I believe all 6th Gen 4runner will be built only in Japan at the same plant as the 5th Gen 4runner and the motor will also be built there to.

I'm curious as to what makes you suspect that?

I would bet on Guanajuato, MX for assembly but I won't venture to guess on engine build as we don't have much to go by yet. It's a NA/SA market vehicle that might have the most in common with the Tacoma on the new platform. We are all just guessing of course.

They didn’t say, but I assumed it was an LC and that it, in turn, was the inspiration for one of the renders.

It's the '22 Land Cruiser GR Sport, not available in the US. Rumor has it, that it may be an LX option in the future though...so add another $30k on top of the already six-figure LC price

No split tailgate - better for loading groceries, at the expense of a level workspace.

So you're saying that the new Bronco is not off road capable because it doesn't have a V8?

Saw a video from one of the engineers at the Japan plant explaining possible new designs for the 6th gen 4runner and it included a possible 4 cylinder turbo, 4.0 V6 might be used and also hybrid.
