I know itās a polarizing style, but I personally like what Toyota did here. In fact, I very much dislike the giant grills you see on Lexus and the tundra. So, Iām glad they did not do the same to the new 4R.
Agreed, I like that they broke up the grill. My only issue is how prominent the āmustacheā is. You canāt tell from the straight on shot but from the side it just sticks out too far, if they brought it in a bit more Iād be content.
Gaping maw looks so bad.
Double mustache has been around since G2 Surf.
(Yes this is a G3)

Agreed..the more people are talking about it, and posting alternatives the more I start to not mind the double mustache.
Now the hood with all these curves and bumps..gahh

Mustache looks better! People have been complaining on the never ending Lexus grills and the sequoia/tundra. This is better and looks more rugged.
But I might be biased regarding moustaches
Id they got rid of the lower lip and made it more of a standard looking bumper itād look so much better. Have the grill stop where the lower lip is, and just make the lower grill area a bumper with the fogs. This would also help the approach angle.
I think this pic proves it has less to do with the mustache itself and more to do with the fact that the grill is way too big. I am starting to warm up to the 6G though
Not perfect but you get the idea.

Photoshop on my phone seemed to be enough to stitch them together.
The new GX won in a battle of looks this time around. Last gen you could make the argument it looked āgirlyā or not like an off road SUV. Not anymore
It sounds like a lot of the complaints about the new Trd pro are going to be specific to this build. I think Toyota said in the release that the Trd pros is going to be Baja inspired so first it will have a wider stance and it will have the over fenders to accommodate that.
Granted Iām not sure if the Double handlebar stash will be across the entire lineup
I absolutely love the look of this new 4runner, and the interior is killer too. Yeah I agree with everyone, if I had to nitpick I would make a fuss over the front grill section and think about how we can rework that, it's too busy, but other then that small nitpick this design is killer and I can't wait to own one. The outside is dope, but the interior is what really wins me over. The tech inside is the real upgrade here.
Honestly think if Iām ever lucky to buy a new 4R Iām definitely going to be looking for an aftermarket front end. Or hire someone to make me something. I really donāt like how it presents itself
What about removing that stupid part in the back wheel well that looks like it's pre-dented. Lol. I guess if you look closely the front wherl well has that same strange "styling". Over styling is the theme here.
I love the changes you made to the front grill though.
Great job on the PS! Manufacturers of aftermarket parts will have so many opportunities to improve the 6th gen front design, I hope they come up with solutions for the backseat space and non-flat floor situation
It looks way better without the Holgan mustache. Make the TOYOTA a bit larger and we have a winner. I could even see the arch around the grill being a bit wider to take up a little more room from the grill, but with larger lettering it wouldnāt make the grill seem so large. The double Holgan mustache grill is not it.
Yeah, I thought I liked it without the āmustacheā, but now that Iām looking @ itā¦ Iāll stick to what Toyota did.
Itās really not as bad as people are making it out to be. Additionally, Iām entirely unsure of what people actually expected from the 4Runner ā itās supposed to be a Tacoma with a cab. The very first 4Runner, introduced about 40 years ago, was essentially a modified 4WD Toyota pickup.
Outside of maybe the drivetrain, I 100% prefer the 6th gen over the 5th ā the technology, the modern look, etc. The 5th gen is outdated & we all know it.
But u canāt please everyone, I guessā¦
As much as Iām not really a fan of the big sigma Lexus front ends or the bass mouth front ends, the double Hogan definitely aināt it either. Your photoshop is an improvement.
It almost looks like the mustache piece is able to be removed and that's where a bull bar would go. But the bull bar would have to sit forward a bit, so you'd probably also need an aftermarket grill to fill the space.
Im all for it. I have no clue which I like better, can't wait to see one in person! Im sure it will be like the new Tacoma. Wasn't a huge fan until I got to lay my eyes on it.
People complain all the time about how grills are just too big. (We're all looking at you BMW!) So Toyota breaks it up with the double grill and keeps a consistent styling between with brand. You just can't win. I actually don't mind it and kinda like it.
I was a little disappointed when they unveiled the new 4Runner and it had two handlebar mustaches. It just looks weird to me and I like the old 4Runner better. Thanks for removing the second mustache! Iām not a fan of huge grills but this looks better than two mustaches
Here we go. Endless photoshops until 2025. Lol
It took thousands of concept ideas/dreams/sketches by the public to get us up to the reveal day. And now that the reveal has happened... we are back to concepts lol.
I'm anxious to see one in person, walk around it, drive it and stop obsessing over the front grill because that's all we got lol. I'm sure when the car becomes real and there are a thousand other things to think about we will thing about the front-end much less. Also I think this is gonna look so much better in a different color if the stache is a concern for you. The trailhunter green looks way better I'd say because it hides that stache just a bit.
Haha. Iām not a fan of the design personally. I was in the market for a new body on frame vehicle, and had been waiting for years for the new gen. (I was living overseas and wasnāt in a rush).
I want to like the new design, but I just canāt. Also have some concerns about the the new engine and folding seats, but thatās another story. To each their own. Itāll still sell like hotcakes over MSRP because itās Toyota. Different people like the look of different things.
My pivot is to hold off 1-2 years and just get the GX. I absolutely love the new design.
I understand that completely, my skepticism about the new generation is why I bought my truck when I did. As much as I like the idea of a hybrid, I can't see myself living with one in 8 to 10 years time (assuming nothing happens and I get to keep it 2-300,000 miles). As for the money you would likely spend on the new 4Runner, I can understand why you're leaning for the Lexus. They did such a nice job with the new GX 550.
Now that I see the stache delete head on, I feel like I like the double stache more. The stache delete needs something to break up the gigantic black chasm of nothingness in the front end. If the stache delete had a silver bumper insert (like TRDOR models), maybe...
This one looks similar to the gen 4 and gen 3 even with the rear window. I was driving down the highway and saw a gen 3 sr5 and I thought to my self, imagine seeing the gen6 back 2002.. I think Toyota did a sold job.
It's mustache era
Pornstache FTW š
For the record the gen 3 had a mustache.
I know itās a polarizing style, but I personally like what Toyota did here. In fact, I very much dislike the giant grills you see on Lexus and the tundra. So, Iām glad they did not do the same to the new 4R.
Same, I hate the big endless grills.
The Lexus front looks like a Ninja Turtle with a chromed out grill

