Next years RAV4 will be named 4Runner-Sport

How would you feel if Toyota followed Ford and spread the 4Runner name across completely different platforms? Would it take something away from the 4Runner models we now know? Would it make you take the Rav4 a little more serious? 4Runners have been somewhat consistent from Gen 1-5. Broncos on the other hand have been all over the place.

I guess it would be no worse than slapping TRD on everything. I wouldn't take the RAV4 more seriously for wheeling but I'd get one for a street car.

they did it with a TRD camry and I think it looks really nice. I think certain styles of trims/packages like TRD would work but ya a rav4 that's basically renamed as a 4runner is still a rav4 underneath
 
Big time click bait title.

I think it would be a bad idea and I don't think it will happen. If it were Mercedes or BMW it likely would but I see Toyota keeping the model names as they are. Both are immensely successful, why mess with it? Not to mention, I think a 4Runner sport already exists, doesn't it?
 
I thought the first reply was good until I read the 4runner limited reply haha. In all honesty though, I rented a rav4 last September for a road trip and was surprised. Would be cool(er) with more off road capabilities.
 
It's kind of like Ford calling their EV crossover a "mustang." When these automakers end up with a sub-brand that has so much cred, they can't resist trying to leverage that as much as possible.
