Not sure how I feel about the front end styling, I think the looks of the 3rd gen front end looks better. The interior looks better and the hybrid powertrain has my interest.

 

The pro and hunter look fine. The plastic front spoiler on the rest looks terrible.

But the gun rack in the prerunner is way cool.

 

The air damper is absolutely killing it. Even on the Trd off road now, whether you like it or not, you need to pay for it then get rid of it.

 

Couple other videos from vehicle YouTubers

I think overall they did a great job. Improved basically everything without doing anything too radical.
More new features than I expected, actually.
Disconnecting sway bars?? Yes, please!
Ventilated seats? Finally!!

I’m only interested in the hybrid MPG guess that’ll be out soon.

 

I like it.

 

Yes for the hybrid and rear suspension

No for non gated transmission shifter

 

I'm liking what I see in the limited. full time 4wd, heated steering wheel, heated and cooled seats, a tow/haul mode with a brake controller.

Are those the BP-51 shocks on the trailhunter?

 

This is the biggest improvement

 

I guess the reveal on the 19th is early?

 

the chin strap now looks like a snow plow. As it is with every new generation vehicle, the styling always ends up growing on you and aesthetics evolve as the generation ages. If this is the baseline for this generation, I'm excited to see where it's at 3 to 4 years from now. I'm not totally blown away by it, but like the 3rd gen....I wasn't too stoked about it either but it grew on me and now I love it. Looks like a lot of room to fit at least some 33's.

 

Yeah that’s a huge improvement from 265 @ 4600

it’ll definitely be interesting once some of the driving videos start coming out

 

I love it!

 

Only thing better about 3rd Gen is location of the parking brake IMO

 

I’m afraid I agree with you. I’ll miss a real parking break. But the press release says it will allow low speed cruise control. I’ll take that trade off.

 

The pro and trail hunter look good , the air dam would go immediately if I got any other model. Personally I like the front end of the 3rd gen better but that's just me. Anxious to see how the new engines do with time and the MPG.

 

So no 6MT with the iforce max? In other words, no pro with 6MT?
