"New" instrument panel:

First glance reminds me of a Camry cluster...

That's not a 4runner gauge cluster, look at the redline. That is likely a diesel model from another country.

While the redline is a good catch, this is the photo that Toyota just showed at their press conference in Chicago referencing the "redesigned tachometer for TSS-P in the 4Runner."

I assume the redline might have been some strange oversight, but I bet this design is what makes its way into the 2020.

Interesting. I'm heading to the Chicago auto show this weekend (wife and I's annual valentines day trip) Breweries and auto show. I'm hoping they have them opened up and able to see inside this year.

Awesome. Keep us posted. I assume they will have the 2020 4R on hand but heavily tinted and probably locked... see if you can snap pics of that new dash and anything else inside that might have changed.

If it's anything like last year, it will also be flexing on rock and on a stage so you can't get too near to look inside. Hope that's not the case though. I want to take a good look when I go.

Bring a drone with a flood light and HD camera.... WE'LL MAKE IT HAPPEN

Maybe they can install a Pedal Commander on all 2020 4Runners to make people think it has more power than a 2019.

I guess it's personal preference..Personally I'd happily sacrifice those large buttons to have more functionality and a better entertainment system. tech is all shifting to being screen driven anyway, so the buttons are pretty much dated from the get go.

I upgraded my 2010 tacoma with an Alpine 7" wifi touchscreen with Apple Car Play and my only complaint is the lack of a quick and easy way to turn the sound down. The volume buttons on the radio are push button and very small. I can also use the steering wheel controls to adjust volume. It takes far longer to turn down the sound either way compared to the original volume control nob.

Other than that minor complaint the new radio is 100 times better than my Tacoma's original radio. I'm thinking about installing one in my 2019 4runner.

If you change out your head unit to touch screen you may likely find yourself reaching for the non existent volume control nob for the first couple weeks.

Going to cancel my order/deposit on my 2019 TRD Pro which was supposed to be at Port on 2/13 and at dealership by end of Feb/early March.

Army Green is my favorite Toyota color. And I'm looking forward to the new Car Play/Android Auto. The rest of the features are just bonus to me.

Hope they don't increase the price too much... !

Is there any possibility that these are only the initial batch of changes for 2020? Maybe there will be more changes before the final MY2020 is actually released? Otherwise it's a bit disappointing that this is all we get, especially given all the speculation of new interior + powertrain for this refresh. Multi-terrain monitor would be dope, and a better cluster screen.

My fear is that they are going to just put the 3.5 from the Tacoma in the 4Runner which I hate. I'm buying a 2020 for the sole reason of it still having the 4.0L.

I paid my 2018 4Runner TRDOR last year, but I’ll contact my dealer to put a deposit on a 2020 Pro if it’s Army Green. Love love that color and would back into a car payment for it. Sounds silly, but there’s other features like push start and apple CarPlay I’ve been wanting, too.

Maybe they are realizing the 3.5 would be a mistake so they are doing extra R&D to upgrade the horsepower and improve gas mileage on Gen 6. Perhaps this is the reason for the delay. Who knows. Or maybe they are spending a lot of R&D developing the 6th Gen 4Runner and new FJ simultaneously.

My local dealer told me that Toyota had pledged to offer hybrid versions across their entire lineup, including trucks and 4Runner, by 2025. I would imagine any updates to the 4runner would happen closer to then.

Wouldn't be surprised if we saw it in a new version of the Tundra sooner than that though

Shout it from the roof tops

 

[Offwidth]

All I want is KDSS in the Pro

Yes. I would have gotten Pro with it. Though still would have wanted 1” rear lift, and aftermarket speakers (Focal my choice) and rails and bumper, and adjustable front shocks to compensate for winch weight, and different roof rack, and.. probably would have gotten ORP still. Since I like magnetic grey over all the toy colors anyway.

While I like the new center screen, umm the new cluster looks cheap and not as refined as the current cluster dials do.

I think Toyota only used this photo to show the new center screen. The cluster is not from a 4Runner as it shows a diesel engine.
