You mean WHAT CHANGES correct? Because we can't just walk into the dealership and order what we want. It doesn't happen like that.

I don't think any much changes at all will be implement since I know well how the Japanese works with supply chains and recovery the initial RD investment. In fact don't be surprised with the ''DOWN GRADED" neither with all these natural disasters, tariffs and so on.

Here is one case example. I have 2025 Trail Hunter. The gas tank skid plate was steel. But there had been case of 2026 Toyota PIO decided to use COMPOSITE material gas tank skid plate like the Toyota Tacoma. Little things like this people won't notice it at all.

technically you can but 99% of dealers wont let you see the screen to do it or even interact with it.

here is the screen the dealer uses to pick and choose a trim build out, this just happens to be mine when i did it, since the general manager let me come around and check off the boxes on the screen.

and here is my window sticker from the above options i picked ...

No you can not. It is all allocation to regions and dealers are making trade around. You can’t just walk in and order what ever you want. It would be beyond madness especially comes down to American consumer’s attitude and taste. They can’t just modify the assembly line for 100 different demands from 100 different consumers. I was at the plant where they build the 4Runners 6 months ago

There are PIO and DIO. Those are may be acceptable. You can not just place an order with the factory parts on your car period. It doesn’t work that way. Go ahead and google/AI and see if they tell you differently.

Otherwise you would see TRD trim with Trail Hunter and or TRD PROs manufacture parts. Welcome to madness.

the allocation reserve request screen dynamically changes depending on the model and trim. some boxes cannot be selected or it throws up and error to uncheck the option per the trim requirements.

trust me, i've been thru this process with multiple different models (2004 4runner, 2012 tacoma, 2014 4runner, 2016 tacoma, 2018 tundra, 2023 tundra, 2025 4runner and now 2026 4runner)

its there, you just have to have a dealer be transparent enough to let you see the screens

2022 tundra (took so long it turned into a 2023 tundra) allocation reserve request screenshots

2025 4runner allocation reserve request screenshots (excuse the crappy screen grabs)

Without commenting on what TMNA allows currently, this is a bad take considering plenty of oems let you do just that

 

[Nodak]

yeah its a trade off, infinite custom configurations or targeted amount of configs.

toyota and most other asian oem's limit your options to keep things simple

usa oem you have so many different systems interacting with each other, no wonder there is so many issues with software/hardware just going kaput.

dont get me wrong, toyota has its software/hardware conflicts but not to the same degree as usa oem vehicles.

thats just my take away from what i have seen.

Don’t do it! The TRD Pro color is

Madness? It's a pretty normal thing to do, going back decades. Toyota just doesn't mess with it for the US. I've read that while we cannot custom order one, people in Japan can. Toyota allows it. They can even pick custom paint colors (not sure I believe that, but I read it lol) on what they're ordering.

But Ford, GM, etc., you can absolutely order exactly what you want and they'll build it and ship it to your dealer. It's very common and not a difficult process.

Duh again. You just said it. Toyota doesn’t mess with US. AGAIN They know better how American’s attitude when it comes pick this and that. The Japanese know better. Who the hell want to deal with madness. So there I’m glad Toyota doesn’t allow American walk in and create madness for them over there.

1. You just said it. Toyota doesn't mess with it for the US. We are in the USA so let just keep the conversation in the USA. Toyota doesn't mess with it because they know better how American is.
2. Toyota has 9 different trims for the 6th Gen 4Runner. That is 9 number 9 now. And guess what? American still can't choose which trims they want nevertheless entertain them the idea of walking in and ordering what ever they wanted. Especially the plant in different continent and a shit load of different time zone.
3. Yes it is not that difficult. Are you sure about that? I was living in Japan for over 5 years. I visited the plant where they made the 6th Gen 4Runner. I witnessed how they built the first 15 4Runners Trail Hunter for the US market and one of them was mine. The Japanese like to keep thing simple and direct for quality control purpose. 100 different wants and needs from the American's consumer is the last thing they want to add on that equation to compromise the quality control process.
4. And that is why Ford, GM and so on quality are sub standard comparing to Japanese counter part. Have you ever think about that? That may be the cause.
