2027 6th Gen Changes

[JasonNewYork]

It appears Toyota finally made it's first significant changes to the 6th gen 4Runner over the two previous years, not including TRD Pro special color of the year. I made a list for my own knowledge. Please add anything I missed. I'm focusing on the two lower trims. When I purchased my '25 SR5, I was also considering an OR base as well. I kind of regret not going with that model. To be honest, I was upset that Toyota removed power seats from the SR5 as the 5th gen had them. I'm also a big fan of heated seats. Not because they keep your butt warm, but they feel great on my 50 year old back during long trips. I also hate the puny 17" wheels and 245 tires. I wish Toyota had 18s standard on all trims. The wheels look out of place, too small and too far in (offset). Of course I can buy new wheels and tires to correct this. The big question, should I trade up to a '27 SR5 or '27 OR or just keep my '25?

Prices went up too.

Idk, I'm happy with my 26 SR5. I really don't care about powered or heated seats at all. Ngl, it would be nice to have a powered rear liftgate, but that's mostly because I'm tired of my wife complaining that it's too heavy to close.

But overall, nice upgrades that most would-be buyers will appreciate
