I just emailed the Toyota PR team and asked if there would be a broader release for the 2020 4Runner with images of the new interior. I work in the industry so I expect I'll get some type of response - I'll share it when I do.

2021 is not the 6th gen.


Otherwise, I was really hoping for a little more. There are little things they could do, like LED headlights, that would make it more appealing... and they chose not to. Adding Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Alexa and TSS-P are nice features, but I'm not sure they are enough to carry this thing into 2020 and beyond.

If I am not mistaken, the reason that the 4Runner and GX have gone without TSS-P for so long is that the system requires electronic power steering while the twins still have hydraulic. One of the reasons I asked Toyota if there would be a broader release is that I'm curious if they had to re-engineer the power steering system to accommodate TSS-P or if they found some other work around.

If there was a powertrain update, I would have already contacted my dealer this morning. However, without that, I don't see much reason to change just for infotainment and driving aids. I originally bought the Limited because I wanted JBL audio, sunroof, push button start and ventilated seats... now you can get 3 of those 4 things on the Pro. Figures.

...There's still 5% of me that's thinking about trading mine in and doing an Army Green TRD Pro build...
