Considering a 2008--but when is the next redesign??

 

I believe I heard 2010 but coming out in late 2009, does someone else know for certain?

 

I believe thats the redeisgn date for the Toyota 4runner. The GX might have the same date or maybe a year later. They have already push that date back a year.

 

I haven't seen anything definitive, but that makes the most sense to me. The 3rd gen 4Runner lasted for 7 model years from '96-'02. The 4th gen 4Runner / GX will be in it's 7th model for '09, so presumably '10 will be the redesigned model year.

 

I just went to the dealership on Saturday to talk with our salesman about the new LX570 (HATED IT! ). He did tell me that the GX is slated for a redesign model year 2010 with a late 2009 release. He doesn't expect any major changes, but a lot of the "little things" will be addressed. The RX redesign (coming soon) and the SC redesign (2009 model year) will precede the GX.

 

Thanks a lot for the info, Folks!

 

Aside from price, what did you not like about the LX?

 

The thing that did it for me was the lines in the front end, both the hood lines and the wierd headlight bulge. We also weren't too happy about the cluttered up controls area near the shifter.

I research every big purchase we make, but I'm still very much an impulse buyer. On paper, I loved the LX. It has great features, they've increased the interior leg room, the list goes on and on. The deal make or break for me is when I see it. I knew I would either love it or hate it, and I just hated it from one look.
