2026 Toyota 4Runner Overview at Tustin Toyota
The 2026 Toyota 4Runner enters its second year as a fully redesigned sixth-generation SUV, combining body-on-frame ruggedness with modern technology across nine distinct trim levels. Built on Toyota’s TNGA-F platform — shared with the Tacoma, Tundra, and Land Cruiser — the 4Runner delivers genuine off-road capability, a 6,000-pound towing capacity, and available hybrid efficiency in a midsize SUV package.
Powertrain Options
Two versions of Toyota’s turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine are available, both paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The standard i-FORCE engine produces 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, while the available i-FORCE MAX hybrid boosts output to 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque with improved fuel efficiency — achieving up to an estimated 23 MPG combined. Rear-wheel drive is standard on select trims, with part-time and full-time four-wheel-drive systems available across the lineup. All hybrid models come standard with 4WD.
