What Toyota 4Runner do most buyers choose?

The Toyota 4Runner years with the most listings are 2024, 2022, and 2023.

These higher-volume model years tend to be popular because they give you a broad mix of availability, pricing, and deal opportunities. They also sit close enough to the newest redesign to feel current while still offering more used-market selection than the latest model year.

What is the Toyota 4Runner's resale value?

Most model years are moving lower year over year, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. A few newer years are still rising or holding closer to their prior pricing, so the market is not moving in one direction across the board. The biggest drops are concentrated in the newer and mid-cycle years, while some of the most recent examples are still commanding stronger prices.

The 2024, 2023, and 2020 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
