Hmmm, I do like it, definitely has a FJ vibe. Also hear that the next 4Runner will be 4cyl turbo only.
Yeah I would look at that although wifey would like the GX. Does the 4 cylinder suck or is it ok?

Numbers are one thing but how it drives is quite another. Another concern is will it last 300k kms with just oil changes. If no to the former and yes to the latter then it gets a check mark.

I would think with this being a turbo with electric assistance, it'll feel quite powerful and torquing off the line. Long term, hard to say. Historically there hasn't been too many turbo charged engines that last for really long times other than diesels. Might mean a bit more maintenance and possible turbo replacement prior to the 300K mark, but then again, it's really hard to predict as I'm sure the electric motor will help with load and strain on the turbo and ICE parts. If I was to bet on a turbo hybrid engine for long term reliability, it would likely be the Toyota/Lexus one I'd put money on.

There are lots of modern powerful engines out there with "instant" response however many leave you cold. Then they start piping in the fake engine noises. Anyhow I agree with trusting Toyota. I think the smart play is to lease with an optional buy out. If things are going well you buy it out. Easy.
I bet the way the electric engine is setup with the ICE powertrain will make rock crawling & off road great. plus it says fuel economy of 8.7L/100km..!

What's the Guess on MSRP? pricing in Canada. On the US of A side I saw low $50s entry which is a big drop from their last model. Probably wants a clear difference from the Sequoia
