2020 T4R Predictions - 04/08/2019

[qs933]

2020 model codes include a 8667 (8668 is Limited and 8669 is Limited Nightshade edition) which has a "Venture" title and also has an Overland option.

Wasn’t “Venture” a Chevy minivan from the 90s?

The RAV4 has an “Adventure” trim level.

Thanks for sharing; anything else interesting that you’ve found now that 2020 ordering started?

As for this site, given how many people are suckered by click-bait sites for the “6th gen 4Runner,” maybe it’s a way to cash in on those clicks? I agree that it’s dumb, but I’m not the one paying the bills for this site, so who am I to judge?

Toyota wouldn't send us anything via email but would confirm they are working with their Yakima partnership to get a unique roof rack for this 8667, and will most likely feature the TRD gunmetal wheels. I figured it wasn't going to be anything crazy.

What I'm most excited about is the reintroduction of the beautiful 06V7 color, also knows as Army Green!

All I know is if they finally wise up and put leather with cooled seats in the Pro I'll be about $50k poorer.

Until then, I'll keep my money (and my softex-sweaty ass) lol

Venture is not part of nightshade for 2020, it is its own model number. Available in all the SR5 colors.

Other than Army Green for the TRD Pro, any other new colors for 2020?

No. The 2020 4Runner will get Android Auto, Apply Carplay, and TSS. That much has been stated by Toyota. And yes it is still a 5th gen.

Although the article mainly talks about the TRD Pro it mentions that all grades of the 4Runner will receive those updates as well.

We recently spent a few days in a 2019 Tacoma TRD Off-road and also test drive a 2019 Tacoma TRD Pro during the same trip. All I can say is maybe the 4Runner also needs the 3.5l v6 and 6spd auto!

I think it's kind of amazing that at 4 months out from delivery we still don't have any pictures of the new interior with the revised infotainment featuring carplay and android auto...

They’ve done a pretty good job of keeping them hidden, though from all indications, the only exterior indications of a 2020 appear to be the TSS equipment behind the logo (or the plastic panel on the Pro) and windshield. They could be testing them in plain sight and most people wouldn’t notice.

I’m hoping LED lighting and Blind Spot Monitoring appear, but also know realistically 1) they probably would have mentioned it in the TRD Pro auto show reveal (I mean, 2 additional USB ports made the cut for the press release, so seems like they were reaching for something, anything, to talk about) and 2) no reason why they would add them to the lower trims and not the TRD Pro.

Yeah it just seems strange that if the only real changes are TSS added, and the inclusion of Apple Car Play / Android Auto with a larger screen. It seems strange that they wouldn't have shown the new infotainment... I suppose it might be in order to keep sales strong through the summer if this is a feature they think will make people wait to purchase, but at some point you have to show it. It seems like the first time we will see the interior is when they hit dealers.

I’m thinking it’s probably just a matter of cost. Too costly to have a one-off built and in a condition ready to show the public.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the plastic panel “hiding” the radar sensor on the 4Runner was just a mock-up. If you look at the windshield in the photos, it lacks the tell-tale camera cut-out found on just about every other Toyota with TSS.

Pretty sure the "Venture" model is a 4R with parts from Artec on it upsold at a premium price.

My guess they're waiting to see how people react to the bronco. If people go crazy for BOF 4x4's again they'll make it even more rugged.