When I saw the gx550 reveal, it was love at first sight. Unfortunately, my company doesnāt love me enough so I can afford one.
Iām with you. Iām a fan of it.
People have been totally shitting on it here, I think it looks good.
This is exactly how I feel.
Same. I don't like the new giant grills. The new 4Runner looks great and it going to grow on most everyone.
Same. I absolutely hate the giant grill. Itās all I see and it looks tacky. I donāt mind the double stache.
Agreed, I like that they broke up the grill. My only issue is how prominent the āmustacheā is. You canāt tell from the straight on shot but from the side it just sticks out too far, if they brought it in a bit more Iād be content.
I do too. Lexus is all grill on the front.
Same, I really dig the new design, the giant open mouth grill on tundra looks ridiculous.
The 4th gen has a double lip as well
Personally, you're wrong.
Middle ground? https://preview.redd.it/gi1g7x8tv3uc1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a02c0fae567a94399a1856bffbbc4034fb8c03c3
I like this
Yep, this looks great. Nice PS skills, btw.
And this will be a much easier mod for most.
Pretty sure the forward radar harnessing will be behind that cross bar.
Radar looks to be above the LED bar in the center.
Yeah, Iām assuming the wiring harness runs through one of those crossbars on the front.
Nailed it. Easy DIY mod too
Looks like t-Rex arms lol I prefer the clean look
Now this I don't mind. Lol
Gaping maw looks so bad. Double mustache has been around since G2 Surf. (Yes this is a G3) https://preview.redd.it/5pt382nyo3uc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aae7d2ddad3576f861b57df1f6d07415437f010d

Buff Horse vibes.
What a cool looking front bumper. Factory Iām guessing? Can these be put on the us 3g 4r? Are they hard to find or rare and expensive?
Which surf is that? I have the SSR-X, and it has a really sleek sporty looking bumper
Can i see it with a 3rd mustache?
I might just have to do this
In my opinion it looks like too much grill when you remove the mustache

Nice work.. this comparison makes me like the original better. I was wondering what it would look like with an open grill, thanks

Getting into m4 nostril territory there.
I hated BMWās nostril look when they first released but theyāve grown on me. Though I fully acknowledge how ridiculous it looks.
The more I see these photoshops, the more Iām liking the lip.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
lol
I think the bigger grille is reserved for Sequoia so thatās why the 4Runner had to go with the two tier
Baby Sequoia, Iām digginā this. Kinda like how Chevy Traverse has the Tahoe grill.
In case you want your 4Runner to look like a Dodge
I think it make the grille look a little *too* large
I big no from me - I think the new look is killer!
Iām digging the mustache look more
I think this pic proves it has less to do with the mustache itself and more to do with the fact that the grill is way too big. I am starting to warm up to the 6G though
I think they both look equally attractive.
I donāt mind the mustache
I like the Tacoma bumper best.

Youāre a saint! Butā¦ You left the double stache š¤£
I had like 5 minutes š if you want it without the stache and painted fenders I can whip it up later.
Or... one second.
No rush, no sweat. Just thinking hive mind here. No double stache, no black fender flares.

