Make sure you wish the 2023 Toyota 4Runner a happy birthday, as the off-roading icon has been in our hearts and on the market for four decades this year. For the party, Toyota has dressed it up with all the most desirable features that still allow it to stay true to (and embrace) its origins. With the roomy cabin of an SUV and a truck-frame construction, the 4Runner promises to get you there safely, on time, and in style.
Power and Drive
The 4Runner’s four-liter V-6 engine with 270 horsepower is responsible for its balanced on-road and off-road capabilities. The body-on-frame construction that’s usually typical of trucks delivers extra agility off-road but often sacrifices smooth handling on the road. To combat this, Toyota cleverly paired this construction with a softer suspension that can absorb the impact of bumps on uneven terrain. This gives the 4Runner a truly best-of-both-worlds feel to it.
New and Unique 4Runner Features
The increased ground clearance of the 4Runner boasts its off-road readiness as well. A decent off-roader becomes an excellent one with four-wheel drive, and that’s why the 4Runner is available with either a part-time four-wheel drivetrain or a full-time one.
Special Edition
For the 4Runner’s 40th birthday, Toyota is celebrating by releasing the special edition, of which there are only 4,040 manufactured models. This edition comes with a striking paint job we are very excited about. The body features a tri-colored badge stripe along the sides and on the front face.
The wheels are a specialized bronze that matches the stitching of the leatherette interior. You’ll find artistic 40th-anniversary logos on the headrests and floor mats. We feel privileged to have this unique model available at our dealership!
Safety
Toyota equipped the 4Runner with terrain-management systems to further improve its off-road reliability. Integrated software like Electronic Stability Control and A-TRAC Driveline Traction Control will be sure to increase your confidence on rocky terrain or in inclement weather. Your Blind Spot Monitor, Lane Alert, and Collision Mitigation systems will keep you aware of your surroundings and assist you in making smart, sound decisions.
Toyota Safety Sense
This suite of safety features is the result of Toyota’s careful examination of the most common types of accidents: lane drifting, frontal collisions, and nighttime accidents. With this in mind, Toyota opted to implement the Lane Departure Alert that prevents you from drifting. They also included the Pre-Collision System that can foresee possible accidents ahead of you and prevent them.
