Alright, @wfo9 suggested it so here it is:

Make a short post outlining your prediction that includes:
1. Body Style
2. Drivetrain
3. Suspension
4. Models
5. Price

After a few days I will make a poll after taking the most popular choices that are similar. We will vote and bring this thread back up when we know more!

1. removable top
2. Turbo deisel
3. Icon Stage 20 eleven
4. Pro, Super Pro, Bro Pro
5. 1 miiiilion dollars

Ok I'll bite.

1. BOF - Prado and 4runner joins the Hilux platform, forming the big brother to the fortuner.
2. 3.5L V6 with ~300HP, 8 Speed auto, no manual option
3. IFS, solid rear with electronic locker, and KDSS option on higher end lines.
4. SR5, Sport (or new moniker), and limited. Possible even higher line to offset Lexus GX drop... We'll call it platinum for now.
5. 34K Starting tops outs at 55K on the higher side of things

I would say to add

for #2 I would clarify with
- Engine, configuration, size + (hp/tq) estimates
- Transmission (number of gears)
- Diff ratio
- Diff traction aids (mechanical locker, electronic LSD, brake activated traction control...)

Maybe add a bullet for additional luxury features like.
- Blind spot detection
- steering sensitive headlights....

Knowing Toyota, i think the 6th gen will be very predictable (pretty much the new Tacoma as a 4Runner). They don't really care much about this platform IMHO, They see it as a small niche product with no real future (milk it, but don't invest much). They will reach into the parts bin and throw some proven stuff they already have together.... Any R&D would be throwing money away. I also predict this will be the last BOF 4runner produced.

The entire auto industry is at a very strange point right now, the best performance cars and trucks ever produced are hitting the market as we speak (profits are up), but I'm afraid were about to see something like the 1980s happen again as the government regulations become a reality that cannot be ignored much longer.

Please use the SEARCH function!!!!

6th gen 2017 4R, will it exist?

6th Generation 4runner?

Possible 6th GEN 4TR in 2016?

You only found three? Amateur.

1. V6 Prado with the words "4Runner" on the back.

From an earliery post, modified to match the numbers:

1. Body:
   • The 4Runner and Prado will remain BOF but will change over to the IMV (Hilux/Tacoma) platform. Toyota has plenty of room in its NA lineup to satisfy CAFE 25 without converting everything to Unibody. However, this will probably be the last BOF generation.
   • The body will get more aerodynamic.
   • Optional swing-arm spare mount and factory secondary gas tank under cargo area like with the Prado (wish list).
2. Drivetrain:
   • Stock engine will be the 3.5L V6 from the Taco, tuned for 300hp. Trail and GX versions will have an optional V8.
   • Transmission will be 8-speed auto out of the Landcruiser.
   • Center Torsen Diff with AWD will standard in all 4WD models (wish list).
3. Suspension:
   • KDSS will be available across all trim levels.
   • They'll open up the wheel wells and relocate the body mount to allow 34's without major surgery (wish list).
   • They'll redesign the front anti-sway bar to allow off-road disco (wish list).
4. Models:
   • They'll add a new luxury trim level, the GX (possibly Platinum), if they discontinue the Lexus GX. Trim levels will be SR5, Trail, Limited, GX. TRD-Bro will be reintroduced at the mid-gen refresh.
   • All options will be available and interchangeable across all trim level. Third row in a trail, e-locker in a base SR5, etc. (wish list).
5. Price: 35k for base SR5 up to 55k for GX.

1. Body Style: voluptuous
2. Drivetrain: warp capable
3. Suspension: levitation
4. Models: old school Cindy Crawford
5. Price: first born child
