I love that lc250 they killed it with the design on those. Now it’s up to the dealerships to not mark em up 10k. Like the 4runner too good job Toyota as usual. That trail hunter 4runner is soemthing special. That thing is so sick.

What kind of range can we expect- what is the gas tank capacity?

[@NorthweSteelheadJunkies]

One would guess the 3rd row option will only be avalible in the non hybrid powertrains

[@Visher]

I was thinking the same thing. I suppose it also depends on how low they could get the seats/how thick they are. If they're essentially just attached to the battery cover with no rails, I could see them fitting it on top of it.

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

Nope. There are official images of the hybrid GX with a third row.

[@AF_Gulfstream]

Trailhunter = rock crawler/overlander. TRD Pro = Desert Runner. Trailhunter will be more expensive as I seen the build sheets as it has a lot more options/mods. Plus dealer mark up will be astronomical.

[@calikillz714]

Toyota is KING 👑 !

[@People-Business-And-Ideas]

When I saw the Trailhunter Flared fenders in black. My first thought was... and Ford, couldn't design this look in the retractable fenders, for the New Bronco? Just another reason why Toyota's a top 5 auto brand globally. And Ford's maybe #15.

[@GoldenSim27]

any of those has manual gearbox ?

[@finboyYYC]

Did Larry sell his lx570?

[@clintnaik]

I wonder if the 4 runner will replace the Thailand/australia/South Africa Fortuner

[@callenH01]

The difference between the 4Runner and Land Cruiser is mainly the interior width. If u need a 3rd row u can go 4Runner or jump to a sequoia.

[@MattJelonek]

Why not black non-gloss side cladding?....

[@Road-To-Destination.]

Thanks for review bud. A lot of gripes with the new T4R though. Cheap plasticky and shiny fenders. Large screen on the inside is a waste. I think a lot of things are a nice touch of an update but, drivetrain is.. well, missing what the runner should have. Let’s be honest here, Toyota would have had more sales if they went the diesel route vs the problematic Iforce that Toyota had with, and still has, in all of their vehicles. And one more thing, Tacoma has weak drivetrain, snapping transfer cases - wouldn’t be surprised if runner will not be better. Good review though.

[@DThomas1976]

I never roll down the back glass off-road or when I’m back on the highway, the sand from dirt road travel collects horribly bad on the back glass, even if you just crack it open, it sucks all that sand collected inside. I can only roll my back glass down when my 4runner is completely clean of sand, which is never.. Also I’m over 6 foot and sleep in my 2022 4runner comfortably. Those seats on the trail hunter fold down crazy and can’t sleep inside. That sucks.

Manual should be standard and a diesel option would be be cool but manual is a must

[@CoopaCoop]

Would love to find a decently spec 2024 Tacoma OR for 45k out the door.. but that will never happen, at least by me. Trd sports are going for around 55k sticker lol. Youll be at 60 by the time the dealer is done with you. A lot of them have 2000 dollar pin strip and door protectors And 2000 dollar "ceramic coating". Wild. They have like 5000+ dollars in stupid dealer options

[@MB1000]

Order one.

[@AntilleanConfederation]

@@MB1000or don’t order one unless is MSRP.

[@CoopaCoop]

If you go in and order one, can you lock in exactly what the price out the door will be? Iv never bought a new car and would be a little hesitant. Get it all done and built for say 43,500 and it gets delivered and all of a sudden it's at 49,500 (I know tax would be part of it). I was talking to someone and he said a dealer he was trying to use was giving him issues since he wasn't financing through Toyota. I wouldn't be either. Have a credit union offering 3% which is far better then Toyotas like 10% lol Thanks for the help!

[@AntilleanConfederation]

@@CoopaCoop sometimes ass hole dealer will add shit to the car before you take delivery. Be specific go over the numbers. When the car gets there and something is different and not in your favor. Walk away.

[@CoopaCoop]

@@AntilleanConfederation aye thanks for the insight man. Appreciate it! I'll have to go in and see what they can do about building one

[@gianmarcorinaldi8247]

Man, the commentary between these two compared to some of the other reviews is leagues better. Pretty sure they were only ones that have stated the obvious, of the LC is is the more mature car where as the 4Runner is the younger enthusiast oriented, boy racer, off roader. But guy's, the 5th gen also has a hidden wiper.

[@James-sir]

Where’s the manual is there one

[@heinrichwilliams2056]

What i find strange is them still having both TRD and GR for their racey offerings. Is TRD for offroad and GR for track? Next Fortuner and Hilux will probably look like these

[@INCREDIBULHULK]

well it is vesy odd it has two fascias one with the TOYOTA letters and another one without letters

[@WickWagon]

I'm excited about the midsize Toyota Off-road SUV lineup. Hopefully the rich go with the Land Cruiser and GX 550 and leave the 4Runner to working/middle-income people (I'm scared to see what's gonna be the base price lol). If the 6th Gen is priced ludicrously I have no problems holding onto my 5th Gen until early 6th Gens begin to depreciate lol

Better run out and get a Gen5. 2026 TrdPro doesn't cut the mustard. Cargo space compromised by hybrid battery pack. Rear seats "tumble" forward and take up too much space. Rear seat occupant leg room looks tight, especially on egress. Do you really need all the "tech" when you're hitting the trail? Tried and true Gen5 just can't be beat for the true adventurer. JMHO.

[@raldyjimenez3319]

If the 4Runner does not have the same windshield rake angle as the LC 250/300 then I would pick the 4Runner, instead.

@@AntilleanConfederation no, it isn’t. It’s strictly for water fording. That’s why desert race cars NEVER have them. It’s because they don’t go through water nearly as often as rally cars do, and that’s all a snorkel is good for.
