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!

 

http://www.newcarnewsandreviews.com/...nner-redesign/ some data here all speculation still imho.

 

It has to be better looking because it couldn't get any uglier than it already is. Jesus.

 

Lol I think the look ain't bad on the TRD pro and trail. SR5 thoughis rough. At least they spared the limited.

 

 

It has been sad to see Toyota succumb to the embarrassing, bad taste, cartoon big mouth look(pioneered by Dodge/RAM in the 1990's).
In architecture it's called "postmodernism", in car styling I call it "cultural senility".

 

Looks like something from Korea
that I will not describe here...

 

I do share this opinion.

 

guys, what do you think about this model? http://italkaboutcars.com/2017-4runner pretty solid, isn't it?

 

No...

 

The 4runner died in '86. After that it became a minivan.
