Whether you’re driving around town or across the country, you can rely on the Toyota 4Runner to overcome any obstacles that stand in the way of a fantastic weekend.
The iconic Toyota 4Runner receives a number of improvements for the 2022 model year, building on its legacy as one of the most desirable off-road-focused SUVs on the market. This year sees the introduction of a new TRD Sport variant, which improves on-road performance with adaptive suspension inherited from Limited models, 20-inch wheels, and exterior style elements drawn from other members of the 4Runner TRD family. Speaking of TRD, the vivid Electric Lime Metallic is this year’s exclusive TRD Pro exterior color. Other changes to the 4Runner model lineup include standard LED illumination and rear-occupancy alert. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic warning are now standard on SR5 Premium and higher model levels.
