I've searched and can't find anything recent on the 2024. I've been told by the inventory manager at my dealership that the 5th gen will have a final encore for 2024, when I will likely be a buyer. I found some info on this forum a few months ago, but can't for the life of me find anything recent. I'm probably staring right at it and missing it. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

There is no info on 2024 4R as it will be the same as the 2023. If you want to read rumours about the 6th gen 4R look in the 6th gen section. There's a long thread on it.

Thanks. I am aware of that. I just was looking for any recent info on the final 5th gen year. At my age, it's likely the last T4R and/or vehicle I'll buy.

If you are looking for info on what the 6th gen t4r will have you should pay close attention to the next gen Tacoma release which was just teased and expected to debut this year and go into production late this year. We will see similar styling and direction in the 4runner. They are likely sharing the TNGA platform so will have similar specs / powertrains.

IMO between tech and hybridization I think buying brand new vehicles in the next few years is a terrible idea. There are too many vehicles getting refreshed / updated that you will either miss out on or if you get an updated model they will have new tech issues and kinks that need a few model years to resolve. All just my opinions, DYOR.

I don't think there's any word yet on what the probably final 5th gen model year, 2024, will bring. I think you can expect some kind of phoned-in trim similar to the 40th Anniversary that combines some stickers, a badge, maybe wheels, but that's about it. The thing sells well enough without changes, so I certainly wouldn't expect significant changes/upgrades for the final model year.

You can probably expect the price to hike a good bit. If you want a late 5th gen, might just be better to buy one sooner than later. 2023 already had a mid-model-year MSRP increase of $750 in January, and EPA fuel economy penalties they pay (and pass on to the buyer) are getting really steep for this kind of vehicle.

I'm not.

I agree, except in the case of the T4R I think we know that the next gen will be a four-cylinder turbo which I am not interested in. That's the kind of info I was asking about.
