Yeah and no dumb **** valances that rip off when they see mud. Valances should be for the Sr5's to make them more appealing. TRD OR and Pro's should have sr5 plastics for practicality.

Since it will be 2023, quadruple the grille size and add a turdo 4 popper with fart shift technology.

Make the whole car a grill. Forget the drivetrain. **** it.

I know I gain a couple extra horsepower when I deploy my fart shift tech to power me off the couch after too many nachos and beer.

Too many is just the right amount.

I have read rumors that it will be "joint" vehicle with BWM. Not kidding. But reverse of the Supra. BMW will sell a re-branded Land Cruiser because BMW has no meaninful presence in the off road capable market. And they want a vehicle for eastern Europe and the middle east. So they'd like a re-branded Land Cruiser. I could actually see this happening.

Seems sensible for BMW to want to compete with MB and JLR in those markets.

The focus on the off-road capable LC is just more ammo to believe that the next gen 4Runner will be castrated.

Really hard to know. I think Toyota obviously "gets it" that there's no reason to make another highlander. Toyota already has a highlander that's practically identical to the 4Runner in size. So the crossover version already exists and already sells better than a 4Runner. The closer the two become, the less combined sales will be. Toyota also owns Subaru, so the outback fits that slot between the two. As does a Forester in some ways. So there's not a lot of room to go soft on a 4Runner. It seems more logical to me from a marketing perspective to just have a 4Runner and Land Cruiser as comparable products differentiated by size primarily. Basically Tacoma and Tundra. That's what I'd anticipate.

I only have two probing questions at this point:
1. Does anybody make aftermarket bumpers for the 2023 Limited?
2. Also, will 285s rub?

No way. If it's a Land Cruiser it needs to have a split tailgate. I'd rather have the flip up window and a rear tailgate. That's the one feature I love about Land Cruisers. Leave the roll down window to the 4Runner.

Agreed. I don't think they can make the 4Runner (much) more like the Highlander. How does the Sequoia fit in?
