The Toyota 4Runner may be a formidable off-roader with legendary capability and longevity, but the fifth-generation model introduced way back in 2009 is far from modern or refined. That won’t change for 2024, as Toyota is not giving the 4Runner a makeover like it did the Sequoia, Tacoma, and Tundra.
The 4Runner rolls into 2024 with a few updates, including a new Terra exterior color. Toyota also added blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts and said all 4Runner models come standard with Toyota Safety Sense.
Despite its age, Toyota still offers a wide range of 4Runner configurations. Seven trims are available for 2024, including SR5, SR5 Premium, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, Limited, and TRD Pro. Some models come standard with rear-wheel drive, while the TRD models get four-wheel drive by default.
Toyota might not be updating the 4Runner, but the Land Cruiser – albeit a smaller Prado version – is returning for 2024. It will sport a four-cylinder engine and be quite a bit more expensive than the 4Runner to start, but it should fill Toyota’s need for a modern off-roader until a 4Runner update is ready.
When that does happen, we’ll likely see a move to a turbo-four for the SUV instead of the V6 that powers it now. Toyota will make some styling changes, but most rumors point to a modest shift in looks for the 4Runner.
