The cabin certainly doesn't feel $60K­-plus nice, and I'm not sold on the benefits of the hybrid system. The lineup's overlap with the also-new Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus GX550 further complicates matters. While there's a lot to like here, if I were in the market, I'd be very dis­cerning with the order form. —Mike Sutton

Modern powertrains are resilient. It's rare in our testing to observe a thermal overload, but with Toyota's latest hybrid configurations that power the Sequoia, the Tacoma, and the Tundra, we've noticed the transmission tem­peratures flirting with the red zone. The same goes for the new 4Run­ner. After a handful of acceleration runs, the transmission heats up to the point that it up­shifts earlier in the tach swing, and the thrust is dialed back. We don't hear a fan blowing in an attempt to cool the transmission fluid, and the temps are very slow to recover. All this while testing in mild ambient conditions has us wondering how this gearbox would stand up to abuse in the dunes or in sweltering heat. —David Beard
