Which 2021 4Runner trim does Edmunds recommend?
You buy a 4Runner for its off-road capability, or at least you should. As such, we say go with the Venture Special Edition. It has the same features as the TRD Off-Road that help with off-road performance but stands out a little more with its gray-painted wheels and overlanding-style roof rack.
