What would you like to see in a 6th gen?

[ToyoT4R]

Too many sales for the soccer moms and offroad wanna be dads.

Bring back the FJ with basics.

Agree, I would love a back to basics 4x4 like an FJ or like my old Early Bronco but with all the ridiculous safety regulations today and most consumers wanting a comfy SUV that will never be taken off-road the future of the 4Runner will probably be something close to a beefed up Highlander. I hope I am wrong and they keep it a body on frame and add a front locker, keep electronics to a minimum, no safety sense, and add some power but keep it a simple reliable drivetrain. But Toyota is already heading in the wrong direction (in my opinion) having added a lot of unnecessary features to the 2019/2020 models, driven by consumer demands to add costly infotainment systems, safety sense, better fuel economy, add more conveniences rather than add robustness and off-road capability.

A decontented 4Runner with an FJC price point would be a good seller for people who don't want a Tacoma, think a 4Runner is overpriced, and hate Wranglers.

 

[pswiss8]

Better Infotainment system.

LED Headlights and Fogs.

Better gas mileage.

DIS RIGHT HERE :hail:

anyone think there's a chance for a hybrid version? Honest question, not trolling.

 

[chrisbagnell]

they should just release the 4th gen again and call it the 6th gen

 

[Bumbo]

-Carplay
-Push button start
-Auto headlights
-LED headlights
-Ventilated seats
-LED interior lights
-Nicer sound system

What happened to men? Bunch of metro-sexual pussies driving 4runners. Get Highlanders...

Less the Apple Car play, the 4R already has most all those features in the Limited, and it is quite nice to have. What they need to do is trim up the rest of the line. Owning both a 4th and 5th, Toyota went to town on value engineering many things I wanted out of the lower 5th gen trim levels, even the Pro is sad in comparison.

And just in case you haven't figured it out yet, the 5th gen is the millennial minivan. Most younger people having kids choose this truck as their stroller of choice over the minivan. At least those are my observations.

I think it's all but a guarantee that it'll have some form of hybrid. What that means - I have no idea. My guess is mild hybrid start/stop and possibly electric assist at lower speeds in stop/go traffic.

I REALLY hope it has electric drive option for water crossings without a snorkel. That would offer a huge benefit to me to not need a snorkel, but still have deep water fording ability by closing the intake and running on electric drive for just a few hundred feet max at low-moderate speeds. Not the holy grail of offroad functionality by any means, but it could be very useful.

 

[nimby]

I'd like to see the Pro become an actual offroad package. Something similar to the Raptor.

Wider track width with mild flared fenders.
Stock 33" tires
Supercharger
Adjustable coilovers

 

[BrianRD]

Take a page out of Ford's book and put in a 3.0 turbo for better power and fuel economy.

 

[Vwright14]

Double barn door with a spare tire swing out.

Barn does...ewww. I have them on my 03 Tahoe and hate them.

 

[HiluxSurfBC]

Built in Solar Panels
Deep Cycle battery hooked up to the alternator and external outlets.
Propane powered engine :hippie:

 

[Shamish]

TRD offroad should be a wrangler Rubicon competitor.

Best comment yet. I agree!

[mindanalyzer]

Could I request a couple of Rolls Royce turbines?

PS: Plz I ask for forgiveness, this is my 1st post

 

[Reddbeard]

why not share what you'd like to see from the 6th gen.

On the stock stereo deck, two features:

1) The ability to browse by folder on USB attached drives. (Currently only genre, song, artist are available as options. So a misc folder like MudMusic isn't selectable to play. You'd have to put MudMusic on it's own drive, in no folder)

2) Longer filenames. Currently you can only see about 32 characters of a filename as you look at a folder / album on the stock deck. So a filename like "Steve Miller Bands Greatest Hits - Disk 01 - Track 07 - The Joker.mp3" would have no chance of displaying fully as you enjoy the album.

 

[toyoman25]

Lets see, Soild front axel and a rear top that comes off......

 

[wrw4runner]

More power.
Increase ground clearance OR models.
Lighter weight.
Better rust proofing.

 

[utctscanr75]

6 speed or higher transmission for better gas mileage. More tire clearance would be nice. Spare tire mount on the rear bumper. Pro models should have steel bumper options? The only things that my 18 model doesn't have that I'd want has already been added to the 2020 models (better radio and push button start). Please keep the current rear window option (must for dogs).

 

[ALANTYRA]

diesel hybrid, or gas hybrid with ability to go all electric for the first 10's of miles (around town).

I think there's places they could swap in auto clicker word unscrambler jumble solver aluminum, like the hood and rear hatch, to save weight without sacrificing anything. More high-strength steel in the frame would be good for weight reduction too. Anything to get the MPGs up a bit.

 

[Drama1]

In my humble opinion, I believe the Rav4 Prime is a good indication of what's to come in the next 4runner but, of course, body on frame. I just hope it's sooner rather than later.
