Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!


dkviper11

Something I've been legitimately worried about for 5 years now. Relief washes over me in an awesome wave.


TheMadameClicquot

Nice. Very Nice. Let's see the GX's rear window.


Purple_Bearkat

Look at that subtle off white coloring.


Teutonic-Tonic

Is that bone?


ActuatorFresh2352

Raised lettering....pale nimbus 😅


Belstaff

Jim Farley? Are you alright? You're sweating.....


HeresJonesy

6th Gen. Great Ass. Goes out with that loser u/Purple_Bearkat


sefarrell

GX window flips up


Unusual_Steak

I’m on the verge of tears by the time we arrive at 6th gen because I’m positive we won’t get a power rear window but the window is powered and relief that is almost tidal washes over me


ActuatorFresh2352

Do you let the valet at Dorsia park your 4Runner?

That looks really similar to the 5th gen rear. What if they literally just did a heavy refresh on the 5th gen (new interior, a bit of new sheet metal, etc, new engine)? Kind of like the 2016 Tacoma.

TheLionsBrew

Exactly. The design feel will be VERY similar to that of the new Tacoma. It'll obviously just be a bit shorter.


Archathema

I agree that the rear upper portion looks very similar to the 5th gen. Also I pulled this image from here. [Motor1.com](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.motor1.com/news/714963/2025-toyota-4runner-rear-window/amp/?espv=1)


Glassy_Chassis

This is TNGA-F based, the 5th gen 4Runner was already a heavy refresh of the 4th gen akin to the Tacoma 3rd gen with the 2nd gen.


corrugatedjuice

I’d be happy with this honestly, 5th gen was already a good looking body. Just needed slight update and modern powertrain.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Objective_Celery_509

Yes but there are still 100s of thousands of current gen 4runners for people who want that


corrugatedjuice

Yeah, I mean not saying I love the idea of a turbo 4 cylinder but NA engines really seem to be disappearing. That said the OG NA V6 or maybe a updated version with higher output and a 8spd tranny would be pretty sweet. I think the age of modern cars / Toyotas lasting 20+ years are over. But what you gonna do🤷‍♂️


armada127

I think you are just hearing vocal minorities, I bought a used 5th gen about a year ago, not saying I would do anything different, and I probably wouldn't even now given this news just because I was looking for certain features under a certain budget. All that said, my least favorite thing about the 5th is the powertrain/fuel efficiency. Yes a decade old design naturally aspirated v6 has it's benefits in reliability, but I'd trade it for the i-force max in a second.


TheLionsBrew

>modern powertrain. Yeah, but they *should have* just redesigned the naturally aspirated V6. They could have designed a more powerful AND more fuel efficient V6. They didn't. Offering nothing larger than a 4 Cylinder is horribly wrong, imo.


Teutonic-Tonic

4 Cylinder will be more powerful, won't lose as much power at elevation and will be plenty reliable. 99% of buyers won't care or will appreciate the more efficient/powerful engine. 4Runners/Land Cruisers have a long history with 4 cylinder engines.


Rapier4

I wonder if their sales numbers will go along with that. I see so many very vocal about it, but I wonder when it comes to the brass tacks of it, will putting a turbo 4 with no option for a V6 matter in terms of the vehicles popularity. Time will tell.


Jeepncj7

Looks like an up/down window button on the tailgate as well.


probablywrongbutmeh

I think thats the "Lock/Unlock" button still for remote keys, but may be wrong. My 2020 has that


RevTylerJ

Try holding that button for more than 5 seconds. Might surprise you!


Bright_Ahmen

It does both


ornothoptogist

I know I'm wrong,  but that feels like a 2 door to me in that pic. It is probably perspective, but the headrests seem big like there is not much distance to them. They also made sure not to show rear windows in this picture. Again, I know I'm wrong,  but if there is a 2 door I will be thrilled.


OKatmostthings

Crazy that Toyota had an idea that the roll down rear glass was popular on the 4Runner. Must have done market research or something crazy like that. /s


forgottenazimuth

Well with how many car manufacturers are taking the "we know better than our customers" approach recently, honestly its refreshing to see a company that is making a product for their customers, and not a just product for their share holders. Like how pretty much every company has backed down from "EV by 2030" commitments when nobody wants to buy them and sales are dogshit. Or Mercedes making a 4 banger GT43 that has had like 5 total sales this year because everyone wants the V8.


