SPIED: Completely Unwrapped, This Is The All-New Toyota Fortuner — Is This The Next-Gen 4Runner?

SPIED: Completely Unwrapped, This Is The All-New Toyota Fortuner — Is This The Next-Gen 4Runner?
It's truly amazing what you find cruising the 'net. For those of you who are not aware, major companies sometimes offer different products for other markets. One such example is the Toyota Fortuner.

Based off the rough and tumble Toyota Hilux, which has on plenty of occasions proven how dependable a Toyota can be, the Fortuner is a vehicle offered for select Asian markets. According to what we've heard, these pics were snapped in Thailand.

But if you take a good, long look at the Fortuner you may start to realize something. It would be pretty cool to have this over in the good 'ol U-S-of-A, no? It looks great, has a decent looking interior and would probably make for a nice replacement for the 4Runner. Considering the 4Runner was known as the Hilux Surf, it's clear that there is some Hilux blood coursing through the 4Runner's veins.

As the 4Runner is the company's current bad-ass civilian offering over here, do YOU think this is the next-gen 4Runner?

What happens when you cross a 4 Runner with a Murano. Wow, is that thing ugly. Plus, the interior looks to be a generation behind and the crossover look on what looks to be a truck platform does not work.

I find this very handsome looking. The interior is almost Scandinavian in its simplicity and rightness of form.

It is MUCH better resolved than the Nissan Morono (sic). I'd graft on the spindle and replace the truly horrible GX.

The Fortuner has a look that would definitely seem appropriate next to the RX.

May be too upscale and not off road enough for some, though Jeep seems to be doing okay with this direction. Any how I am sure the US design group will want to do their own spin. I myself like the look, and think it would do well here.

Yes the steering is on the wrong side, in other words this will make it to USA as LEXUS, just swap the badges (PRADO overseas = Lexus GX in the USA).

Good grief!! Toyota cannot make a good looking SUV worth a damn!

We have the Fortuner here in Singapore and I think you're forgetting one major thing with American's...SIZE! The Fortuner is tiny, it's the size of a Rav4 but raised much higher. So this is no way the next 4Runner.

108 inches for wheelbase makes it only 2 inches shorter in wheelbase than the Lexus GX, so it would be quite doable.

The whole line of Lexus and Toyota SUVs (only) front ends are looking TERRIBLE. The LEXUS SUVs have that huge catfish looking front end. This is what happens when these car designers try so hard to be different. The CURRENT 4-Runner has those nasty looking vertical slits on each side of the front bumper. What's that all about?? I got an older 2007 Tacoma that I use as my beater. Reliability GREAT; Looks - that's another story.

No it is not the next gen 4runner.
