In a nod to its rugged nature, the 2010 Toyota 4Runner will debut on Sept. 24 in Dallas at the Texas State Fair.
More details will be revealed then, but Toyota hinted today that the interior will be upgraded with added room and comfort for the fifth-generation sport-utility vehicle.

Just what you need in a rugged offroad vehicle, "added room and comfort". ;-)
2014 Mini Cooper (stick shift of course), 2016 Camry hybrid, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (keeping the stick alive)

Like to know others thoughts.
The trail edition with black plastic mat bumper does not appeal to me. You can see the screws where plate was put on. In my view, make it steel for off road edition or leave color coded. Toyota is mistaken to classify/characterize off roaders as yupee or as tailor boys. We require a functional vehicle for the purposes of significant city & hwy driving to get where we need to go as well around town, towing our toys and off roading once we get there.
It is difficult to comment on what else is difference in trail edition, but as you said, I would not hesitate to move away from Toyota if it is anything like FJ with non-functional features aimed at yupees
Meant to post this link. It's new to me.
Toyota will not sell many of these...they are ugly and lack a wide choice of motors.
Look at the Tundra-for reasons only known to Toyota-they went with a "swiss cheese" frame and their sales volume isn't any where near their projections. They have "bed bounce" and tailgates that don't hold up to the normal uses of a truck.
Even Toyota can make mistakes....
I don't know who was designing this horrid monster, it is unfortunate because the 4runner has always been a staple of Toyota. I feel that it no longer will be. Looks like I won't be in the market for the new 2010 models
...Looks like Toyota really screwed this one up.
I want to see a Limited interior in beige. Black interiors often look cheap in photos (an often in real life too).
I couldn't have said it better. Nothing wrong with style and functionality at the same time.

Has any information been published regarding the specs (width, height, length) of the new 4Runner? To me, the new version appears to be taller and possibly wider (although I can't be certain).
In that PDF you can see these values:
L = 4820mm (189.8in)
W = 1925mm (75.8in)
H = 1780mm (70.1in)
Regards.

Thanks for the pics.
I would be very interested to see how the trail edition will look.
I do want to see what the Trail Edition looks like as I don't have $40K to spare.
Anyone know when the official brochures are supposed to hit the web?
And sven007 thanks again for the pictures!

I'm not afraid of the new design. I just don't like what I've seen so far. Maybe it will look better than the pictures.
Well, we all know how long that lasted!
The '010 forerunner will probably look better "in person" than the pictures. But car makers (Toyota included) all make design mistakes. Some times they are very costly, witness the 2nd generation of the Ford Taurus (the oval disaster), this cost Ford the number one slot for a family car, and they HAVE NEVER regained the title again!

Check out the 2010 BMW X5 3.5 Twin Turbo diesel, 306 Hp, with a whopping 442 ft/lb torque!! 20/26 mpg, and MAYBE MOST IMPORTANTLY wide ample seating with really comfortable supportive seats!! Was just in my brothers '05 4Runner and my 225lbs felt like I was a child seat, no cushioning at all. Plus we are all over each other and still the new 4runner is only 0.5" wider and 1" taller than the current one, this is a truck for 160lb guys!
'10 twin turbo has a MSRP of $52k, but BMW is giving $4500 rebate on this turbo diesel and gov is allowing $1800 tax credit, so more like $45K w/ 100% free maintenance and b-to-b warranty fo 4 yrs/50k miles, hate to admit it, but I might have out-grown 4runner.
I have a 4Runner because I take it offroad. Places where an X5 can't go.
do figure 8's around it, is a whole lot bigger/roomier in every way and gets 5 mpg
more!!!! 20/26 for the super clean burning twin turbo diesel, 6 second 0-60!, and is Awd and goes great on beach or dirt, you really gonna do jumps in new $40k Toyota, good luck with that!
The X5 is simply not any good offroad. No low range. No ground clearance. And performance tires don't work offroad.
I'm all in favor of turbo diesel engines. I just see no use for cross-overs -- they don't have the utility of a either a true SUV or a wagon.
