2026 Toyota 4Runner

The 2026 Toyota 4Runner is available in several trims, each offering a unique set of features to cater to different preferences and needs. The SR5 is the well-equipped base model with a solid list of standard features. For those looking for sportier design elements and enhanced handling, the TRD Sport trim offers just that. The TRD Off-Road is designed for those who love to venture off the beaten path, with a locking rear differential and specialized features. The TRD Pro trim is the ultimate off-road model, equipped with FOX® shocks and all-terrain tires for the most rugged conditions. If you're looking for luxury along with performance, the Limited trim brings leather seating, advanced technology, and premium comfort.

The 2026 Toyota 4Runner is powered by a new, more efficient 2.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine (i-FORCE), delivering 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, offering smoother shifts and better overall performance compared to the previous generation's 4.0-liter V6 engine. For those seeking even more power, the i-FORCE MAX hybrid system is available, which produces a total of 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, providing enhanced towing capability and efficiency. With the new engine, the 2026 4Runner offers a maximum towing capacity of 6,000 lbs, making it ready for both work and adventure.

The 2026 Toyota 4Runner continues to deliver exceptional off-road performance, now built on the more rigid TNGA-F platform shared with the Toyota Tacoma and Land Cruiser, offering up to 10.1 inches of ground clearance. For off-road enthusiasts, the 4Runner features the new Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism (SDM), replacing the old KDSS, allowing for greater wheel articulation during rock crawling and easy re-engagement for on-road stability. The Multi-Terrain Select system, available in both 4WD-High and 4WD-Low, adjusts traction control for surfaces like mud, sand, and snow, while Crawl Control manages low-speed off-road acceleration and braking. Depending on the trim, the TRD Off-Road comes with Bilstein shocks and an electronic locking rear differential, while the TRD Pro offers FOX shocks and the Trailhunter trim is equipped with Old Man Emu shocks, high-mount air intake, and rock rails, making the 2026 4Runner a true off-road powerhouse.

The 2026 Toyota 4Runner continues its tradition of versatility with key updates in seating and cargo space. The seven-passenger option is available on the SR5 and Limited trims, while other trims, especially those with the hybrid powertrain, are five-passenger models due to battery placement. The second-row seats feature a new "tumble-fold" system, where the seat bottoms flip up, and the seats tumble forward to maximize cargo depth. SofTex synthetic leather is standard on trims like the TRD Sport and TRD Off-Road, while the Limited and Platinum trims feature genuine leather. For hybrid models, the cargo floor is slightly higher to accommodate the battery pack, reducing vertical space, and the sliding cargo deck is replaced by a flatter, simplified load floor or under-floor storage in many trims. The power rear window, which allows easy loading of long gear without opening the hatch, remains standard across all trims, adding to the vehicle's practicality.

The 2026 Toyota 4Runner comes standard with the advanced Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 (TSS 3.0), which includes features like Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian, Bicyclist, and Motorcyclist Detection, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Lane Tracing Assist. New additions like Proactive Driving Assist and Road Sign Assist enhance driving safety, while Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert are now standard. Higher trims offer the Panoramic View Monitor for a 360-degree camera view, and the updated airbag system ensures top-notch protection, making the 2026 4Runner a leader in advanced safety technology.
