2024 Toyota 4Runner Review: Trim Level Comparisons

The 2024 Toyota 4Runner remains a strong contender for those who value off-road capability and rugged design over the more car-like feel of modern crossovers. With a range of seven distinct trims, each 4Runner variant offers a unique blend of features, catering to different needs and preferences. Here’s a detailed look at each trim level to help you decide which is right.

Exterior Differences

The exterior design of the 2024 Toyota 4Runner varies subtly across its trims, emphasizing different aspects of its rugged persona. The SR5 and SR5 Premium trims maintain a classic look with standard 17-inch wheels and black roof rails, presenting a straightforward aesthetic ideal for everyday adventures. Moving up to the TRD Sport, you'll notice sportier design elements, including color-keyed accents and 20-inch alloy wheels, enhancing its street appeal.

The TRD Off-Road and TRD Off-Road Premium trims step it up with distinctive badging, 17-inch alloy wheels, and off-road-specific features like a locking rear differential, highlighting their off-road prowess. The Limited trim adds a touch of luxury with chrome exterior accents and 20-inch wheels, catering to those who desire a more refined look. The range-topping TRD Pro stands out with its aggressive stance, all-terrain tires, and a unique grille, designed to tackle the toughest terrains while turning heads.

Interior Differences

Inside, the 2024 Toyota 4Runner offers varying levels of comfort and technology depending on the trim. The SR5 provides a straightforward, durable interior with fabric upholstery and an 8-inch touchscreen display featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The SR5 Premium builds on this with SofTex-trimmed seats and a power-adjustable driver’s seat for added comfort.

For those seeking a sportier feel, the TRD Sport includes unique interior accents and sport fabric-trimmed seats, while the TRD Off-Road and TRD Off-Road Premium trims offer more rugged interiors with TRD branding and available all-weather floor mats.

The Limited trim focuses on luxury, featuring leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and a premium audio system. Finally, the TRD Pro provides a balance of comfort and ruggedness with TRD-specific upholstery and advanced off-road technologies at your fingertips.

Performance and Capability

Every trim of the 2024 Toyota 4Runner is equipped with a 4.0-liter V6 engine delivering 270 horsepower, paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission. While the engine is robust, its design is somewhat dated, which affects fuel efficiency, estimated between 16-19 mpg depending on the drivetrain.

The TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, and TRD Pro trims are specially tuned for off-road adventures, featuring advanced systems like Multi-Terrain Select and Crawl Control. The TRD Pro goes further with Fox shocks and skid plates, providing unparalleled performance on rough terrains.
