    the LR3 is also IRS, but a sick system to boot.

    that spy shot is the 200 series.

    200 series? Land Cruiser? Do you mean 130 series LC??

    I just noticed Chevy Trailblazer is also an IFS with Live axle setup.

    Re: The future of the 4Runner (5th Gen)

    Old thread revival I know... anyways, I got tired of not knowing anything so I sent an email to Toyota about this and I got a rather generic response. Its not making me feel good about the future of the 4Runner though, they should have plans in the works already if the new one is really going to drop in 2009 or 2010.

    Here is the email.

    Mr. ********,

    We appreciate your continued interest in the 4 Runner!

    We apologize; Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. does not currently have any announced plans to introduce a Prado or redesign the 4 Runner.

    To receive information on the 4 Runner as it becomes available, please subscribe to our Current and Future Models FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions).

    Your email has been documented at our National Headquarters under file #2008******** and is available for management review. If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact us.

    Can you say canned response?

    Originally it was due 2009 (this fall) but with the lackluster sales I'm sure they're pushing back to 2010 (next fall). If prices of fuel continue to rise who knows what will happen. A diesel variant would sure be sweet though.

    while a diesel version would be sweet, with the current price of diesel about 20-40 cents above premium (atleast here in florida) i doubt they would take that track with it. hopefully gas prices come down so we get another generation of a timeless classic.

    Re: The future of the 4Runner (5th Gen)

    i expect to see a hybrid system in the new 4runner. for us, probably not a welcome addition, but we are a very small demographic, and shrinking because of high gas prices.

    hopefully the next one will be smaller than the current one. id like so see something on par with a 2nd gen in terms of size (not that there is alot of difference among the years), or smaller. but maybe that cuts into fj cruiser territory?

    Re: The future of the 4Runner (5th Gen)

    I am prepared to be completely disappointed by the 5th gen 4Runner. Let me guess...it will be larger with no diesel engine, no manual transmission, push-button 4WD without locking diff(s), indepedent rear suspension, and even lower than the 4th gens.

    why not? instead of talking about air filters and exhaust, we could start talking about wiring Mega Farrad capacitors to the motor . . .
