Maybe we have not seen a new 4Runner because there isn't one. The "New" Land Cruiser with a TTV6 is taking its place.
Burp.
That and $8.00 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

Seems to be a disconnect between the Motor1 article and the Japanese magazine when you translate it...
■ "Will Toyota's new Land Cruiser 300 be released around April 2021?
It seems that Toyota has notified its dealers that it will release the next Land Cruiser 300 in April next year. It will be the first generation change in 13 and a half years.
The next model will be developed by adopting Toyota's new concept of car making, "TNGA", and the power unit, suspension, 4WD mechanism, etc. will be completely renewed while inheriting the frame structure.
The powertrain is expected to discontinue the current 4.6L V8 gasoline engine and replace it with two types, a 3.5L V6 turbo & hybrid and a 3.3L diesel turbo.
The younger Land Cruiser Prado is scheduled to undergo a full model change after the fall of 2022."

This seems in stark contrast with the articles that Toyota is killing the Land Cruiser in the US and focusing on the new Tundra and Sequoia that are floating around half of the automotive press.
Unless this is an international site.

Surprising to hear this. I thought the LC was dead in America ha. I'd imagine the V8 would have to go and take on the variant of the Tundra's (supposedly) new engine...

Yeah, why make a new generation then offer it for only one year? I guess we’ll find out in six months or so.

There's a dealership email floating around on other car and 4x4 forums that purportedly shows Toyota Corporate telling dealers to get ready for the TLC cancellation and focusing on new offerings in the BOF segment (presumably a revamped Sequoia). This is also contradictory to rumors that there will be a more hardcore TLC and more luxo LX LC, and maybe even some crossover with the 4Runner platform. This may be legit or more BS like the dealer powerpoint presentation "leaked" a few months before.
It's all confusing as Toyota decided to keep selling the outdated GX in the US while updating the platform a while back worldwide which makes you wonder what their commitment and interest in the segment really is, especially now with Ford and Jeep making some serious offerings.
And I have said before I don't know how excited they are about big BOF vehicles now that the politics have changed and Toyota got caught going up against CARB--which now seems like it may once again be the framework of a national standard.

They have not and wont until all of the lawsuits are settled and the College votes. It's going to be awhile and it might not end like the media is portraying it will.
