overall
Summary
With 2,358 currently listed for sale and an average price of $35,515.00, 33.5% of 2020 Toyota 4Runners for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2020 Toyota 4Runner 4.85 / 5 stars.
71.2% of 2020 4Runner models on CarGurus are accident free.
The 2020 Toyota 4Runner stands out with its powerful V6 engine capable of off-road performance, a rugged design, and a range of advanced safety features including Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P).
Why it stands out
The 2020 Toyota 4Runner is highly regarded for its off-road capabilities and rugged aesthetics, appealing particularly to enthusiasts who prioritize durability and reliability. Its robust 4-liter V6 engine generates 270 horsepower, paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission that ensures significant towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds. For off-road adventurers, the 4Runner's body-on-frame construction and advanced traction systems like CRAWL control empower it to navigate challenging terrains with ease.
While it offers a comfortable ride with luxury options in higher trims, there is a tangible emphasis on functionality, making it ideal for those who venture beyond city roads. Notably, the integration of an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto adds modernity to its tech offerings, although it may still feel behind competitors in terms of overall technological advancements. The 4Runner's blend of ruggedness, reliability, and safety features marks it as a favorite among buyers who seek a genuine off-roading SUV.

Love the color and the ability to do anything in this bad boy. Drives off road super smooth and easy, drives on paced road as smooth as the SR5. This is the perfect vehicle.

The perfect dinosaur for me! I chose this make and model specifically for its older tech and build quality. Is it fast, no. Does it sip gas, nope. Does it feel solid, yes. This is my second one. The first is still running great at 20 years old. My only gripe is the type of OEM step bars. Easy to get in, but not the best for getting out of the vehicle. They will be swapped. Problem solved. This is a popular platform but it isn't the right vehicle for everyone. If you are considering a 4Runner, watch the Care Care Nut's review of the 5th gen 4Runners FIRST. Know what you are buying.

I have had a Lexus and 2 different 4 Runners. These are the best vehicles I have ever owned and that’s comparing them to Volvo, Dodge, Jeep, and BMW. The only thing I have a problem with is gas mileage but that’s what you get when you have 4 wheel drive. It would be nice if it had the push button lift for the tail gate but no big deal. They are awesome vehicles. I am on my 4th Toyota/Lexus brand.

This 2020 4 Runner is a great choice. I have a very active lifestyle. I surf, snowboard, cycle and take my two dogs almost everywhere I go. So this vehicle is perfect for what I need. The SR5 Premium model has just enough nice features that it feels like your driving a luxury car minus the high price tag. If you are looking for a true goat of a truck I recommend this vehicle.
