Before it is revealed at the 2013 Stagecoach Music Festival in Indio, Calif., Toyota has released two teaser images of the 2014 Toyota 4Runner.

The 4Runner is one of the few SUVs still on sale today that uses body-on-frame construction, and for 2014 it will continue to do so. For power, the 4Runner is currently driven by a 270-hp 4.0-liter V6, that may stay intact if Toyota keeps prescribing to the new body style, same old engine formula it has put to use on the new 2014 Tundra and Highlander.

The headlights on the 4Runner look to be lifted from the new RAV4, as does some of the front fascia.

Trim levels will stay the same in 2014, offering the base SR5, top-end limited, and off-road focused Trail Grade. All are offered with full-time multi-mode four-wheel drive, while the Trail Grade trim gets Toyota’s Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, which can disconnect the 4Runner’s stabilizer bars and allow for more suspension travel and better articulation.

The new 4Runner will be shown off at the 2013 Stagecoach Music Festival, described as California’s premiere country music festival, where Toyota has also setup a small off-road course for public use.