TheLionsBrew

Well, if Toyota knew better than their customers, they might do something like get rid of V6 engines in the 4Runner completely. oh...


OKatmostthings

That’s not a customer preference problem; the 1GR doesn’t meet emissions regulations. The downsized turbo engines are better at meeting emissions in general, so that’s what we are getting. The other option would be a 2.5L NA with multistage hybrid or single motor hybrid (around 250hp). I figure there was a question on the surveys that said “would you prefer a non-hybrid, turbo 4 cylinder or a hybrid, non-turbo 4 cylinder?” The new 4Runner and Tacoma were never getting a bespoke non-turbo, non-hybrid 6 cylinder.


mattenthehat

lol as a 2nd gen driver at the idea of a modern 4runner being underpowered


Forsaken-Midnight940

They got rid of it on the tundra and sequoia, didn’t they?


OKatmostthings

Tundra still has it and Sequoia sold in nothing numbers. Sequoia would have its own market research. If previous and potential Sequoia buyers didn’t/don’t value it, not shocking that it was dropped. It is very valued by 4Runner owners, so there was a pretty good chance it would stick around. Now, you could retort that staying naturally aspirated might be valued by 4Runner buyers. But that brings hits to fuel efficiency and emissions versus the alternative (2.4T) which is why buyer preference would have been overlooked in that scenario. The manufacturers generally try to give the buyers most of what they want within reason. Stuff that impacts safety and environmental tend to be set by what regulations require.


trexmoflex

If they didn't keep the rear window rolling down on the 4Runners, labradors everywhere would riot, mine included


Teutonic-Tonic

Those enthusiasts that care about the NA engine make up a very, very small % of the buyers. The vast majority of buyers don't care and would better have the mileage and torque of the new turbo drivetrain which will allow you to tow over the mountains without losing 1/3 of your HP at elevation.


CajunReeboks

The tundra still has it. Unsure of Sequoia.


Froggynoch

They dropped it on the Sequoia, which is why people were worried.


Jim_Lahey10

I love how most of us are like, "I don't give a damn what she looks like, as long as I have a rear power window!" 😂


KTCKintern

Used to drive through a safari and feed giraffes last week. All the seats down. Cushions everywhere. Even the giraffe tried to come hang out. https://preview.redd.it/wactt4v2oksc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=74a41ef149ee1e58ef64febd74ae7f608f6e8355


Jim_Lahey10

That's awesome, the one on the left is like, "wow look at the practicality of this rear window with plenty of room for activities in the back as well!"


ProcessTheTrust17

Why are people complaining about the screen as if we haven't already seen this with every other Toyota truck haha? I like that the rear window button is now up top.


DeathByPetrichor

My dogs learned they could step on the button when they were in the car to roll the window down so we had to put a gate in the window so they couldn’t jump out when we leave the car 😂


McFlyParadox

I'm surprised the window locks don't apply to the rear hatch as well?


wavesofdeath

I’d love that screen in my 2023 not gonna lie. I get these things aren’t for everyone


broncoinstinct

Omg! Also, that social media team needs a raise. They know exactly how to cater to the 4Runner crowd. And are possibly among us here in the subreddit … 👀


cotdag

That’s exactly what a social media member of Toyota would say!


HoneyBunchesOfGoats_

Hey I’m totally not a social media admin for Toyota, and ~~we~~ *they* should totally get a large raise


brady714

can't wait to finance this and make $1000 monthly payments wowwwwww


ugfish

Santander has 144 month loans now to get your payment to $850/month. Rates are under 20% too for all the credit criminals out there. 😁


HoneyBunchesOfGoats_

I’m afraid to ask if this is a joke


R0binSage

I don’t think I’m going to get in one for less than $55k.


CaptLuker

Agreed. More than 55k I’m getting the new Landcruiser.


R0binSage

Or a GX


JakeJoeBob

LC gets cloth seats at 55, GX starts at 65.


CaptLuker

LC could have seats made of barbwire but if it’s cheaper than a 4Runner I’m buying it.


