About this episode

( https://www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! In this episode of TFL Car Chat, Roman and Tommy get behind the wheel of the highly anticipated 2026 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro to see if the sixth-generation icon still holds the crown. After a full walkaround and drive, they dive into the new i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain and updated off-road tech to determine if this redesign maintains the rugged simplicity of its predecessors or if the 4Runner has finally lost its way in a sea of modern complexity.

The conversation then moves to the studio as Kase and Tommy break down the latest off-road headlines, including rumors of Lincoln developing a body-on-frame competitor to the Mercedes G-Wagon and Ford’s updated Tremor packaging for the Super Duty lineup. They also share the latest updates on the ever-growing TFL project fleet, from Tommy’s newest flat-fender Jeep purchase to the surprising discovery that the transmission in Kase’s Land Rover actually functions. Finally, the team introduces the newest member of the fleet, a classic Isuzu Rodeo, and discusses what the future holds for this 90s off-road survivor.
