I thought the weight thing may have been a factor too, but after looking at both vehicles curb weight I'm not really sure about that. The V-6 4Runner only outweighs a quadcab V-6 Tacoma by 250 pounds, not very much weight! I was also thinking maybe they wanted to keep it seperated from the Tundra, but then the 4Runner, Sequioa and Landcruiser all have the same V-8(with the exception of the Landcruiser not getting the newer version) anyway just thinking outloud!
