What's new?

The TRD Sport model is a new addition to the Toyota 4Runner SUV lineup. This model features a modified suspension for improved on-road performance, a hood scoop, customized interior accents, and heated faux-leather seats. Debuting as one of eight trim levels (with SR5, Trail Special Edition, SR5 Premium, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, Limited, and TRD Pro), the TRD Sport level offers an affordable aesthetic and equipment increase.

Performance

The V6 in the more recent model feels more than competent on the road and off, with smooth acceleration. Like its primary competitors, the 4Runner performs admirably on various terrains. As an added plus, the 4Runner can haul up to 5,000 pounds at every trim level, so it can easily transport a couple of ATVs or a small trailer to an off-grid area.

Safety & Driver Assistance Tech

Nothing has changed significantly from previous versions. Standard features include a pre-collision system with pedestrian recognition, lane departure warning, traction control, automatic high beams, vehicle stability control, adaptive cruise control, anti-lock brakes, electronic brake-force distribution, braking aid, and smart stop technology.

Infotainment

In recent years, Toyota has increased its technological prowess, and the entertainment system has vastly improved. The latest 4Runner features an eight-inch touchscreen with sharper graphics than its predecessor, in addition to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connection and a six-speaker stereo system. The Limited and TRD Pro trims have a JBL audio system with 15 speakers and exceptional sound quality.

The front console features a single USB media port, while the cargo compartment provides four more USB charging ports alongside 12-volt and 120-volt power plugs to satisfy your device-loving guests.

Cargo Storage & Space

Those seeking a spacious SUV will discover the 4Runner as an excellent option. With the additional third row stored, the 4Runner boasts ample cargo space, and a clever sliding rearview mirror provides a convenient entry point that keeps everything, including family pets, secure behind the tailgate.

Clever, useful storage compartments make items conveniently accessible and hold more than expected. The cockpit's controls are simple and intuitive thanks to their prominent labels and large, easy-to-grasp knobs. It is packed with usefulness.

Style & Design

The long-running Toyota SUV is renowned for its dependability and endurance. There is a high level of quality control in the construction.

The 4Runner's interior does not pretend to be anything it is not. Even wearing work or winter gloves, the cabin's large knobs are simple to manipulate. The layout is intelligent and easy, and finding the appropriate button is an issue of muscle memory rather than navigating a touchscreen menu. It helps the driver keep their eyes on the road, which is good quality.

FAQs

Does the 4Runner have a third row?

Yes! However, not all trim levels include this feature. To have third-row seats, you must upgrade to a higher trim level, such as the SR5, Limited, or Nightshade.

Is the 4Runner lifted?

Yes, however, only the TRD model is lifted. Any Toyota with TRD Pro trim comes with an improved Fox suspension. This suspension system has retuned high-performance shocks with detachable rear reservoirs and TRD-tuned front springs that give a one-inch lift.
