"Fake 4Runners?"

For years I have noticed that when Toyota changes body style, all the OTHER makers follow suit! What ones have you observed?

I'll start with new Range Rovers.

Only a 4Runner looks like a 4Runner.

If anything the owners make them all look the same.

I think Range Rovers have changed their shape 4X's since the 4Runner has?

Some 4runners are disguised as Ford Raptors. At least at night.

Tahoes from the side... like a F-18 hornet vs. a super.

It's pretty common knowledge that automakers tend to follow similar design cues for the respective time. They are trying to sell cars to a population with specific tastes, after all.

That being said, I don't think the 4Runner looks like anything out now, other than a generic SUV from the side.

I don't think the 4Runner has any copycat manufacturers out there lol. It's shaped like a refrigerator. Who would want to bite off that design?

If anything it's the German manufacturers and high line luxury cars that do it most often. New 3 series BMW look like Lexus IS models and etc.

When you produce the same vehicle with the same look for over a decade, other companies will start to look similar
