Engine and drivetrain
The standard engine is a twin-scroll turbo four with both direct and port injection. It replaces the long-running 4.0L V6 from the previous generation.
Toyota also offers an i-FORCE MAX hybrid version on some 4Runner trims, with more power than the base engine. Check whether the vehicle you are looking at has the standard engine or the hybrid, because tow ratings and fuel use differ. For the hybrid trail trim, see our Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter specs.
Off-road hardware
- Part-time 4WD with high and low range.
- Electronically controlled locking rear differential.
- A-TRAC traction control.
- Multi-Terrain Select drive modes on off-road trims.
“Premium” adds comfort and convenience equipment on top of the TRD Off-Road package. Equipment lists change by market, so compare with our Toyota 4Runner off-road specs guide and ask a dealer for the exact features.

The listing includes an integrated receiver hitch with 4- and 7-pin wiring and trailer sway control. A Tow Tech package adds a trailer brake controller and backup guide. Max towing figures vary by source (5,000 lb on some listings, 6,000 lb for 2026), so check the label on your vehicle and compare other SUVs in our SUV towing capacity chart.
Fuel economy
US listings show 19 mpg city and 25 highway (21 combined) for the 2.4L 4WD. Canadian figures are published in L/100 km on the Natural Resources Canada guide, so check the rating for your trim.
