Changes to the 2026 4Runner vs. the 2025 (standard trailer brake controller, sound dampening (hood & engine bay), interior door panel filler/rubber

[Cranberry]

My 25 ORP has the 360 pano view, looks like they took that off of all trims except the limited and platinum for 2026.

Wish I had a trailer break, threaded frame, sound dampening…. But wouldn’t trade that for the 360 pano view.

Where did u see that?

When i check the american and canadian site it appears the full camera view is available on both still

American site, to be clear I’m talking about the top down view of the car that appears when you’re in low speed, not the multi-terrain monitor:

In canada that feature was not available on the 2025 as well. Are u able to select the 2025 year and see if it was a feature then in America?

It doesn’t allow me to select 2025, but I sure have that feature on my 2025 ORP I-force max

Hey Friends,

To better understand the key changes in the 2026 model i have revised the first post of the thread with the update differences broken out between Canada and America. I will keep updating that first post as we discover more.

MTM and PVM have some of the same views and features so it's not surprising they get confused. Notably, its not possible for both to exist at the same time.

I’m ok with that as I have found out that turning my head gives me 360 pano view.

Maybe I don’t know what PVM is — I thought it was this top-down view on the right side of my screen.

 

[mangomango]

I think the way Toyota presents the options is just a little confusing.

My new understanding is that MTM is really PVM + some additional features. Around 1:30 in this video, it says you access MTM from the PVM menu:

So seems to me that MTM includes that top-down view, and is strictly superior to PVM?

Our 2026 ORP (non-hybrid) has 360 pano view.

My US 2026 ORP (non-hybrid) does have the top-down view (360 pano). The trailer brake controller was part of the tow tech package, without which you do not get a trailer brake controller. I also have a view for the sides (is this the same as curb view?). The SDM option is only available for ORPs that also have the iForceMax hybrid motor (standard on the Trailhunter and Pro). I have not checked to see if all of the slider mounting holes are threaded.

In Canada for 2026 the Brake Controller is only included on the Hybrid models. None of the non-hybrid models come with it, and it is not available as a dealer installed option either

That is concerning. I too got the call from my dealer recently that the 2025 Limited I ordered in June has been allocated and expected to arrive next month (Feb.). When he said that I’ll be getting a 2026, as expected there is a price increase but he said the truck now comes with the digital rearview mirror and the brake controller, the latter which I will never use.

The Toyota Canada webpage shows that the digital rearview mirror IS on the 2026 Limited, but the brake controller is not. I hope your dealer is correct and the webpage is wrong (regarding the brake controller!)

If you also click to build the 4runner, in teh interiori view you can see the TRD ORP model does have a break controller installed.

Please also note that all of my comments on this is only related to the ORD Hybrid model, i ahve not researched any of the other build models.

@Cranberry can you please update the initial post — I think PVM was never an option on the pro/th/orp, they all have MTM which seems to include all the views (including top down pano) that PVM has, plus additional views.

My apologies for causing the confusion.
