Is a couple months away (ok several) what do people think will be done, besides switching around some colors?

The Taco had a mild update in 2009 before the 2012 update. From wiki: "A minor facelift came for 2009, including a slightly revised grille on some models, new LED taillamps, and on the X-Runner, TRD Offroad and TRD Sport models includes smoked headlamp trim. Auxiliary audio input now comes standard. The Access/Double Cab trucks have two new ceiling mounted speakers and available backup monitor. Four new exterior colors are also added to the Tacoma." The Tundra got some minor changes (grille, taillights) in 2010. Definitely minor, but they did have slight updates. The biggest update was the new 4.6L V8 for that year.

I hear Toyota will make standard equipment the following:
Rear bumper cupholders
Anytime -on fog lights and DRL's
Rear airbags
Interior LED accent lighting all over the place
Rearview camera switches
Always-on 12V outlets
...and even
Super high-flow custom airboxes

What, no rear tire well cargo storage? That does it - I'm buying a jeep.
Common man, you know damn well the only change will be Auto Head lights!

If Iran follows through with is plans to stop oil exports and gas gets to $5 a gallon or more they will just kill off the 4runner. Iran to halt oil sales to 'some countries' - CNN.com

I have a strange feeling we will be killing a bunch of Iranians before they kill one 4Runner.

I'm surprised that no one mentioned the new auto-drive feature for the LTD.
Just program the destination into the NAV, hit a button and it will take you there all by itself while you take a nap. If you hit home and you've programmed the Homelink, it will even park it in your garage. Great feature if you've been out drinking.

BOTH!:trophy:
If they continue the trend of running 6 year model cycles (as with the 4th gen), we should see an update this year. I think it would be very minor stuff, though. The Entune update to the radio in the '12 makes me think that the interior won't change much at all. I think we might see a nip tuck on the headlights, front, and rear bumper, and hopefully some new colors (seriously, some shade of white/black covers 80% of the available colors for the SR5 and they have to be bat**** crazy to think that a white TE won't sell like gangbusters if they give it the '08 FJ TT works).

Rumor has it that 2013 will feature the 4runner Shrockworks edition, complete with Front bumper, sliders, skid plates, new unreleased rear bumper and Gobi rack. Plus a lift of course.
