I’m not impressed with all the plastic in the 4Runner. If feels like a step backward. Even my 3rd gen SR5 with leather has leather on the door panels. I would expect the 6th gen Sport and TRD Offroad Premium to have more soft materials.
I'm not sure if something is off or what but.. I sat in the 4Runner at the LA Auto Show and the 2nd row legroom was incredibly tight.
I then went to the Land Cruiser, and that had way longer 2nd row legroom. Not sure what's going on there. AFAIK, you can't adjust the 4Runners 2nd row to slide forward.. unless you can and I was mistaken.
But given it and the LC have the same wheelbase I thought the space would be the same.
Maybe it’s me, but it seems like the front row seats and dash are further back than the 5th gen 4Runner. The longer wheelbase doesn’t seem to give any benefit to the interior space as well. The Tacoma is the same way. The Tacoma wheelbase is longer, but interior space hasn’t really changed.
I noticed the engine on the LC250 seems to sit really far back in the chassis. Maybe they’re giving more space for front crash ratings? I don’t know. I’m not that impressed with TNGA-F packaging, particularly on the Tacoma.
