2026 6th Gen 4Runner Predictions? Any Changes?

[TRD JON]

Thoughts on anything for the 2026 Model year for 4Runner? I know the vehicle is brand new, but Toyota typically likes to do minor things every year to improve on the vehicle. Yes...they could do this right from the beggining, but then product longevity for new purchases would take a hit.

What I think could come:

• Power Seats for NON Premium TRD OR and Sport
• Dual Climate Control for TRD ORP and TRD Sport Premium
• AUX Switches for TRD OR
• Sway Bar Disco?

Drop some things that you hope for Toyota to improve on with the upcoming 2026 model.

Smaller steering wheel, better brakes, fixing the direction of the rear window button., redesigning the center frame crossmember on the hybrids. Possible relocating the rear axle rearward to increase tire clearance.

I just can't find a comfortable spot to keep my hands and it feels like steering a boat to me.

My 4R Pro's is 3/4" larger then my 25' 2500 ProMaster High Roof work van. I really think it takes away from a better and more in control driving experience. JMHO

• Dual Climate Control for TRD ORP and TRD Sport Premium
• AUX Switches for TRD OR
• Sway Bar Disco

The thought of them potentially adding those 3 changes for 2026 has me thinking about canceling my order - especially the sway bar disconnect!

My gas TRD ORP isn't set to arrive until late July, so maybe we'll know more before I pick it up.

Bigger cup holders

Auto wipers, gas powered lift struts for hood, automatic folding mirrors, on premium models should have padded doors, remote start, and digital key without paying extra along with guided backup. The entertainment center seems to get stuck updating Sirus info sometimes and I remember my old 4R used to have a bunch of built in useful apps which seem to be gone (yes I know I can use voice for a lot but once my subscription expires its gone). The main dash configuration is cryptic and would be better configured thru the multimedia system. Toyota should be paying us for being being beta testers LOL

Bigger cup holders

...and ones that actually dont grip your cups like a vice.

If you guys want a bigger cup holder check out the one I make. www.kocreations.shop
it fits bigger bottles and other cups

As for what they need add would be the small mods we have to buy that should be standard like LED lights on all lights, hood struts, and fixing the damn gaps on the fender flares on a very expensive vehicle.

@kophoto4x4 - love the third cup holder. Super convenient. We use it all the time.
