Total revamp of the Tundra in 2006. The Tundra will be totally redone. New engine with more horsepower than anything else. For a truck anyway. From what I got, Toyota is tired of being dead last. Must agree. My 4 runner couldn't get out of its own way.   Couldn't get much on the 2006 4 runner. New engine/more horsepower. I'm talking 300hp. Yes you can get the kit for 5k. Toyota wants to lead the trucks with more HP than any truck out there. Hoping for a total body redo. Maybe a multi link rear. OH man! wouldn't that be nice.

Wasn't the 4Runner all-new in 2003?. I would be very surprised if there were any major changes in body style in 2006. Most SUVs are on approximately 5-6 year makeover schedules.   - Mark Replies to this message: threxx (Aug 20, 2004 1:02 pm) easyt (Jul 07, 2009 5:09 am)

Its possible there could be a minor face lift on the '06, but nothing major. Normally Toyota will do a face lift for the fourth year of a model.   Launch date is supposedly 8/20 for the V6, but I haven't seen any pricing or vehicles yet. The V8 is scheduled to be released on 11/19.

Replying to: markjenn (Aug 15, 2004 10:56 pm) It's pretty common for almost any vehicle to receive a mid-life minor style freshening after 3-4 years, especially if certain aspects of the looks have received critisism or if there is a newer competing model that the company feels is taking away sales strictly based on the fact that it has a newer look.   Toyota has made minor cosmetic tweaks to almost all of their vehicles after 3-4 years, cars and trucks alike. The most recent example is the 2005 Camry which was all new in 2002, got a revised V6 motor for 2004 and a minor restyling for 2005... this behavior mirrors what we're all suspecting to happen with the 4Runner which was all new in 2003, will be getting VVT-i for 2005, and likely a refreshening in 2006.

#146 of 211 4Runner vs GX470 by jimxo Aug 21, 2004 (12:22 pm)
Are these two cars the same in size and performance? Replies to this message: rctennis3811 (Aug 22, 2004 8:41 am)

Replying to: jimxo (Aug 21, 2004 12:22 pm) I don't know if they're the same in size, but performance yes - they both have the 4.7L V8 which for 2005 produces 280HP...I think. They are built on the same platform however.
#148 of 211 V-6/5-speed auto? by otis12 Aug 22, 2004 (11:52 am)
Does the 4Runner V-6 get a 5-speed auto tranny for '05?
#149 of 211 They're Heeeere! by jwarthman Aug 22, 2004 (12:27 pm)
Otis, to answer your question, yes.   Take a look at the Toyota web site for all the details:   http://www.toyota.com/vehicles/2005/4runner/specs.html   Enjoy!   -- Jim
#150 of 211 Thanks by otis12 Aug 22, 2004 (1:35 pm)
Didn't know they were out yet. Kinda odd that MPG remains at 17/21 despite the tranny getting a 5th gear. Replies to this message: 4runnerfan (Aug 25, 2004 11:10 am) demoncleaner (Aug 26, 2004 6:21 am)

Replying to: otis12 (Aug 22, 2004 1:35 pm) Good question. Can anyone explain the following: (using 4x2 models as to compare somewhat equally) - 2005 V6 Tundra 4x2 which weighs about 4215 lbs achieves 18/25 mpg. - 2005 V6 4Runner 4x2 weighing 4090 lbs achieves 18/21. Why such a difference in highway mileage? Replies to this message: demoncleaner (Aug 26, 2004 6:21 am)
