Did they finnaly convert those headlights to what the Rx 330 is ussing? Forgot the name they give it. It's a cool system, the lights turn with the vehicle, up to 20 deg. Was able to drive one at night one time at work(an RX330). Was cool watching the lights move with the vehicle on the winding road.
Looks like they got rid of the squared off wheel well openings as well. Rounded ones look much better.

Is it just me, or does it look like Toyota took their styling cues from a Chevy Trailblazer? These are very nice trucks though, but they need diesel motivation.

real crackerjack product planning/marketing Toyota has
The fenderflares are also wider so they look similar to the Sequoia/Tundra flares. I think it looks good.
First Toyota w/ projector headlights too, I think.
No love from the Mud crew, but it's a great ride and they made alot of small improvements that add up to a really nice product. For almost the same as I paid in 03, you get more for your money now. Gotta love that
Some nice upgrades avail:
--JBL® AM/FM CD with voice-activated DVD navigation system [5] with hands-free phone capability via Bluetooth® wireless technology [6], backup camera [7], eight speakers and MP3/WMA playback capability [8]
--Looks like all will have MP3 plug-in on radios (finally!)
--projector headlights

FirstToy-As you know, I sort of like the 4th generation 4Runners. I just do not have a strong motivation to buy one. I am seriously Jonesing for diesel power. So, if the 4th gen came in diesel, I would buy one. Otherwise, I'll just keep driving my FJ60.

Andy, that's a big endorsement coming from a Cruiserhead! :thumbsup:
Yeah I wonder about Toyota's marketing decisions, saving all the good options for Japan-- where they really don't need them!

I'd like to kick whoever is responsable for determining what we get in north america in the nads. If the 4-Runner here came with a diesel and Rear Locker I would seriously consider buying one. What a bunch of tards.

I REALLY like the rounded flares... That makes such a big improvement in the appearance IMO. I was not a fan of the sharper lines.
I have decided to keep my Trooper for a few more years until something REALLY interesting comes along. I am hoping to something with diesel from Toyota, but their hybrid trend may kill that reality...

Me too, thats the only thing I hate about my 05. Hopefully if they update them the new flares will fit mine. Looks way too much like a chevy now.
