looks a lot like the latest GMT900 trucks to me. particularly the rear 3/4 view and some of the interior.

I'd say with proper maintenance most any new vehicle will make it to to 250k miles.
Barring any unexpected happenstance and excluding notoriously unreliable models, I would say this cannot be argued.

All of them, apparently, since Consumer Reports no longer automatically recommends any new or completely redesigned Toyotas for precisely those reasons.

I'm anxious to see the rest. The teaser pics look great! Looks more retro/squared off like a modern FJ62
The leaked C&D pics have it looking more like a Highlander
Either way, it would be nice if they offered the electric locker from the FJC.

I created this threat but it somehow disappeared from my watched topics
anyways, more pics
I'm guessing this will get negative responses, but I'm withholding my opinion for a while. When the current gen. 4runner came out it took me a bit to warm up to it. I think I will end up loving the design. The cargo area is pretty awesome.Calling Turbiodiesel!

Wow?
It's like a Highlander on roids. That humped a ??
#44
I like.I'm sure its going to be astronomically expensive.
#45
I wonder what will become of the Tacoma, considering it's just a truck version of the 4Runner. Looks good, I didn't like it at first, but its a handsome truck, I'm glad they kept it looking like a truck,
#46
Being objective I think it looks how an SUV should look. However the similarities to the Highlander overshadow the attractive elements because of the impression I have of the Highlander. Strange, I know. Much better than the gross Sequoia. Would like to see a built-in antenna at this price.

So.. it's like the latest Landcruiser had it's way with a current gen 4Runner.. not loving it yet.. will hold judgment till I come across it in the wild..

Love child of the new Highlander and Landcruiser. It looks like.

No more Tacoma connection, I believe.

Cross your eyes and tell me that is not a Sequoia... as an owner of an '89... they have lost sight of what a 4Runner is... Hummer is calling, they want their business strategy back.
#52
what i dont like is how the greenhouse and everything below the beltline is not in proportion to each other.
#53
Looks to me like the fender is pushed into the tire....immobilized.
#54
Its growing on me actually. Put some REAL tires on it though, the tires Toyota puts on the 4runner are absolutely useless.
#55
Those bulbuously tumorous looking headlights bother me
#56
Well, it doesn't make me want to vomit... that's a start.

I never understand how auto manufactures modernize a car/truck by adding projector lamps, led tails etc.. but then go back to huge ugly multi reflector headlamps and incandescent tails with the next version?
#58
I like it. It looks the way a real SUV should.
#59
I'll wait to see it in person before I judge it, but I'm not sure the point of the cargo area having a slide out tray that probably can only support 150lbs.Also I never find pictures to be a good representation of a vehicle.

One more pic (different color)

Yeah but the one in the Nitro seems better designed.. like it's integrated into the trunkspace.. the one in this 4Runner looks like an afterthought..

Okay, It's not pretty, but I'm kind of digging it in these newer pics. It looks less Highlander-ish and more like a Tonka Truck.

The more I see the pictures, the more I like it. I need to see it in person to see the size tho ....
#65
I like it, is an improvement!This:
is way better looking than this:
I like the rear part stands up so when you pull the tray, stuff don't fall backwards.

I like it. Looks much better than the original teaser led me to believe. Now, what's that cube thingie in the rear cargo area? I see that it has 12v outlet in it, but there's got to be more to it than that?
#67
All they are showing is a new Limited model so far huh?SR5?
Base?

Probably to place the optional converter they already offer in other vehicles like the Tacoma and FJ for example..

Looks like its getting increasingly utilitarian, like the Xterra.
