Hoping that it doesnt get a turbo charged engine

My guess is that it will share the same power trains as the Tacoma. 4 cylinder turbo and 4 cylinder turbo hybrid. I too would love to see a non-turbo option as I’m concerned about the longevity and repair costs of the turbo engines, but I think we’re stuck with them going forward.

Don't worry! That's not a concern - at least not for the LC...but if it's good enough for the LC it's good enough for the 4Runner...they share the same platform, after all.

"They have proven that hybrid technology and hybrid batteries will survive the life of the vehicle." - Kurt Williams
I'm sure this same sentiment applies to Toyota's extensive history with turbocharged engines. The turbocharger just needs to survive the "life of the vehcile" (i.e., the warranted period).

"We know the Toyota engineers wouldn't put the Land Cruiser name on it if it wasn't up to the task." - Kurt Williams

So, so, so glad they're keeping that feature around for the 6th gen T4R.

To echo what all the LC fanboys kept saying about the LC, you are seeing a prototype unit. Actual, final production features may vary..

Except for the fact that the twin turbo V6 put in the Tundra are blowing up at a disturbing rate and there are a great many doubts/concerns being voiced over the 2.4 across multiple vehicles.

Hate to break it to you but "Life of vehicle" isnt warranty period

Current V6 in the G5 4R is regularly going 250k for starters with regular OCI's with few issues according to my Mr T guy.

Thats the MINIMUM benchmark I would expect out of next gen drive train.

You should know that I agree with your sentiment.

I have turned to sarcasm and extreme cynicism to cope with the current reality with Toyota.

It doesn’t bother me that they are keeping it. It wouldn’t bother me if they didn’t.

Having owned 3 4Runners, and with a high possibility of owning another in the future, the roll down rear window is one of my favorite features of the T4R and I would be sad to see it go.

I owned a 4th gen for 13 years. I hardly ever used the roll down window.
 
Trailhunter confirmed

I'm curious if they'll bring the 9.5" rear diff to the 4Runner Trailhunter like they did for the Tacoma Trailhunter.

Like prior 4Runners, the new model also shares a lot with the latest Tacoma midsize pickup including the powertrains. Toyota’s increasingly ubiquitous 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder will be under the hood of all sixth-generation 4Runners. The standard i-Force version delivers 278-hp and lb-ft of torque. The hybrid i-Force Max adds an electric motor and 1.87-kWh nickel-metal hydride battery for a total of 326-hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. Towing capability grows from 5,000-lbs to 6,000-lbs.

The wheelbase of the new model has grown by 2.4-inches and overall length has grown by 4.7-inches compared to the old model. The longer overhangs mean the approach and departure angles are slightly degraded for the new 4Runner at 32 and 24 degrees respectively compared to 33 and 26 degrees for the four-wheel-drive fifth-gen. However, the nearly 20-inch shorter wheelbase compared to the Tacoma should give the 4Runner a big advantage over the pickup in breakover angle.

Both options come with the same eight-speed automatic transmission found in the Tacoma and Land Cruiser. As before, customers can choose a rear-wheel-drive, part-time four-wheel-drive or full-time four-wheel-drive system. Both 4WD systems have a two-speed transfer case and Toyota’s active traction control system to aid in sending torque to the wheels with the most grip. All variants get an automatic limited slip differential.

In addition to all of the usual trims found on Toyota trucks and SUVs, the 4Runner also offers the new Trailhunter trim. The Trailhunter includes ARB's Old Man Emu (OME) 2.5-inch forged shocks with remote reservoirs on the rear axle and a custom ARB roof rack. 33-inch Toyo Open Country all-terrain tires provide the grip along with two-inches of added front ground clearance and 1.5-inches in the rear.

Rock rails and high strength steel skid plates come standard on the Trailhunter along with a bronze grille and integrated 20-inch LED light bar. Toyota has also built in a 2400W inverter to power gear during overlanding adventures.

I agree. I like the rear quarter window and that part of the profile. Not so much the front clip.

No mention of MT. No mention of where it will be made.

I'll ask if we can share more now that Forbes broke the embargo.