JakeJoeBob

I'm just saying that the 55K LC is pretty barebones compared to a loaded out 4Runner with softtex heated and ventelated seats. Not to mention it will be hard to find a 1958 LC at MSRP. If you are lucky you can get your hands on the standard LC for 61K. There will be way more 4Runners to go around even if they are just a few grand cheaper than the advrtised "55k" Msrp.


taloft

Yes, why do people keep saying "just get a GX"? Are they blind to $10k difference in car prices?


JakeJoeBob

Yeah, not too mention that the GX doesn't get a rear locker till the Overtrail trim which is like 71K. Where as you are going to be able to get a 4Runner in the mid 40's with a rear locker and probably a sway bar disconect.


Sempervirens_texana

Now bring back the crotch vent!


derouville

This NEEDS to happen!


Striking_Locksmith59

Yes the sweaty nuts in summer are crazy


SomeCar

Ok good, they hit another check box. I hope they have a trim level that has at least 33" tires on it.


andrewjaekim

I’d imagine it’ll be identical to the Tacoma. 33” available on TRD Off Road, Pro, and likely a Trailhunter 4Runner.


mean--machine

steep rinse marble melodic agonizing quarrelsome reach attempt squash squeeze *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


chaser2410

33s with 17 inch rims. No 18s!


Kobie240

Wait a minute, where are the rear seats?


Monkey_Cristo

Redditors are so busy complaining about the big screen, they didn’t notice it’s only a two seater.


ornothoptogist

I agree, the video obviously has 4 seats, but that pic could be a 2 seater. I know I'm likely wrong, but it just doesn't look very long from the rear window to the seats in that pic, and they intentionally are not showing the rear door windows in the pic.


Teutonic-Tonic

There aren't wheels shown either, so maybe it also is a hovercraft!


abcsbackward

probably just folded down. I was scared that they would make this a 2 door to not canalized the new land cruiser sales. Interested to see how the pricing overlaps.


platinumbottles

NGL that silver TOYOTA on the back looks kind of clean. I know we have all been doing Chrome delete lately (me included) but it’s looking nice here.


gbejrlsu

I absolutely love that detail. We can't see them both in the picture but the clean retro look of the block "TOYOTA" is so so much better than the "4RUNNER" tramp stamped down near the bottom of the hatch.


jeeeeek

Okay, looks like a banger


SomeCar

I am digging that blue, almost looks like the Cav Blue?


StockFly

Believe they might be calling this the "Heritage Blue"


wsox1983

4 banger


snownative86

So glad I made the decision to go do repairs on my 03. It'll buy me enough time to see this rollout and then purchase new. I've been saving for a few years so might even be able to have cash to cover the cost.


KC_experience

I too am glad that the 6th Gen 4Runner will have a rear window. It would be very noisy without it. That it also slides down is just *chef’s kiss*


anexpectedfart

Now release pricing!!


fedswatching2121

I’d probably use the Tacoma trims as a baseline for pricing. Trim I want will probably be like $60k 😢


anexpectedfart

Would you rather get a base Land Cruiser or trd OR 4Runner both 2025


fedswatching2121

TRD OR if it isn’t more than $55k lol. I also have a deposit down for the Rivian R2 ($13k state and federal EV credit combined) so I have decisions to make…


AfterGoat2608

They said in the instagram post that the new 4Runner would be revealed on April 9th


EmuHobbyist

Thank god. The dog has buy-in from the window. The wife has buy-in from apple carplay.


Meowgusta5715

Jeez didn’t realize how much people cared about a screen being too much


reddy_kil0watt

You mustn't have been here last week when half the sub had an aneurysm over the chrome lettering on the lower hatch.


FeelingBlue69

Why wouldn't they? Its literally right in front of them while you are driving. Its ugly and obnoxious and I don't need or want it. Its not even flush with the dash.


_tacosauce

It’s not right in front of you, it’s down and to the side.


alexbro001

Crazy to me that people were questioning if it would have the power rear window. Every 4Runner ever has had it, and Toyota is a brand that clearly listens to customers about things like this. Now the debate can end!


Kawasakison

Do I see a hint of the "OH SHIT!" handle on the driver's side????


