    Well. I mean, the Rav and the Highlander, but that's it... haha nothing from the 4 Offroad marketed vehicles. Just Flex options.

    Ya but they got rid of the v6 option on the rav... As for this new one is be surprised if it's not a hybrid honestly. Toyota (and I believe that @Krezz will vouch for this) had a a goal that in 2012 they wanted to have a hybrid option for every vehicle (tundra included) obviously that didn't happen but I think they will try and get in to a hybrid truck market.

    Thinking about it though, wheeling a hybrid would be kinda nice... All that torque all the time, plus with the amount of hp they are able to get out of those now a days... Shit the Prius 105 ft lbs but is available through the entire power curve (ok not allll of it due to computer controlling) and the new supra is predicted to be a 475 hp off a hybrid system somewhere in between there with a v6 hybrid with 215(actually what the highlander makes)? That wouldn't be bad for wheeling at all. Only downside I see right off the back would be the ability to regear depending on where they put the electric motor... If it's before the t case no problem but if it's like the highlander with the motor connected to the axle doing a "low gear" would be like the new tacos "crawl control" very computer driven and you couldn't get the advantage of tcase gear reduction....

    Toyota is aiming still to offer each model in a Hybrid variant and now also looking more into the Hydrogen. Now technically even if they offer it else where that still counts. As apparently for example, they offer an Avalon Hybrid but only in California I hear? So in Canada we never knew about this as an option as it isn't here, but they have weird one offs like that.

    If done right a hybrid 4x would be totally fine and great on the pocket book. More to spend on parts!
