Common questions about the TRJ150

When did the TRJ150 receive the 6-speed automatic transmission?
Toyota upgraded the TRJ150 from the 4-speed automatic to a 6-speed Super ECT automatic in June 2015, which greatly improved highway fuel economy.
Does the TRJ150 have a third row of seats?
Yes, many trim packages offer a 3rd-row seating system that folds flat into the rear cargo floor, unlike the older 120-series which folded up against the windows.
