Did you know that the 2025 Toyota 4Runner is more like half of a Tacoma (B-pillar forward), and half of a Land Cruiser (B-pillar rearward)? And did you know that the 6th Gen 4Runner's Chief Engineer is Keita Moritsu, who is also the Chief Engineer for the new Land Cruiser? (though Sheldon Brown, Chief Engineer of the new Tacoma, worked closely with Moritsu to collaborate on the 4Runner development). These are some of the interesting insights David talks about in this video, where he also provides backgrounds about other TNGA-F vehicles such as the new Land Cruiser, Tacoma, Tundra and Sequoia.
