Quasi-official pics of 2010 4Runner

[dwulffusa]

That is a Limited interior. The Limited is full-time 4WD.

Why have 2 different systems for one engine configeration?

Also seems counter intuitive to have the Limited be full-time 4WD and the Trail Edition part-time.
?

and I need more than one cupholder, just for me !!!

Take another look at the C&D photos, there is another cupholder to the right and behind the gear shift.

The poster in the TudraSolutions.com forum added a new photo of the dashboard and posted a better scan of an exterior photo that he previously posted (grill not obscured in the new photo).

Thanks Sven, I edited my post on page 1 to include these 2 pics.

The new dash pic looks pretty darn nice IMO, especially the new optitron gauges - a huge improvement over the orange gauges in the 4th gen (although I think they're only gonna be on the Limited )

Since you were editing your post you should add Iron Clad Lou's drawings that everyone else seems to want to steal. It goes to show you that if you do a really good job at something, someone is going to want to take the easy way and make it their own. At least we know who did it first.:lightsaber:

Send them a nasty e-mail, seriously.

I couldn't add any more images to my post on the first page (11 is the limit) so I edited Thai's first post to include my favorite of ICL's photoshop jobs

This is from that article:


"2010 Toyota 4Runner Photos Leak Out Ahead of September 24 Debut

Today, a 4Runner enthusiast forum posted this front 3/4 shot, along with a bunch of cargo bay shots. So now we know what it looks like"




And we all know what "4Runner enthusiast forum", they are talking about.

Looking very clean I wish I had the $$$ to buy one:girl:

 

[simple]

ding! ding!
agreed.

Would it still not have a lever to go from 4hi to 4lo?

 

[jacal]

IF I do jump and buy one I expect ICL (Iron Clad Lou) to get the commission!

A big mod problem is although I only have a few mods, they are very useful to me and I have to factor that into the decision to get a new one.

The new interior pic looks good to me thus far. Its far more encouraging than the C&D fuzzy cell pics seen a week or so ago. To me the dash materials quality looks decent, no worse than the 4th gen. In fact the Heat & A/C controls, and gauages look better so far. The one thing I struggle to determine is the quality of the black dash plastic....is it all hard or some soft?

Thoughts so far guys?

I would think the top portion is soft as it is in every other car I have owned. Even the Lexus GS350 I drive now has hard plastic for the bottom section of the dash where the side panel switches are...I'm not sure what people are expecting?

Unfortunately, I bet it's not the case. It will be hard, painted plastic like what's in the new Tundra and a number of other Toyota vehicles. It will likely be textured to "look" soft but won't be. And if it's like the Tundra, rubbing it too hard will remove the top finish :wow: I really hope I'm wrong on this...

Damn I hope not, that's ridiculous. Of all things to cut cost on, the difference in price to manufacture the softer higher quality dash over a crappy hard plastic has to be marginal. That's almost a deal breaker right there.

I agree. I was very shocked to see the Tundra and Sequoia's redesigns move from soft plastic upper door panels to hard plastic. Especially since the price of a fully loaded Sequoia went from around $49k to nearly $60k. As far as I'm concerned, no car should have hard plastic surfaces where a person can touch/rub up against. This was the first obvious time I could see Toyota cutting corners and cheapening their vehicles. My 24 year old Supra has soft plastics everywhere so why not a brand new vehicle? I guess we will all see in a couple weeks what the new 4Runner has.
