How the Toyota 4Runner compares with the Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Grand Cherokee for drivers in Victorville and across the High Desert.
The Toyota 4Runner is a body-on-frame midsize SUV built for the trail and the daily drive. It is offered with a turbocharged four-cylinder or the i-FORCE MAX hybrid, and it is part of the sixth generation.
The 4Runner comes in SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Sport Premium, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, Limited, Platinum, TRD Pro and Trailhunter grades. For 2027, Toyota has announced a new Hot Honey color for the 4Runner TRD Pro. Toyota has not yet published a full set of 2027 specifications, so the engine, towing, fuel economy and cargo figures on this page are Toyota's published 2026 numbers, which we will update when 2027 details are released.

Horsepower, torque, towing and fuel economy are Toyota's published 2026 4Runner figures, shown until 2027 specifications are released. Towing varies by grade and drivetrain, and actual results depend on how the vehicle is equipped and loaded.
