front end has tundra vibes and I don't mean that as a compliment

it's certainly uglier than the current one and it's a lot uglier than the new US market LC

What's the point of the 4Runner now that the land cruiser exists?

The 4runner starts around $40k, the Land Cruiser at $55k.

I can almost see some coherency with the sharp slashes front and rear and the corresponding ones between the wheel arches on the side profile.

But like those few little bits are the only bits that have any sort of balance. Toyota has been banging out 'put lines everywhere' designs for a while but this is absolute dogshit in a way that's difficult to fully explain. Some poor prick probably designed something OK but was told it needed more. And more. And more...

All if you who wanted piano black plastic fender flares on an offroad vehicle finally got your way.

The Trailhunter and TRD Pro look awesome. The rear seats look super cramped - I mean half of the rear door is taken up by the rear wheel well. Forbes apparently screwed up the AM/PM timing of publishing the article.

You can check out a cached version of the article here: [url]https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://www.forbes.com/sites/samabuelsamid/2024/04/09/toyota-completes-its-off-road-lineup-with-all-new-2025-4runner/[/url]

The Trailhunter has a 2400 watt inverter which seems pretty neat. I will need to see the LC 250 and 4Runner side by side to make a decision. Ultimately I think the new GX 550 has to be the most enticing looking SUV right now.

It’s the logo intergrated into the grill with an electric plug replacing the man being eaten by the snake.

I’m in the WTF camp. The Giulietta died for this??

The Tonale is what it is but at least it looks normal.

To be fair that is the ‘limited’ trim and TRD Off Road/Pro and Trailhunter all look way better.

Same for me. I thought it was a sequoia shoop. I also saw a new taco this weekend and really like how they look. A buddy was going to order one, a TRD off-road and was quoted $56.6K, no mark up. Mid-$50k's for a mid size pickup with so many empty buttons is ridiculous. I already feel poor in this thread and that just makes it worse. Guess I'll keep rocking my 'cheap' 2023 sr5 2wd.

I can’t say I like all of it, but all of it is interesting to look at and that’s a win against the jelly bean take over.

New 4Runner is gross, im sure I’ll have to look at thousands of them here in the next couple years.

As long as he's followed into the woodchipper by the guy who started putting turn signals and LED headlight assemblies into bumpers*. But, also leaving vestigial lights that...don't do anything sometimes? Looking at you, Chevy Bolt and gestures vaguely at Hyundai/Kia

It looks wrong and probably turns even the most minor of hits into a multi-thousand dollar repa- oh wait I get it now.
