It'll be interesting to see what it does on higher octane fuel, but I don't expect that +20whp is a reality on fuel alone. There doesn't seem to be any indication that it's pulling much timing (if any at all) on the factory tune.
That said, there's certainly more in the proverbial tank and...
Manufacturers rate power and torque at the flywheel, not at the tires.
Hybrid is quite a bit higher. We're gaining about 24whp and 63 ft-lbs of torque, which is a nice amount.
Front:
75086-35090 (LH)
75085-35090 (RH)
Rear:

Total parts cost will be around $1300, so not worth it. NYTOP has FRP for $749 and carbon starting at $1249.
For those who are curious about the difference in output between the Hyrbid and non-Hybrid powertrains, here's what you can expect;
We put two identically spec'd Tacoma's on our Dynojet chassis dyno a few weeks ago...except one is sporting the Hybrid I-Force Max engine. Both were on 87 octane...
Stock size tire? Non-hybrid?
FYI, Eco mode will affect throttle input and shift tables. Basically, throttle input is dampened, and it will shift earlier and hold a higher gear longer to reduce RPM.
There is probably some truth to that, but I really think what they'd have to sacrifice to make the 4Runner Hybrid gain anywhere near the gas mileage that would really satisfy us would ruin it.
Or, it would just make it entirely too expensive. Battery technology is probably part of the reason...
You're comparing an eco hybrid in a unibody SUV to a performance hybrid in a body-on-frame SUV. They really are two VERY different vehicles, and the hybrid systems are entirely different.
My wife has a Rav4 Hybrid, and it could not be more different in driving dynamics and implementation.
Honestly, I've never seen a vehicle on scales anywhere near curb weight. This actually is pretty close, considering the larger wheels/tires.
Their curb weight measurement is definitely going to be based on the weeny highway tires. These ridge grapplers and 18" wheels probably weigh at least...
Did this at work last week just for the sake of doing it. Here's the actual scale weight of a 6th gen 4runner. Specifically, this is a Hybrid TRD ORP with a full tank of gas, 18" TRD Wheels and Nitto Ridge Grappler upgrade. (Whatever size Toyota is installing).
