Also, not sure if you have an attorney, but those rocks look scaleable to me.

Give it a go, bring your camera.

Thanks in advance.

Those rocks are completely scaleable, but you might have better luck repelling from the ceiling with a little mission impossible music. Just sayin...

Set the Camera to Rapid Burst. You might only get a few seconds before you get tackled, and we need as many pictures as humanly possible.

Let's also take into account all it says for the engine itself is 4.0 V6 - maybe we're getting a 1GR-FKS with a new tranny?! But honestly we would have to have someone take a picture of the signs Toyota put up for the other vehicles to see if they were more detailed than that for all but the 4Runner.

After June 1st, when I have time and all my future career obligations & work stuff is done, I will be bringing out new stuff. Two of them you can see the names of in my build thread, other not yet. One I am still on the fence about, but it addresses one of the larger "wants". Other stuff I will post a poll about to see if folks want, and update some research that I have done. I don't want to be placing large orders for supplies before that and have 5000 plus connectors that are useless.

My guess is that even if Toyota updates the 20's in large ways there will be large amounts of electrical similarities to play with.

Besides, I am sure we are all going to nit-pick the 20's and modify them anyways. Heck, even if I do trade it in, I give myself a month max before I am adding something or tracing wires (yeah, I know its a problem lol).

@Old Red ...that's great news. I've been waiting (as others have as well) to see what you have coming up next. It's kinda like Christmas!

Haha, my wife and I tried to climb the fence at the back of the vehicle to see if we could see in, but it was still too high. We're back home in KC now, but overall thought the Toyota display was lacking compared to years prior.

They put it so high because it is most likely 2019 model and they don"t want you to see that

Sales on current model incredibly high and Toyota probably doesn't see any reason to change anything until they start to see lack of interest. I predict no 6th gen for at least 3 more years. Also basing on new Supra (...ahem! BMW Z4...) stunt nothing will surprise me, even Asian market Fortuner as next gen 4 Runner.

Or they want to keep the rest of the info under wraps to make sure they can get the rest of their 2019 stock sold before they announce a 2020. Too big of an announcement with at least 7 months before the release of the new MY would possible stymie 2019 sales too drastically, if there are any power train changes.

gopro on a stick would work a bit better than scaling the rocks...could probably get away with a quick pan across the windows. Just sayin...

Wonder how difficult/expensive it will be to retro fit one of those radios in a 2012...

IIRC I saw a member that broke their center vent installing an aftermarket unit. They don't sell replacement vents so a new unit of the 2016 variety is $1300. If you check out Lawndart's old build, he posts how much used units are and those are the ones that you can easily find. It'll probably be a few years before the 2020s make it to the bone yard with the units intact...

Hi all. New member to the forum. Can't believe the 2020 Pro is on display. I just got my 2019 last week after waiting since July! Traded a 2017 Off Road which was great but this thing is awesome. Paying almost list price was something i never experienced in buying a vehicle but that's what it took. The 2020 Pro has to come in at 50k or maybe a little more.

If that 2020 makes it to KC's March 6-10 Auto Show I guarantee it will not be sitting on any rocks (host venue execs do not want stuff like rocks and mountains inside, just cars) I will take some pics. Stand By...

You also have to ask yourself: How much value does an 8" screen have over my new smartphone mounted in an accessible and viewable position? The user experience of Carplay or Android Auto may be a little bit better but I cant imagine it would justify a four figure cost.

I'll be at that one too, hoping for the same. I might just go after work since I work on the plaza.

That's exactly why I bought a mount that goes on the left side of the radio and use the stock radio still. Can't beat the looks of the stock radio
