I highly doubt we'll ever see the 4runner w/ IRS only because the 4runner now shares the same platform as the Prado sold overseas. Also since the Tacoma/FJ both share the same platform as the 4runner it wouldn't make sense to just make an IRS just for the 4runner.
I suppose they could rebuild one out of the Sequoia but I doubt it's worth the time and the R&D to do it. Simplifying their designs by building cross-platform vehicles are the way Toyota's gonna be able to cut costs and build variations on a single platform.
The new 5th gen 4runners will look interesting and anyone who says o the new 4runners won't be able to offroad will be in for a surprise cuz so far every gen 4runner has been very capable on the trail. The only difference is what kind of trails

Wow...not bad at all! The limited model looks nice! That one picture looks like there is still a power rear window too!

Yeah I was looking for that too. Anyone notice the huge "4RUNNER" on the rear licence plate surround, looks kinda kool..

I think it would make for a really nice expedition rig.

It's Still 6 Lug and it still has its rear window, and its still SRA!!!
Its still a "4Runner"
However, anyone notice as the generations go on, there rear goes lower and lower?
I don't know but that looks like a HUGH @$$ on that baby...

Yeah, I agree with that. Seems like a lot of space between the top of the bumper and bottom of the tail lights. From what I've see so far though, I think that is my only complaint. An aftermarket bumper with a tire carrier would hide all that.Originally Posted by YotaFun

something about that rear bumper is much to be desired. it'll be pretty difficult to build something just from those images cuz the side panels seem to be seamlessly integrated into the rear bumper.
anyone notice the 4wd shift lever? guess they're going back to the mechanical lever instead of the electronics that the 4th gens have.
i wouldn't mind one if i had $ to burn

Lance I did notice that, and I am sure they probably did that cause the FJ cruiser is set up the same way.
I wonder if the newer Tacoma's will also have that integrated into them.
