wow.
*pinches self*
Am I really in a Lexus/Toyota forum?
So much vitriol for a toyota product
I'm afraid what the feedback would be on the GX460 refresh.

Thankfully the LX front is still nice but when we went to build one, no black wood option

This 4Runner refresh is a front headlight/bumper and rear taillight revision, new wheels, and nicer interior trim. All other major sheetmetal is the same. Interior overall design and features is the same.
its like the 4 runner got an F Sport front, I dont see what the big deal is. What I meant was the it looks like an evolution of the previous model just like how the 2IS and 3IS is. The front of the new IS is still similar to the 2IS basic features and shapes wise.

2015 Toyota 4Runner Proves Off-Road Credentials
The 2015 Toyota 4Runner is still a pretty oldschool vehicle. It may have some electronic aids and modern accouterments, but it’s still basically just body-on-frame ruggedness at a fairly affordable price.
The guys over at KBB took one out on an off-road adventure. They bit off more than they could chew, by going down a snowy hill that was obviously very difficult to climb back again. Yet even so, with some shoveling, it somehow managed to crawl back up and got them safely back.
It’s definitely not the kind of SUV for city dwellers, but for somebody who actually needs the off-road capability, then the 4Runner is a safe bet. Just make sure you fit it with suitable tires, as even the run in the video posted below would have been far less daunting with more specialized rubber.