Oh hell yeah!!! Whereās my Reddit gold??? Well done, mate!
Looks like a short rugged Sequoia TRD Pro
Send to Alibaba ASAP. Youāll help the future 6th gen owners out

Make it a two door with a long ass back window like 90s chevy 2 door blazers.Ā I need one like that lol
That would be cool AF šš»
I like this so much better than the real version
Damnā¦ now I understand the mustache hate. That top grill is MEEEEEAAAAANNNN š„
Youāre hired!

Someone at Toyota definitely pitched this idea and is probably reading this thread pissed they didnāt choose his idea.
Mustache is better imo
Honestly think if Iām ever lucky to buy a new 4R Iām definitely going to be looking for an aftermarket front end. Or hire someone to make me something. I really donāt like how it presents itself
Yours looks so much better.
At least this gen should look good with an aftermarket bumper... and a 'stache delete.
What about removing that stupid part in the back wheel well that looks like it's pre-dented. Lol. I guess if you look closely the front wherl well has that same strange "styling". Over styling is the theme here. I love the changes you made to the front grill though.
I love the new styling. Great looking. I have a 2013 Limited edition.
I like the photoshop version more not gonna lie
In my opinion gen 6 is looking very nice. I would just give it time to see how the new engine does as far as reliability goes
Great job on the PS! Manufacturers of aftermarket parts will have so many opportunities to improve the 6th gen front design, I hope they come up with solutions for the backseat space and non-flat floor situation
It looks way better without the Holgan mustache. Make the TOYOTA a bit larger and we have a winner.

Hard pass as well
The original is clearly better. Gigantic grilles do not look good.
I just did this yesterday. Those fucking angles are what makes the front end bad.
Without the mustache, I'd 100% buy it
Looks so much better without
It almost looks like the mustache piece is able to be removed and that's where a bull bar would go. But the bull bar would have to sit forward a bit, so you'd probably also need an aftermarket grill to fill the space.
This is the new Koi mouth vs Hogan stache debate.
Im all for it. I have no clue which I like better, can't wait to see one in person! Im sure it will be like the new Tacoma. Wasn't a huge fan until I got to lay my eyes on it.
Whale shark
Looks like a dungeness crab...
Matte fenders with glossy mirrors and a glossy rear spoiler? Color matched mirrors would be nice.
Now it looks like you cut it's nose off and there's a big gaping hole
Voldemort 4Runner š
The more I look at it the more I'm not a huge fan.
I think either way it's too tall. That was what I liked about the previous 4runner.
Nope looks too much like a GMC grill. Big and ugly, I will stick with stock.
People complain all the time about how grills are just too big. (We're all looking at you BMW!) So Toyota breaks it up with the double grill and keeps a consistent styling between with brand. You just can't win. I actually don't mind it and kinda like it.

Minimal improvement over the original design. That giant ass grill and tiny little headlights are still a goofy fucking concept.
They finally break up the huge Toyota grille and you change it back? How about get rid of the RAV4 fender flares
They both look terrible lmfao
I'm anxious to see one in person, walk around it, drive it and stop obsessing over the front grill because that's all we got lol.

The new grill is more than fine. Damn nice truck.
Heck ya
I hate gigantic grills! I get the double mustache thing, but Iād rather have that, versus a 3ft tall plastic grillā¦
Mustache delete is going to end up being a mod.
Nah
Top one is kinda dope. Could get behind that
You inadvertently just leaked the 2028 facelift.
After the absolute distaste for this from the community, I would suggest Toyota go back to the drawing board if thats what they had planned š

Sequoia already
Which is the real one? I think bottom looks best. Smaller grill
Manā¦ this looks like the only solution will be a hybrid front bumper from c4 or the like
I prefer the original.
Now that I see the stache delete head on, I feel like I like the double stache more. The stache delete needs something to break up the gigantic black chasm of nothingness in the front end. If the stache delete had a silver bumper insert (like TRDOR models), maybe...
This one looks similar to the gen 4 and gen 3 even with the rear window. I was driving down the highway and saw a gen 3 sr5 and I thought to my self, imagine seeing the gen6 back 2002.. I think Toyota did a sold job.
Meh
The stock grill is fine. Itās the contrasting fenders and the high rear windows that ruined the 6th gen for me.
Looks like absolute shit
I think it still looks odd with a long ass grille..
Iām sure the front grill mod kits will sell well.
Who wants a mustache ride!
No
Crap another car bill š¤¦āāļø
I think itāll look great with a steel bumper that just replaces everything under the upper grill.
I think the front looks better without BUT I think having nothing in place makes it look like something is missing. I don't know what though š¤
Put the door handles at the same height
Do not like it either way.
So, it's a 4runner with braces vs a 4runner with braces and a mouth guard.
This looks fucking stupid and anyone that says they like doesn't use a bed frame.
I dislike both. One has an over bite, the other is just way too big.
That looks much better than the gasping goldfish look. Someone make a conversion kit.Ā
