The beginning of the 2021 model year is a time for change and improvement for Toyota. That change might mean new models, redesigns, or just a few updates. While the Japanese automaker is saying ‘Hi’ to new models like the revived 2021 Toyota Venza, the 4Runner is just getting some updates this year. The 2021 Toyota 4Runner will continue the design set by the 2010 model year, but with a few changes to available features.

What is the 2021 Toyota 4Runner Trail Special Edition?

The 2021 Toyota 4Runner gets a new version called the Trail Special Edition. This iteration of the 4Runner gets black badging, a sliding cargo deck, and dark gray wheels. These features bring a new look and functionality to the 4Runner so those who enjoy its off-road capability can prove it on any road.

Does the 2021 Toyota 4Runner Have LED Headlights?

While the 2021 Toyota 4Runner isn’t the first Toyota vehicle to have LED headlights, it now comes with LED headlights as a standard feature. Often times, LED headlights have been a feature reserved for higher trim levels, but Toyota decided to go all the way when it came to lighting and gave them to every trim for 2021.

What Other Changes Have Come to the 2021 Toyota 4Runner?

Toyota continues to maximize the off-roading part of the model’s personality. For 2021, the Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro trim is getting its shock absorbers returned, and the whole thing will sit on top of a new set of wheels. These wheels are 17 x 7.5-Inch wheels that are painted matte-black. These wheels are made by advanced flow-form technology for improved strength, lightness, and shock resistance. The new wheels and retuned shock absorbers increase the already formidable off-road capability of the TRD Pro version of the Toyota 4Runner.
