Both models had the same chief engineer. would be nice to interview that guy and ask some technical questions about differences between LC and 4R. Here’s hope that one of these YouTube auto journalists will execute on this. It be nice to not have to sift through hours of video going through the same info we already know. I’m hopeful…as there some good ones… guess that’s what this forum helps with. April 16 can’t come soon enough!I think the 4R will be regular gas too but guess maybe a different tube for the LC?
same engine/same HP & Torque numbers right?
I asked that question to Motormouth on their Youtube 4Runner review, and she said they are driving it this week, and yes, the review drops on the 16th.Looks like the drive review embargo for the LC ends on April 16th at 7:00am. Not much longer to wait!
My husband has the new Tacoma, the screen is obnoxious.You would be correct on the screen........it does look huge in that space.
Would the 2025 4Runner be any better for taller drivers?One thing no one has brought up is the front seating position. I own or have owned the 3rd, 4th and 5th gen 4R. My wife was excited about the 6th gen. Since they are going to be very similar to the Tacoma we checked out the interior, multiple times at a couple of dealers.
The visibility from the driver's seat is a downgrade from the current and previous 4Rs. She could not adjust the seat high enough, she's 5' 2 1/4" and when I adjusted it I couldn't see the hood, just the dashboard top. We went right over to a 5th gen are it is truly worlds apart. You really feel low and the 'A' pillar really swoops back. Here is a picture of Dan Edmunds sitting in the 2025 4R.

I’m glad you gave her the 1/4 she deserves.. I am the same I feel the challenge.One thing no one has brought up is the front seating position. I own or have owned the 3rd, 4th and 5th gen 4R.

I didn't notice anything difficult about the Tacoma driving position compared to my 5th gen 4Runner. I have to keep my 4Runner seat in the lowest position for height unless I want to be looking directly down onto the hood scoop. I'm only 5'8".One thing no one has brought up is the front seating position. I own or have owned the 3rd, 4th and 5th gen 4R. My wife was excited about the 6th gen.

The new Tacoma is far better than the 3rd gen. Based on the videos there are a lot of 6' plus and 200 ++ pound people that fit. My problem is the overall visibility. I just sit lower than the last 3 gens of the 4R. I keep my seat adjusted to the lowest and farthest back position and have great front and side views. In the 4th gen Tacoma all I see is the dashboard and high side doors. Some may not notice it but it really stands out for me. You can see it in the profile.Would the 2025 4Runner be any better for taller drivers?
