Confirmed: 2022 Toyota 4Runner Getting Much-Needed New Feature

hI THERE,

I feel, there should be more than one color offered with the Pro. with the price tag being what it is, especially when these vehicles are coming straight from Japan / or so I've heard.

The much needed feature that is long overdue is a 6- or 8-speed transmission or even the 10-speed that is rumored for the 2022 Land Cruiser. I would love to own another 4Runner. I have owned 3, the last of which had a V8 with AWD. but with the current engine/transmission combo is a dog.

The 4runner doesn't need a powered lift gate. Keep the 4runner grounded in its roots. The gearing needs to be updated for sure. I would love to see a 6 speed manual appear but that is just wishful drinking on my part.

I have a 2003 4runner 4.7 V8....till then I'll hold on to my 2003 till they upgrade to a v8

How about automatic headlights? This seems like such a standard feature and yet only limited and TRD Pro have them

Will other trim packages like the TRD Off Road also have BMS? Or just the Sport trim?

I constantly hear the BS that Toyota is not adding this piece of fluff or that gadget to their vehicles. What a load of manure.

I'll tell you what, when the other manufacture's can build a vehicle that can outlive most of the Toyotas out there then you can complain. In the meantime I will continue to drive my 300,000 mile Tundra that still runs almost a good as day 1 in 2001.

My only complaint is the quality of the paint and clear coat as applied in the factory but most older cars here in the Sunbelt seem to have the same issues, regardless of the maker.

"Much Needed"? You must be joking. Talk about clickbait. How about "just another feature that people who still know how to adjust their mirrors will never use"? And an auto-open hatch? How about just another feature that will add unnecessary weight and probably break prematurely. I thought we were getting a 6speed manual. Nope - just another feature for lazy people who prefer to look at their own vehicle in their side mirrors instead of their surroundings. Please save these celebratory articles for people who buy Rav4s - not people who actually buy and drive 4Runners because they are the last SUV on the market that remains simple, reliable and truck-based.

If you set your mirrors properly you don't need a BSM.

Love my 2018 4 runner. I bought because I can see out of it and blind spots are minimum. I don’t need more buzzing in this car. I do think it has gotten too high. My 2007 much easier to get into and I do miss the v8 engine in my 2007 my son has got that 4 runner now. So in short I like my old and new 4 runners. Would like v8 engine back it had great pickup, a multi disc CD player , shorten the height back to my 2007 height , an automatic tailgate hands free, and the 4 wheel drive knob put back on the dashboard I like 2 cup holders sided by side and the new 3rd one would be added bonus. Oh and the tuning fork designed wheels are just awful on my 2018 but I wanted my nautical blue with redwood interior so I compromised. I like a more luxurious look to the 4Runner I don’t like it seen as an intimidating angry automobile. The look of the dark black darth Vadermobile and the pea green beat up dull army look 4Runner...I’m not sure what Toyota is trying to portray the car as . I like that it is strong sturdy powerful and luxurious. I like my car to be safe and reliable and to win in a car accident if that would ever happen I didn’t want a small SUV or a mommy highlander. I got what I wanted it’s beautiful just a little too tall.

Hey there! Wife is really interested in the TRD Sport trim. Can you confirm available options and what is in the Tech Package? As long as she can get her moonroof, she will be happy!

so are you saying that the 2022 WILL have bsm? my husband has been waiting for that!

No way Toyota adds the blind spot monitor or anything of significance for that matter for the 2022 model year. 2023 is supposed the be the all new redesign, and they would never add something to an old body style for one year. I call BS on that one..

From 4runner point of view,

Toyota's view - Either Family or Offroad, but not both.
My view - Offroad capable vehicle with occasional use for third row seats.

Thats what I felt since the 4runner TRD versions are not available as 6/7 seater.

Thats the single big reason blocking me from buying it. I will buy it the first day when a 6/7 seater 4runner is available with factory fitted rear diff lock (If at all).

There may be 100 logical questions why diff lock, etc..etc. Being a car enthusiast and a non-jeep guy, thats what it matter to me, I am 70% sure I might not get it. Still its in my mind

Hearing some rumors that Nissan Xterra is coming back. Waiting for that too...

I have a 2004 4Runner Limited V8 with 198000 miles.... I will keep it until they come our with a 4Runner V8.....

It's not as the addition of BSM is the invention of the wheel, much cheaper cars have that option long time ago.
