40th Anniversary Edition 4Runner

Looks like we will have to wait another year for the all new 4Runner. But we do get a new limited edition. https://pressroom.toyota.com/toyota...jP656LtGNgyCvtIZw5QKhmJNQBNPmz_xsHhQQOpHhHuMc

 

I like it. This is pandering to the fans. There’s few products that has a fan base, and 4Runner is one of them. And Toyota would like to milk it.

 

They are definitely milking the 4Runner. 14 years now.

And its mentioned in a few other threads,

 

Wow the badging on the front grill is common now? People are going to be mistaking my 4R for a 2023?

 

Needs a camo hoodwrap?

 

$99,999.00?

 

I just told my wife who my best friend is, I guess I’m sleeping in the runner tonight.

 

oh well....just another day in paradise.....here in the forum

 

Is it the 40th anniversary of the 5th gen? Sure seems like it, lol.

 

Toyota is like Apple, small upgrades over and over.

 

Like the wheels, the stripe is stupid.

 

I actually dig it. Not sure which color I like better with the stripe, the black, red, or white, but I have to say the black looks really good. I typically don't like these in black, but it really makes the stripe pop.

I imagine the stripe will be available on Etsy shortly, so I'm sure we'll be seeing more of these around.

 

So how is this the 40th Anniversary?

Didn't the 4Runner come out in mid-1984?

Here's the press release

 

I wonder how long it would take me to save up making $8.00 a hour?

 

After further research, I guess the Hilux Surf came out in 1983.
