Used 2022 Toyota 4Runner for Sale nearRaleigh, NC

How much does the 2022 Toyota 4Runner cost?

Prices have softened 2.19% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,495 listings available, which gives you a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 Toyota 4Runner a good car?

Yes — it earns a 4.8/5 user rating and a 7.00/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Form and function and Technology.

Owners consistently praise its reliability, comfort, ruggedness, and spacious interior. The review summary also points to strong off-road performance and a durable feel, which fits the 4Runner’s adventure-first mission.

The trade-offs are clear: you give up fuel economy, and some buyers feel it is overpriced for the limited features it offers. That makes it a better fit if you want a tough, family-capable SUV that still feels useful in everyday driving.

With 35.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Toyota 4Runner reliable?

Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback emphasizes reliability, and the expert evaluation also describes the V6 as reliable. That combination suggests the 4Runner is built for buyers who want something they can count on over time, even if it is not the most refined SUV in daily use.

Toyota backs it with a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, which adds some reassurance for used buyers. Even so, you should still pay close attention to maintenance history and overall condition, since long-term ownership risk is best managed by buying a well-kept example.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Toyota 4Runner?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 76.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate, even if the listing looks clean. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the SUV has seen trail use or heavy family duty. Focus on wear, maintenance records, and signs that the vehicle has been used hard rather than just driven a lot.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SR5 is the most basic starting point, while the Trail Special Edition adds adventure-focused gear like a cargo basket and sliding rear cargo deck. The TRD Sport leans more road-oriented, and the TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro add more capability-focused equipment. The Limited is the most comfort-leaning trim, but the base SR5 still leaves you without some of the nicer convenience and comfort features found higher up.
• Powertrain: Every trim uses a 4.0-liter V6 with 270 horsepower and a five-speed automatic. It is described as reliable and decent off the line, but it can feel underwhelming in most other driving situations.
• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense P is standard and includes forward automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, and lane-departure warning. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, parking sensors, and a surround-view camera are not standard.
• Infotainment: You get an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa. Wireless smartphone integration and a larger screen are not part of the setup, but the system does include hard buttons and dials for easier use.
• Fuel efficiency: The 4Runner returns 16 mpg city, 19 highway, and 17 combined.

Which 2022 Toyota 4Runner trim should I buy?

The 2022 Toyota 4Runner is offered in 6 trim levels: SR5, Trail Special Edition, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, and Limited.

Here's the short version:

• SR5: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core 4Runner experience with standard tech and safety features. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost path into the model, but you should expect a fairly basic setup.
• Trail Special Edition: This is the most distinctive choice if you want extra utility and a more adventure-ready vibe. The cargo basket, sliding rear cargo deck, and cooler make it stand out, so it is a good fit if you value outdoor-friendly gear.
• TRD Sport: This trim adds more road-oriented touches, including X-REAS performance suspension and larger wheels. It is best if you want a slightly more dressed-up 4Runner without moving into the more off-road-focused trims.
• TRD Off-Road: This is the best-value trim for buyers who want the 4Runner’s rugged side to shine. The locking rear differential, skid plates, crawl control, active traction control, and terrain management system make it the most capability-focused mainstream choice.
• TRD Pro: This is the most fully equipped off-road trim, with enhanced shock absorbers, a JBL premium stereo, surround-view camera, off-road camera, dual-zone climate control, and a moonroof. Choose it if you want the most equipment and are willing to pay for it.
• Limited: This is the comfort-leaning trim, with leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, parking sensors, and X-REAS sport suspension. It suits you best if you want a more upscale daily driver than a trail-first build.

Toyota Safety Sense P is standard, but blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, parking sensors, and the surround-view camera remain extra equipment on lower trims.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Toyota 4Runner?

This is a moderate market, so you can shop selectively without expecting a deep buyer’s market.

• Deal availability: 35.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,495 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.19% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 76.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $38,197, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Toyota 4Runner's resale value?

The current average of $38,856 sits slightly below last year's $39,726.

That tells you the market has softened a bit, which can help you as a buyer today but may temper what you can expect on a future trade-in. Even so, the 4Runner’s reputation for durability and owner satisfaction should help support demand over time.

If you keep the vehicle in strong condition and maintain it well, you should be in a better position when it is time to sell. Buyers tend to respond well to SUVs with a loyal following and a reputation for long-term satisfaction.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Toyota 4Runner safe?

The 2022 Toyota 4Runner earns four-star ratings in frontal and side-impact testing, and three-star ratings in rollover testing from NHTSA.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Toyota Safety Sense P is standard, and it includes forward automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, and lane-departure warning. You still need to move up or pay extra for blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, parking sensors, and a surround-view camera system.

The main caveat is the rollover result, which is weaker than the frontal and side-impact scores. That is worth keeping in mind if safety is a top priority and you are comparing it with more modern rivals.

Should I buy a 2022 Toyota 4Runner or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 35.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 76.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.19% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It balances rugged capability with modern tech and standard advanced safety features.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $36,267, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $38,856 average.
• It emphasizes rugged utility and strong reliability with go-anywhere capability.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $43,140, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $38,856 average.
• It adds standard blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and a special-edition option.

The bottom line: The 2022 is a solid middle ground if you want the 4Runner’s core strengths without paying more for the newer model year. If price is your main concern, the 2021 is the value play; if you want the added convenience and updates, the 2023 is the better upgrade path.
