2014 4Runner is Hideous!

Don't like it at first , but then again I thought the same about the 2012 Tacoma and now I think that they look pretty good

 

It's a trail. It's the one Toyota Tested on the Rubicon

I think the 2001-2004 Taco front end is pretty bad, actually, too feminine.

 

Not a fan..too ricer

 

Front end looks like shit warmed over and served on a dirty plate?

 

I dont think its too bad looking

 

Thank you, this story on the 2014 had this photo, thanks for clearing that up!

I don't mind it, the previous overhaul looked better though. It would look a whole lot better if they painted that huge gray area on the bumper black!

 

Looks like a Mitsubishi Outlander

 

I don't mind it. Still wish the 4Runner came in manual with a removable top though!

This one looks better than the 4th gen 4Runners IMO.

 

You only have to cut for Arb and Demello bumpers on the current 4Runner

no cutting for for Shrockworks or BudBuilt

 

Looks pretty cut to me. Either that or they give you some shitty filler pieces

 

that's exactly what they are. but they are also better than destroying your bumper cover.

 

I like the look of the ARB so I'd just cut it. Very interested to see what ARB, Demello, Shrock come up with for the 2014 front. Looks like a lot more work because of those vents and grille

 

the ARB looks good from the front, but that thing is a monster. I'm not a fan of how far it sticks out. Shrockworks is definitely my favorite on the market. Regardless of the brand - everyone will have trouble fabbing something for this new Runner.

Didn't notice that side shot. Damn that ARB sticks out far!

 

Wow. Ugly as sin, no ground clearance, pricey, and more than likely not easily modified. I didn't think they would make an uglier and less-capable vehicle than the last one.

I suppose it'll get the wife and kids safely to soccer practice?

 

unless you've driven one off-road, then you're just making baseless assumptions as to it's capabilities. my 2010 TE is just as capable, if not more, than my 2005 Tacoma.

 

The 5th gen is far more capable stock than a stock 4th gen. The 4th gen was the lowest to the ground "soccer momish" design that Toyota has come out with.

 

With every new generation of Tacoma and 4Runner they become less and less capable off the showroom floor. I know this to be fact with the Tacoma, and while it is an assumption with the 4 Runner, it's in no way baseless.
