2010 4 Runner? Pics inside...

http://www.leftlanenews.com/toyota-4runner-lexus-gx-future.html

Grabbed this on another site. Maybe the next 4 Runner? I know many people have asked. Major mock up but the only pictures I've seen so far.

Hmmmmm.... Looks a bit like a Ford.

Looks to me more like the next Sequoia.......

^ Nope those are way past this stage and are going to be appearing in showrooms early next year. Dealers are actually getting ready to get the official test drives on those in the next few months from what I've been told.

This is actually the mock up test platform for either the 4 Runner or Lexus.

Like a test mule?

It will be interesting to see what it is. Toyotafanfan said that there will be a new Toyota crossover so maybe this is it? Or a platform for it as well as other cars?
Although I know the 4Runner is a truck based SUV.

I don't think that this is a test mule for the new crossover vehicle. A crossover is a car-based vehicle with the utility of a SUV, and this vehicle seems obviously to be a truck-based SUV.

I think the 4Runner is the best looking SUV out there, and i really hope toyota doesn't mess it up.

Good point!:thumbup:;)

Looks so damn bland. Just like the new Land Cruiser. And it's as if they are taking styling cues from the GS.

Hmmmmm.... Looks a bit like a Ford.

yes, i agree with u

Looks too big and boxy to be a 4R. I see 5 lugs, maybe its a Lexus version of the new Sequoia?......

Michigan manufacturer plates? I know Toyota has an engineering/design team in Ann Arbor, but this has no design cues of a Toyota or a 4Runner, at all. Not even a little bit. It also looks more like a full-size SUV based on the rear doors. Show us the damn front end.

At first, I thought the tacked-on tail-lights were from the current Lexus GX470, but when I took another look at pictures of the GX, I don't think they are. But, the reverse lights look to me like they are off the current GS sedan.

I agree that it does not seem to have the design cues of the 4Runner. It seems quite large and high, suggesting a full-size (truck-based) SUV.

So, my guess is that it is a Toyota (or Lexus) full-size SUV (or maybe new GX).

Hmm, it's prob a new GX.....the tail lights are from the current LX and the GS, Perhaps it is the Lexus counterpart to the Sequoia.

Um, if you guys haven't noticed, the headrests, the tail lamps, the window lines.. its a land cruiser in its test uniform. Next GX/4R my ass. Pay attention to the details, the way the bumper hangs, the 5 lugs, the cieling of the interior, the handles inside, the body shape, the way the but buldges, the spacing of the corner of the rear tailamp and window wiper, the placement of the water jet, the license plate location, the overal shape of the front fender. Its a 200 series still in disguise. Compare the pix to the Australian prototype. Also, the high mounted stop lamp is a dead give away.

Although I know the 4Runner is a truck based SUV. theres definitely some truth to a new crossover coming late next year but there are no details other than it exists, my gsm mentioned something about it when he went to the managers meeting in Hawaii earlier in the month it was there. as far as the pix go thats the new LC in disguise

..as far as the pix go thats the new LC in disguise
Thank you :)

Too bad thats the only info.... but I guess the only thing sure is that the all new 4 runner will be a 2010 model???

I was told possibly sooner as a 2009 model, by a toyota nor cal trainer

09 sounds about right. Cause the 4Runner was new for 03, at least this gen. So about a 6 year model run.:thumbup:

09 MODEL year is very soon and yet no info available.....too bad!

Maybe thats why this thread is named 2010 4runner...

Well the Seqouia is coming soon don't hear too much about it, I don't. We had those teaser cameo pictures awhile ago but nothing earth shattering. Toyota is generally good about keeping mum on new models. Yeah it could come 09 or 2010 model. ITs not even the end of 07. So if it were an 09 we might not hear about it till the middle or end of 08 so a year or so from now.:thumbup:

The 09 sequoia will be unveiled in a couple of weeks !!! in the LA auto show.
So, having already seen various test mules weeks ago, for the sequoia, but nothing for the 4runner makes me think it will be a 2010 model.

I for one am very excited to finally see the next generation Sequoia unveiled!!!

Come on November 14th!!!!! :D

I like the old sequoia. Its a very discrete SUV.

Hey guys,

This is the new Landcruiser. You can really see the resemblance between the old one and the new one in the pic below - check the mirrors and the general shape.

Toyota puts Michigan plates on their test vehicles to throw people off.

But for the record - I'm 99% sure that this is the new Landcruiser, which doesn't look like too much of a body makeover.
