General nameplate overview

Unscoped catalog background, not specifications for a particular year or trim. Review status is unknown except for the assertions cited below.

The Toyota 4Runner is a body-on-frame mid-size SUV that has been sold in North America since 1984. Built on a truck-derived chassis and historically offered with robust V6 gasoline powertrains and traditional four-wheel-drive hardware, the 4Runner prioritizes durability, towing and off-road capability over luxury-car refinement. It has a long history of TRD (Toyota Racing Development) off-road variants and a strong reputation for longevity.

The sixth generation (internal code N500) debuted for the 2025 model year as a comprehensive redesign; the 2026 4Runner is a carryover year within that generation. Toyota continues to offer multiple trim levels, including off-road-focused TRD variants and more comfort-oriented Limited/Platinum offerings, with equipment and pricing that vary notably by trim and options.
