The 4Runner isn't the most polished SUV around, and its V6 is thirsty compared to the engines in a lot of similarly priced crossovers. Still, it's hard to find a vehicle that offers this much capability with this much utility and seating for up to seven people. The 4Runner isn't the SUV for everyone, but it might be perfect for some.

Pros

Impressive off-road capability
Wide variety of configurations to suit many buyers
Versatile cargo area, especially with the optional slide-out floor

Cons

Choppy ride quality compared with more modern crossover SUVs
V6 engine is not particularly fuel-efficient
Tall step-in height makes it awkward to get in and out

What's new

No changes for 2024
Part of the fifth 4Runner generation introduced for 2010

Overview

In the modern world of car-like crossovers, the Toyota 4Runner is proudly old-school in more ways than one. First off, Toyota hasn't given it a full redesign since the 2010 model year, which makes this midsize SUV pretty much geriatric by automotive standards. Plus, the 4Runner is a rugged truck-based SUV, while most other models have moved on to be more car-like crossovers. Still, plenty of 4Runner buyers seem quite fine with this. Versions like the TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro are ideally suited for off-road adventures, or at least looking the part.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.50 per gallon for regular unleaded in Ohio.}

Edmunds spotlight: Towing and off-road capability

Being truck-based provides some advantages. The 4Runner is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. That's a bit more than most of the more car-like crossovers can tow and is certainly enough to pull a small trailer without issue. The 4Runner also has a good amount of ground clearance and low-range gearing for its four-wheel-drive system to help it get along on rocky trails. But if fuel efficiency is your priority, Toyota has other SUVs for you.

Competitors to consider

The Toyota 4Runner's most direct competitors are the Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler. All three compromise on-road comfort and handling in favor of greater off-road capability. The Bronco and Wrangler are the most capable off the highway and even have removable roofs. But for around-town driving, the 4Runner is the most civilized. Jeep's Grand Cherokee is another option. Alternatively, crossovers such as the Honda Passport or Subaru Outback will work out just fine for occasional recreational use. Also know that a fully redesigned and modernized 4Runner is finally set to debut for 2025. Read our Expert Rating below to see how this year's 4Runner stacks up.

Edmunds Expert Rating

Our Verdict^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

Average

7.6

out of 10

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the 4Runner drive? The 4Runner's performance is adequate. It's not terribly fast, but the engine and transmission are smooth. It can hold its own in traffic. The brakes are a bit jumpy, and there's some nosedive when you really mash the brake pedal, but you'll get used to it. Around corners, the 4Runner turns in quickly and provides a pleasing amount of stability for a truck-based SUV. Even so, car-like crossover SUVs are more nimble.

The 4Runner becomes a superstar if you're the sort who would take it off-road for exploring or adventure camping. Its multimode 4WD system, high ground clearance and special TRD features make it capable of taking on rocky trails. If that's important to you, then the 4Runner's otherwise mediocre performance will be more or less insignificant.

Comfort

7.0/10

How comfortable is the 4Runner? You wouldn't be far off the mark if you sized up the 4Runner's comfort potential just by looking at it. You actually can judge this book by its cover. Its truck-based construction results in a somewhat bouncy and stiff ride. It's not terrible, but just about any other crossover SUV rides more smoothly.

The same goes for wind noise as the 4Runner's boxy shape stirs up more than the generally sleeker and more low-slung competition. Interestingly, road noise from the tires is relatively tame because the body-on-frame construction provides an extra layer of sound suppression between road and cabin.

Build & Price

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? Living with a 4Runner is a pretty pleasant experience, but it has one fairly obvious drawback: its tall ride height. That makes getting in and out somewhat difficult, though side steps are available to help out. It's really no worse than any full-size pickup in this regard, but other crossover SUVs are easier to access.

Once you're inside, you'll find easy-to-understand controls and a highly adjustable driving position that affords a commanding view ahead. There's plenty of space in both the front and back rows. Visibility to the sides and back is surprisingly good because of the 4Runner's squared-off shape and windows.

Technology

8.0/10

How’s the tech? The 4Runner's touchscreen audio system has clear graphics and numerous fixed shortcut buttons that make it easy to drill down into the menus without staring at the screen as much. It also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity. Standard driver aids include traffic-adaptive cruise control and forward collision mitigation.

Storage

8.0/10

How’s the storage? The 4Runner's squared-off cargo area is big. Fold the rear seats down and you can even roll out sleeping bags back there. You can access cargo by opening the hatch, of course, or by lowering the 4Runner's power rear window.

The roomy second row can accommodate car seats in any of the three positions, even bulkier rear-facing models. The square door openings make for easy access, but little kids will have a hard time climbing up into the cabin. Towing capacity is 5,000 pounds, a useful figure that covers most boats and many small camping trailers. The vehicle is also prewired for not only four-pin but also seven-pin trailer plugs that come on trailers with electric trailer brakes.

Fuel Economy

6.0/10

How’s the fuel economy? The aging 4.0-liter V6 engine and five-speed automatic make for a rather thirsty pairing that does no better than 17 mpg combined (16 city/19 highway). This is, on average, 4 mpg worse than rival crossover SUVs with all-wheel drive.

Value

7.0/10

Is the 4Runner a good value? The 4Runner costs more than some of the crossovers it competes with, but in return you get more in terms of off-highway and towing performance. It also has a strong resale value, so much of the extra you'll pay up front will come back when you move on to something else later on.

While you own it, you'll have two years of free scheduled maintenance for things such as oil changes and tire rotations. The warranty, should you ever need it, is fairly standard. The 4Runner's big downside occurs at the pump, which you will be visiting often because its EPA-estimated fuel economy is in the teens in both the city and on the highway.

Wildcard

8.0/10

On the road, it's fine. It gets you there. The fun comes in when you take it off-road. As every other SUV has descended into crossover pavement-and-snow mediocrity, the 4Runner still waves the flag for the body-on-frame SUV fans who want real off-road performance.

Which 4Runner does Edmunds recommend?

This will (probably not) be the last time we say it, but the 4Runner is at its best off-road. But the best 4Runner off-road costs a lot more than the second-best, and so we'd go with the TRD Off-Road, which is just a couple grand more expensive than a base four-wheel-drive 4Runner. In addition to special wheels and badging, it gets functional off-road gear like a locking rear differential, a crawl mode (like a low-speed off-road cruise control), and different drivetrain and stability control modes for different surfaces.

Toyota 4Runner models

The 2024 Toyota 4Runner is a midsize SUV available in seven trim levels: SR5, TRD Sport, SR5 Premium, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, Limited and TRD Pro.

2023 Toyota 4Runner 40th Anniversary Special Edition 4dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 6cyl 5A)

The Toyota 4Runner is the most solidly built SUV that you can buy today for the price. I keep seeing reports about it being old-school and antiquated but that’s what makes this vehicle so classic, well built, and reliable. It also has a lot of electronics and tech that people don’t give it credit for, for instance, dynamic radar cruise control, automatic emergency braking, including …

I own a 2023 4Runner and a 2018 Highlander The 4runner is very solid, and the suspension and body build quality is far better than any other SUV. If you ride it, you will admit it too. It is a bit difficult at high speed driving. However, it is at its best at low and medium speeds. Infotainment is very simple but very easy to use. If you want a truck, a regular SUV, and something unique, …
