2021 specialty TRD color?

[RichinRidgewood]

The Tacoma housing was redesigned for 2020:

It’s been my experience that you cannot replace the LED “bulbs” because there are none. The LEDs are on a circuit board that is typically bonded to the housing and reflector so the entire unit has to be replaced.

My personal experience recently was with a LED CHMSL, “center high-mounted stop lamp“. $150 for it and the trunk lid had to come apart to replace it when it quit. Typically this model failed because the circuit board cracked. It would be a $6 fix if it had a incandescent light.

You can clearly see there are several LEDs in the new headlight picture and a single bulb in the old.

The other thing I wanted to point out is that developing head lights is a very expensive and time consuming project. I did one in South America.

If Toyota spent all that time and money on an LED redevelopment for the 4R my guess is that the 4R will be around for awhile in its current configuration.

Lunar Rock Pics

Here are some pics of the new 2021 TRD Pro 4Runner in Lunar Rock.

How are the wheels different? Haven't seen a good enough pic to really tell.

According to press literature here: 2021 Toyota 4Runner, Sequoia, Tacoma and Tundra TRD Pro get out-of-this-world Lunar Rock color

The new wheels are flow-formed, which is a process that allows the barrel portion of a cast wheel to be lighter and stronger. FN/Konig has been doing this for a while, their six-shooter wheel is 17x8 but only weighs 21 pounds. In comparison, the stock wheels are closer to 30 each.

lighter and likely stronger wheels, sounds great! I'm wondering about the width and offset now

Are the current TRD Pro wheels flow formed as well?

Now just need a part number so the orders can begin!!! LOL. I am ready!

Yes! How long do you guys think before we can order the wheels and headlights?

 

[Cheers!]

A neighbor of mine down the street has the Lunar Rock colour on their Rav4. It doesn't look great on the Rav4. Maybe it will look better on a 4runner that is boxy?

Best TRD colour so far is the Inferno.

I think the lunar rock color is going to look better than army green. Army green is too shiny for my taste - Toyota should have made it matte.

The lunar rock color is matte and looks a lot like the Air Force sage green.

Are the current TRD Pro wheels flow formed as well?

No. They are low-pressure castings like most aluminum wheels. To be clear, flow-formed wheels also begin as castings, but the barrel portion is rolled into the final shape (cold-worked) for better grain structure. It's actually a great compromise of achieving nearly the strength/lightness of forged aluminum, with the cheaper cost of casting.

I’m so butt hurt over Toyota RE releasing the Cement I had to be a little biiiiiiitch and do this.

X2 I never liked the protruding cone-shaped center caps of the previous TRD Pro wheels, otherwise nice looking design.

Have the downmodel colors been released yet? Or are they just the same boring shades?

Every year the Tundra and Tacoma adds last year's Pro color to the palette for all the other trucks. For example, next year you will be able to get an army green SR5 Tacoma. But the 4Runner colors are one-off for each year... with the exception of army green and cement that are going to be available on next year's "Trail" model.

i'm extremely tempted to trade my all black 19 TRD ORP for a green or cement Trail if I can get one with a tan interior.

Yes the 2021 Trail is based off of the SR5, so it's less capable than the 2010-2016 Trail (which is the same truck as the 2017-2021 TRD off-road and Venture models).

Basically, it's just an SR5 with a Pro color and a matching cooler.

You also won't be able to get a tan interior. I believe the only truck you can option the brown (redwood?) interior is the Limited.

what if you keep the BLACK ORP and get TAN seat covers, transfer case boot, and steering wheel cover?

 

[blackened_offroad]

WACK.

oh well. the paint is shit anyway. maybe i'll paint it at some point.
