If Toyota really wanted to set the world on fire, they would make two 4Runners:
1. A fully redesigned model with all of the latest tech, green new deal turbo hybrid appeasements, better tranny, creature comforts, etc...it can be for Off-Road all the way up to Capstone (assuming the Capstone trim gets added to the 4Runner.)
2. An SR5 that gets the exterior redesign, the better tranny for fuel efficiency, a retuned 4.0 gas engine for more HP but retains all the other utilitarian (interior) aspects of the 5th gen.
#1 would appeal to everyone who wants a more modern ride and #2 would appeal to everyone who wants a superior 5th gen.
It will never happen because Toyota would be afraid the latter might outsell the former.
