I think the engine offered in new 4Runners and tacomas is a 10 year old model. I like the “if it isn’t broke don’t fix it” mentality Toyota has managed to keep over the years. Emissions are catching up with them and they’re probably going to make a mess of transition to the new platform in upcoming model years though

Tacomas switched to the 3.5L 2GR-FKS with port + direct injection (& Atkinson cycle), years ago. 4Runners still have the old 4.0L 1GR-FE, port-injected. (and a 5-speed automatic! you're right about low-change mentality) Fuel economy is roughly similar (>= 11.0 L / 100 Km), as far as I know, as is power.
