Unless they're reducing redline to 4500 rpms, I'm guessing that's from a LC150 diesel.
Looks a lot like the LC150 here:

Savagegeese has a great review on the Lexus on YT. The instument cluster and probably center stack are lifted from.
Its clear Toyota only did this for marketing the fact that toyota now has a full line of standard toyota safety sense. Fact is the displays are still old and way out of date. It's hardly worth updating an old model when a 6th gen is around the corner, upgrade it for one year?

FWIW - this is the instrument cluster of the best selling SUV in the world - new for 2019.
Would a full digital dash be cool? yeah, sort of. Is it meaningful? not to me. I'd rather have a nice center stack infotainment screen with more information available there.
I don't think we'll see a meaningful update until at least 2022 or 2023 after this. My bet is that push button goes to all 2020 4Runner trims as does the infotainment stuff.

2020 TRD Pro Updates - Army Green & Push Button Start
I believe that Jack Hollis mentioned certain trims would get it. I’m guessing SR5P, TRDORP, Limited, and Pro will get it. Push button roll down rear glass will be a great addition to the non-Limiteds. That is one of the things I really wanted from the Limited.
CarPlay/AA/radio upgrade are across the board. Not sure how navigation will shake out. Most of the entune 3.0 vehicles out there have the really terrible scout GPS app based navigation versus the built in nav that the 2014+ premium vehicles have. As soon as it is up on the TIS, I’ll be able to report back.

Do you guys think it’s worth trading in a 2017 limited for the army green 4runner? That color is so sick and the new pro has push start and play.

Isn’t that a financial decision you would have to make?

You'll definitely turn heads with that color. :lmao:

Army Green is pretty cool looking.
I don't get radar cruise. Had it on my Mazda 6 and turned it off. Maybe it's just an Ohio thing, but people here love to go around you on the 4 lane then slow down. With it turned on you end up going 3-10 MPH slower than you want when all you'd need to do is pass the jerk again.
What do all you guys do that need more tech? I get in my vehicle turn on AM radio or stream Tidal from my phone and drive from point A to point B. The only thing I do is turn the volume up or down and answer the occasional phone call. Occasionally use the nav, which is pretty good.

Not trying to be mean-spirited here... can someone explain the fanatical preoccupation with push button start? Does this feature do something more than just make it so you don’t have to turn a key? What am I missing?

Army Green color looks like sh1t:shrug::shrug:
its pretty nice once you've used it. keys never have to come outta the pocket. or they can hide in a cubby in the car somewhere.

You keep the keys/fob in your pocket the whole time, no fumbling with keys. Walk up grab handle and door locks or unlocks, get in push a button to go.
I like my PTS. All manufacturers are slowly going away from traditional keys. Soon the vehicle will just recognize its you.

Many of us with other vehicles have completely dropped the habit of EVER taking the key out of our pocket or purse. It’s ones of those once you have it you’ll never go back things.

It's super fun when it fails and the car cannot detect the key. Or when your swapping drivers to go in a store and the other person has the keys!
If you check Toyota's Facebook or Instagram posts its filled with people, mostly 20 something's that cant even afford a car but demand more tech. Some posts imply they trade cars because entune isn't any good or that another make has more tech.
I'm tech savvy, I had iPhone at launch and my wife had the first android but in the car I could care less and we drive 600 miles a week each. Reality is people want this tech but they never use it.

My 2008 lancer evolution mr had it but it didnt change my life. Bluetooth did though along with streaming audio.
I also have access to so many vehicles I cant keep track of what side the gas door is on and most start with a key. If you only use the same car everyday I can see that.

Man a 5 speed auto in 2022? Crazy that I bought it in 2007, 2014 and in 2019.
Push button start isn’t the deal maker. Proximity lock and unlock with kids is amazing. No more fishing for keys while you are keeping hold of the kid’s hand in the parking lot. It isn’t a big thing but it is one less thing to mess with. I also love it for biking because I can pack it safety in my camelbak while getting ready to go out and ride. Super annoying to pack the keys away, hop on the bike, and realize I forgot something so I have to fish them back out of the secure pockets on my backpack — wouldn’t want to lose my keys in the woods if I had a wreck, after all.
