As a former 5th gen 4Runner TRD Pro owner, I expect Toyota to add small new features with every model year. The TRD Pro got a front facing camera, adaptive cruise and a heated steering wheel over the last 4 years or so. Is it going to be enough to upgrade? Probably not, at least not anytime soon.

Disappointing how few improvements for a new year. I think all governed to not take away from the new 4Runner, which has a much broader offering. If only we had a close Lexus dealer, a GX would be my choice.

^^ MSRP apparently only went up by $500 (less than inflation), so I don't really care that it doesn't come with anything "new" for 2025 (I'm still waiting, mine will likely be a 2025).

The only real disappointment is the lack of a few items to make it more offroad ready out of the gate, such as tires.

Did the First Editions not all come with lift gate lights?

I don't think any trim did

Yes they do (at least mine did).

My First Edition has the lift gate lights, and I believe all of them do.

There are two small tailgate lights in FE.
This is something that should be on ALL models, seriously.

My LC trim premium has two lights in either side, like this.

any pic of the liftgate lights? from FE owners

The LC Premium has these LED cargo area lights. They work well.

My '22 4Runner Limited has liftgate lights integrated into the liftgate itself and do not light the cargo area at all. They quasi light the area beneath the tailgate. However, they are not LED, so they don't have much light coverage.

These are standard even on the 1958 in Canada, is that not the case in the US? They're adequate for my needs.

 

[JoT.]

Yea- FE owner- I have the two tiny little lights that were displayed in above thread- as well as two small square lights on the actual tailgate when it raises.

 

[JoT.]

Not sure if those attached so I’ll try again

 

[EOD Guy]

One of two lights

Is there a control switch for those cargo area lights on the side walls or do they just turn on and off automatically if the liftgate is open?

They do have liftgate lights. Unfortunately there’s no switch to turn them off when the hatch is open, so if you want them off you have to implement a workaround such as using a carabiner in the lock mechanism as described by another member

Or put in a switch......
