6th Generation 4Runner. Is the 4Runner Dead in 2016?

Jayota · 01-02-2013, 07:16 AM

A Friend of mine showed me an article stating that the 6th Generation 4Runner will be taking the path as the New 2013 Pathfinder. A Low to the ground Uni-body Crossover/Wagon piece of !@#$%. I really hope this is not true.

Put a link up to the article...

I doubt it because there already has a platform for this type of "crossover" and it's called a highlander.

I wish they would build me 1 more 2002 SR5 in white!

I have not cared for any 4runner since the 3rd gens to be honest. The 4th gen was just barely tolerable with the right mods.

there was an article i read about an engineer of Toyota working on the LC. he mentioned that the next generation of the Land Cruiser MAY become a monocoque but no final decision has been made as yet

Wow, dejavu... Didn't we have this same conversation a few years before the 5th gen came out?

Monocoque isn't the end of the world. Look at the Heep Cherokee. Lots of guys wheel those. Mind you they have a front solid axle still.

I saw it in paper form. It was in Motor Trend's Truck Trend, Nov - Dec 2012 issue, on page # 15. This time I think it's for real, since the pathfinder has gone that route for 2013. Sad, very sad.

You'd think that since the JK Wrangler has been such a success for Jeep, that Toyota would bring back an FJ40 equivalent, and no the FJC doesn't count. I mean a real modernized FJ40!
