2026 Toyota 4Runner

SR5 covers the essentials well. It’s practical, capable, and flexible enough for daily use, with available third-row seating and Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 included from the start. TRD Sport and TRD Sport Premium shift the focus slightly. Sport-tuned suspension and more refined interiors make them better suited for pavement, while still carrying the same structural strength underneath. TRD Off-Road and TRD Off-Road Premium are where things get serious. Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control, and an available locking rear differential give you real tools—not just marketing language—when the terrain gets technical. Limited and Platinum step into a more refined space. Leather-trimmed seating, upgraded materials, and additional convenience features create a quieter, more comfortable environment without losing capability. Trailhunter and TRD Pro sit at the top for a reason. Advanced suspension setups, 33-inch all-terrain tires, and features like the Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism give them the kind of articulation and control that changes what’s possible off-road. Hybrid i-FORCE MAX models are integrated across select trims, adding performance and efficiency without changing the vehicle’s core identity.

There’s a clear split here, and it’s a good one. The standard i-FORCE 2.4L Turbocharged engine produces 278 hp and 317 lbs. ft. of torque. It’s smooth, responsive, and well suited to both city driving and highway travel. The i-FORCE MAX hybrid system takes things further. 326 hp and 465 lbs. ft. of torque give it a stronger, more immediate pull—especially noticeable when you’re loaded up or towing. Towing reaches up to 6,000 lbs. when properly equipped, which makes it more than just a trail machine. It’s a practical one too. This is where the 4Runner separates itself. It adapts. That’s the key. Available 2WD, part-time 4WD, and full-time 4WD systems let it respond to whatever surface you’re on without overthinking it. Off-road systems like Multi-Terrain Select and Crawl Control take over when things get slow and technical, giving you control where it matters most. On the road, the new generation feels more settled. Suspension tuning has improved, and the ride is more composed without losing that solid, planted feel.

Inside, the 4Runner balances durability with a noticeable step forward in comfort. Seating for up to 7 gives you flexibility, especially for families or longer trips. The space feels usable, not just available. Cargo capacity reaches up to 90.2 cu. ft. with the seats folded, which is enough for gear, equipment, or a full weekend away without compromise. Materials improve as you move up trims. SofTex® and leather-trimmed seating, heated and ventilated options, and more refined finishes make it easier to spend long hours inside. It still feels tough—but no longer feels basic.

This generation makes a real leap here. An available 14-inch touchscreen anchors the dashboard, paired with an available 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. It’s clean, responsive, and easy to navigate. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are standard, and voice controls actually work the way you expect them to. Off-road tech is just as important. Multi-Terrain Monitor and Panoramic View Monitor give you visibility around and under the vehicle, which becomes critical on uneven terrain. Towing tech like Trailer Backup Guide and Trailer Reverse Assist adds another layer of usability.

Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 comes standard. That includes Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, and Full-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. Available features like Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and a digital rearview mirror improve visibility in both traffic and off-road conditions.
