Dunno if you saw this mod, I haven't done it yet but it's in the works for the very reason you stated:

Probably neither for the next gen. I'm betting its electronic with switch on the console probably... just like every other new vehicle.
Guess I better hook mine up then and get rid of that damn thing.
what emergency stop?
There's a $12 sensor you can buy to replace the blank on top of the dash in the center. The plug is already there so its plug and play. Mine auto dim with the lights on after adding this.

I agree with the above.
I would also like to add:
-Ditch two of the five 12V outlets for dual USB 3.0 Fast charging outlets. Put one in the center console for the front passengers, and one in the back of the center console for the rear passengers.
-Hid headlights and fog lights should be standard on every 4x4 Toyota with a "4 runner" badge.
-what is the point of the elongated little cubby (looks like it is made for coins, or a pen) on the center console in front of the shifter? Nothing I own fits there (phone is close, but it would never stand up in there anyways)
It is 2019, how is my 2019 Toyota 4 Runner SR5 less equipped than my wife's 2015 base model corolla?

Many 5th Gen owners complain of the 4Runner being underpowered by the offered V6 engine. I prefer my vehicles to be extremely underpowered, so please bring back a 4-cylinder option.
I also find this 5th Gen 4Runner has too many doors. Please bring back the 2-door model from the 1st Gen.
Speaking of that 1st Gen, I also prefer a removable top. The currently offered sunroof just doesn't cut it. Bring back an option to pop the top!
And what is with all of these USB ports and power outlets in the 5th Gen? At least you could have left me my cigarette lighter. Bring it back!
And this silly back-up camera! The picture is sharp when I look at it on my navigation screen, but I can't for the life of me find the button that allows me to print the picture like a polaroid. Please make the button to print easier to find!

I think this needs to exist at some point!
You know... take the backseat and rollbar out, enclose the cab, install a drop down tailgate and you've got something better than a Tacoma! I'd buy one.

One thing I've thought about but never tried, mainly because I'm too chicken to hack up my 4R, is install a couple of downward facing led lights in the rear "spoiler" or whatever it is called. There has been a couple instances where I was loading bikes on the hitch mounted rack after dark (and before sunrise) when I really would have appreciated some light back there to see what I was doing. Would be useful for hooking up a trailer too.
Speaking of hooking up trailers... MOVE THE TRAILER WIRING HOOKUP OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE DAMN VEHICLE!! I hate standing on my head or getting on my hands and knees to plug the trailer wiring in! The guys who thought of AND approved that should be punched in the balls once for every 4Runner sold with this setup!

Here is my list :
-Better paint quality
-Remake the center console ( 4th gen were more userfriendly and efficient)
-Automatic climate control ( I had this in my 97 Maxima and even in my 87 Maxima )
-Electric tail gate
- Rear trunk storage . (4th gen had close compartement and were better )

Here is the part number. I paid 12 bucks on ebay, but I am sure my part is not oem. I've had it for two years now and it works great. There is a little round plug at the top of your dashboard, pop that out carefully and replace it with this part.

Here you go. Replace the round plug at the top of your dash with this one, you should have the wiring plugged into the dummy plug, but make sure you have the wiring. Supposedly a few people did not have it.
