    can confirm it fits 2020 models. However they do absolutely nothing the only reason I have one is because it was given to me by the dealership I would not buy one if I had to pay for it

    Its the same rig... of course it will fit. The newest models are the exact same.
    Now, if it even does anything, ill let you all fight about that.

    To be fair, with all the TSS stuff, it's possible that there have been some tweaks underhood that could cause clearance issues and the like.

    No clearance issues. Would take a drastic change in engine design to cause a problem.

    it does I will agree. My old car had a turbo so sometimes I have a “where’s the dam bov sound” when I floor my 4runner.

    Too many mods and too much money
    There is dyno documented evidence on a 2014 model of a miniscule 5 hp gain and 19 ft lbs of torque with the TRD intake, but is it worth $200 - $400? Not really for most owners. Most people note a drop in gas mileage, because they keep stomping on it to see if they can feel that money spent.

    I'd pay $200-400 for +19 lb/ft of torque. That's a pretty nice gain. But I'm skeptical that it's real.

    To each his own Sir. I will not say one way or another. They did a base line pull, then added the Intake a short time later. I actually think the torque numbers could be better if they didn't have TRAC to contend with in the lower rpm range. It seems a little silly to spend all that money and only report 5 hp though. This was an unsponsored endeavor. Just a curious T4R owner. If they were going to cheat the dyno figures, I would say they would have come up with at least 20 hp and 30 to 40 Ft lbs.
