Trim Levels and Mechanical Specs

The 4Runner lineup has expanded to nine trims with this redesign: SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, TRD Sport Premium, TRD Off-Road Premium, Limited, Platinum, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter. The standard powertrain is Toyota’s i-FORCE turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder coupled with an 8-speed automatic transmission, which produces 278 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft. of torque. The available upgrade is the i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, which adds a 48-hp electric motor and 288-volt Ni-MH battery to the mechanical array. It’s offered for the TRD Off-Road and Limited, and standard on the TRD Pro, Trailhunter, and Platinum. The total output for this hybrid system is 326 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque, with up to 6,000 pounds of towing capacity.

Toyota offers three drivelines for the all-new 4Runner: rear-wheel drive (RWD), part-time four-wheel drive (4WD), and full-time 4WD. The SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Sport Premium, and Limited can be had with standard RWD or available part-time 4WD, while the TRD Off-Road and TRD Off-Road Premium get part-time 4WD. Full-time 4WD is exclusive to the Platinum trim.