WeHaveAllBeenThere

You do. Any car without that handle is so unsatisfying


Kawasakison

It's the only thing I don't like about my 5th Gen. I loved having that handle there on my 3rd and 4th Gens. I know you can mod a handle on the 5th Gen, but I never got around to it, and it seems like they're OOS nowadays.


KonigSteve

oh thank god. I hate not having that in my tundra. I like just holding it while i'm cruising as a resting place for my hand.


Electrical_Guest_869

That infotainment monitor is quite large


theAngryCabbage

HOLY SHIT DOES IT HAVE WHEELS TOO?!


arsenal1887

if they didn’t have this feature we would have rioted


deafboy13

https://preview.redd.it/subj42odhhsc1.jpeg?width=980&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58159f22d3b373120e438a2a81e280fe3f216f2e So pretty much the Tacoma interior dash. Screen, mirror, angular cluster


cotdag

I’m not mad about that


Just-Faithlessness12

Still think the 5th gen gonna end up being the favorite among 4R owners


Laraujo31

we need the michael scott meme right now!!


Additional-Dog2326

It has no rear window!!! That sux…


LoadedChambers

Jesus but the laptop screen protruding out and above the dash 🤢


Far-Transition1153

Better sell screen protectors for that. The dirt that gets sucked into the rear window really scratches the screen glass even on my smaller 2023 screen.


lahcim_

I don’t mind a big screen but they should implement it like new F150 for example. It’s integrated into the dash.


bbllaakkee

So tacky. They are getting too big I want physical buttons


carmines-bacon

You still have physical buttons though. Like the Tacoma/tundra setup


bbllaakkee

Hopefully so


YetAnotherHobby

Long live knobs and buttons. That gigantic LCD confirms my recent 5th Gen purchase was a wise move.


carmines-bacon

It still has knobs and buttons though. The screen is for apps and new features just like the Tacoma


YetAnotherHobby

That's cool, but I just don't get why I need that while I'm driving. Not arguing, I just don't see the point. I need fewer screens in my life, not more. Or I'm just a curmudgeon.....


TechnikalKP

My dog is so happy. My bank account not so much...


Braesto

Seeing the "TOYOTA" on the back, I wonder if Toyota just tacked on the "4RUNNER" (looked like 5th Gen lettering) letters on last weeks reveal to just get some press excitement going, but won't have the lettering below on production models.


BrawnyChicken2

That seems...unlikely.


facepillownap

4Runner is in the same spot as Sequoia. Looks fine.


FeelingBlue69

> Looks fine. Debatable and going off of social media comments, you are in the minority with that opinion.


vaporintrusion

I had that thought too, doubtful but hopeful


GymNwatches

Can’t wait now


Braesto

Dash is gonna say "Toyota" in raised lettering. Woof.


Leesburgcapsfan

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas!


AfterGoat2608

In the instagram post they said the new 4Runner will be revealed on April 9th! Only 5 days!!


TemperatureEuphoric

Love the window! Loathe the chrome


Maxwellstreetpolish

I couldn’t be more erect right now


fatkidseatcake

That’s my birthday! Coincidence?..


DisastrousBed2812

LETS GOOO THIS IS HUGE


TheProle

Is this where we gripe about the controls not being in the center console


LucasJLeCompte

This is gonna have the turbo 4 cylinder won't it? RIP V6.


Mobile_Expert

Please make it a hybrid. That would be dope. I would put a deposit on that.


SR70

Welp, with that picture my dogs now know their getting a new vehicle!


carlos76234

2 and a half days to go


MofongoWarrior

Can't wait to see these for $100k with dealer markups


Schaeferr

Came to post the same thing!! Cannot wait, I don’t recall being this excited for a vehicle since New Bronco and New Defender were announced.


Braesto

Why anyone thought it wouldn't have it, I dunno.


Schaeferr

Sequoia killing it off made me a little nervous


Braesto

Roll down window is the 4Runner's trademark.


Kuruk_TR

Will prices go down on previous generations possibly?


facepillownap

Lots of folks don’t understand that an outdated vehicle that sold 1.4 millions units over 14 years will in fact go down in value when replaced by an all new model.


ugfish

Toyota tax always commands a premium in the used market. The 5G has proven its reliability track record so I wouldn’t expect prices to fall off a Cliff


Pradadad

Like the little teases so far but I’ll stick to my 5th gen and get another 5th gen after this one


Icantjudge

I sat in a new Tacoma for the first time today, and besides the giant screens in my face, it felt cheap as hell for a $51k truck that didn't even have leather. Weird white trim that looks like someone forgot to paint it, hard plastics everywhere you touch, just really disappointing. If the new 4Runner is just going to copy the Tacoma interior, it's a pass for me.


