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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 76.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2021 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite with forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, road-sign recognition, and high-beam assist.
• Infotainment: 7-inch digital instrument cluster and 8-inch touchscreen, with a 12.3-inch instrument cluster in all but the base trim and a 14-inch touchscreen in any Premium trim or higher.
• Fuel efficiency: The 4Runner comes with a choice of two powertrains and rear-wheel drive (RWD) or two four-wheel-drive (4WD) systems. The base engine, which Toyota calls i-Force, is a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder that generates 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. The i-Force Max hybrid system adds an electric motor to increase output to 326 hp and 465 lb-ft. The 4Runner hybrid is quick enough for any daily need, but doesn’t match what’s expected given the torque figure.

Which Toyota 4Runner trim should I buy?

The 2026 Toyota 4Runner offers...

• SR5: The entry trim starts the lineup with the 4Runner’s core body-on-frame character and the base powertrain, making it the starting point if you want the model’s rugged formula at the lowest price.
• TRD Sport: This trim adds a sportier setup within the lineup and is a step up if you want a more style-forward version of the 4Runner.
• TRD Sport Premium: This version builds on the TRD Sport with added premium equipment, making it a stronger pick if you want more comfort and convenience.
• TRD Off-Road: This is the best-value trim if you want serious trail hardware, including a locking rear differential, Bilstein remote-reservoir dampers, an extra inch of ground clearance, 18-inch wheels with 33-inch all-terrain tires, the Multi-Terrain System, and skid plates.
• TRD Off-Road Premium: This trim adds a Multi-Terrain Monitor that uses the surround-view camera to provide extra off-road views, making it a smart choice if you want more trail visibility.
• Limited: This trim adds a full-time 4WD system with a locking center differential and a more street-friendly setup.
• Platinum: This trim adds the hybrid powertrain as standard, along with full-time 4WD and a locking center differential.

• TRD Pro: This top off-road trim adds disconnecting sway bars, unique front bumpers, Fox adjustable remote-reservoir shocks, an aluminum front skid-plate, and underbody protection.

What Toyota 4Runner do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to draw the most attention because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right trim, mileage, and price combination. They also tend to be popular because they sit close enough to the newest redesign to feel current while still offering more used-car value than brand-new inventory.

What is the Toyota 4Runner's resale value?

Most model years in the table are moving lower year over year, which is good news if you're shopping used and want more room to negotiate. A few recent years are still moving in the opposite direction, which shows that demand remains strong for newer 4Runner inventory. Overall, the pattern favors buyers who are willing to compare across several model years.

The 2024, 2017, and 2020 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