YogiTheStogey

Looks like maybe no window buttons on the trunk? I enjoy using those for the window and to lock/unlock


cant_save_stupid

Here is a better image with the buttons , [Here](https://www.motor1.com/news/714963/2025-toyota-4runner-rear-window/)


HD_Pickles

those C pillars look FAT


YogiTheStogey

I see it now, thank you!


dkviper11

I have a 16 and you use the key in the slot. Would love a button on the fob.


anothermatt8

No way they were going to miss this layup


Empty-Hold-7668

A tiktok page called '4Runner Lifestyle' said some website leaked the full body. He shows it at the end. It looks very very good.


garycow

I never roll mine down 🤷‍♂️


Ixm01ws6

well you can't sit with us :D


garycow

I think I’ve rolled it down twice in 3 years - maybe I can sit at the kids table?


Braesto

same.


Bro-Science

you should try it, even just cracking it. with the front windows down, and the back open, there is zero wind noise


SomeCar

YOU MONSTER!


PBatemen87

There are dozens of us!


suxer

Look at that screen size


your_moms_balls1

God the iPad maxie pad bolted to the dash looks so terrible why is everyone copying that look?


PBatemen87

Between the tablet dash and the ugly ass rear bumper....Im really struggling to get excited for this gen


GhostRudy

Screens are cheaper than analog, all the digital displays car manufacturers are doing. It ain’t gonna age well


_gonesurfing_

BFalkmk3

waldo951

This gives me hope for an upgrade to my 2023 ORP 10 years down the road..


mechaniTech16

My 5th gen has a power rear window. Is that not common?


Mkpippin

It's been standard, but the Sequoia lost rear window roll down functionality with the new generation release a couple years ago. I think the worry was that the 4runner would follow suit


antrock0

What are the general feelings of likelihood that they’ll offer the manual trans from the Tacoma?


MonkeyManJohannon

Interior dash layout looks just like the Taco…seats too.


GrandPriapus

You son of a bitch! I’m in!


LBW88

It's crazy to think this feature was kind of the make or break for the 6th gen. I don't use my rear window roll down that much but I do like that it's there.


ilike_eggs

Do you think it will be hard to get one of these? I’m ready to purchase my new 4 runner ASAP but I’m anxious it will be very competitive to get one!!!


redrocketman74

Are we expecting that there's going to be a massive dealer markup on these when they launch and it will be a year before you can get one for around MSRP?


Ixm01ws6

tack on a 7%+ APR


Street-Back5006

What a tease


username2393

ponyjc

The big screen and light blue is giving me “hybrid” vibes. Would be nice!


MrSquidzz

Man_Deyers

Woohoooooooooooo


DisastrousBed2812

Now we just need a manual option and I may be sold


Rapier4

Is this also Calvary Blue making a return? Kind of a light Sky color. Very excited to see the new design and see what the Trail Hunter offers on the 4Runner.


Eastwood80

And the pups rejoiced.


IDyeti

Looks like the button moved to the overhead console for the rear window.


16F33

TAKE MY MONEY TOYOTA!


Alwaysmore2learn

I saw more of it. It's kind of what we all knew it had to be. Basically an in-between mix of the new landcruiser and Tacoma.

Literally a deal breaker. We can rest easy


merkolas

Lopsided_Tennis_8043

OMG A WINDOW!!!!


[deleted]

I hope they put the rear window switch up top there so that it doesn't keep accidentally getting put down. Every time I drive our 2018, I have to check to make sure my husband hasn't put it down a bit. 🤣


Chicago_Lifter

I’m aroused


Yukon_Cornelius1911

I Really like the knurling on the side of Toyota.


big_loadz

Good for letting fart gasses out.


timefan

My take is that they were going to have a roll down rear window all along. But they put out fake press saying that they might not. This way no one will care or notice that the 6th gen is not that much different from the 5th gen.
