2026 Toyota 4Runner TRD Sport: Airmont Buyers Guid
Quick Answer: The 2026 4Runner TRD Sport
TRD Sport starts the on-road-focused performance trims at $48,350 MSRP plus $1,450 destination, with a loaded TRD Sport Premium package version at $53,710. Both are rear-wheel drive standard with 4WD available, and both run the standard i-FORCE turbo four exclusively — no hybrid option on this trim family, the same restriction as SR5. What TRD Sport adds is a sport-tuned suspension, TRD-badged styling, and unique wheels; TRD Sport Premium layers on a larger touchscreen and upgraded interior trim. Interstate Toyota stocks both at 411 Route 59 in Airmont.
TRD styling for buyers who want the look without the crawl gear
It's easy to assume every TRD-badged 4Runner is built for rock crawling, but Sport is deliberately the on-road half of the TRD lineup. It gets the sport-tuned suspension and the visual language — TRD badging, distinct wheels, the aggressive front-end styling — without the locking rear differential or Multi-Terrain Select that show up on TRD Off-Road. For a Rockland County buyer who wants a 4Runner that looks and handles like the performance trim on Route 59 and the Palisades Parkway but rarely if ever leaves pavement, that's a deliberate and reasonable tradeoff, not a compromise.
Stepping up to TRD Sport Premium at $53,710 adds a larger touchscreen, upgraded interior trim, and additional convenience tech on top of the base TRD Sport's mechanical package — worth comparing directly against the base version before deciding, since the jump is almost entirely in cabin equipment rather than performance.
No hybrid here either — that's a TRD Off-Road decision
Same rule as SR5: TRD Sport and TRD Sport Premium are non-hybrid only. The i-FORCE MAX hybrid's 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft aren't available on this trim at any price — that option starts at TRD Off-Road. Buyers torn between TRD Sport's on-road tuning and the hybrid's extra power genuinely have to choose one or the other; the trims don't overlap.
A buyer who chose this exact trim
Interstate Toyota has at least one review naming this trim directly. Priscilla M. wrote about her March 2025 purchase: "I purchased a 2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Sport Premium from Joe Radi (also goes by JoJo) on Thursday March 13, 2025 and I had such a great experience... Joe informed me that the exact car I wanted was inbound and allowed me to leave a deposit on this car until it arrived at the dealership. In the interim, Joe was in communication with me, answering my questions and was very kind... Juan Carlos, the finance manager went over the paperwork and was not a pushy salesman. My overall experience at Interstate Toyota exceeded my expectations."
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between TRD Sport and TRD Sport Premium?
Both share the same sport-tuned suspension and TRD styling; Premium adds a larger touchscreen, upgraded interior trim, and additional convenience tech for roughly $5,360 more.
Can I get TRD Sport with the hybrid engine?
No — TRD Sport and TRD Sport Premium are non-hybrid only, same as SR5. The i-FORCE MAX becomes available starting at TRD Off-Road.
Is TRD Sport meant for off-roading?
Not primarily. It carries the TRD name and sport suspension tuning, but the off-road-specific hardware — locking rear diff, Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control — is on TRD Off-Road and above. TRD Sport is the on-pavement performance-styled trim.
Is TRD Sport worth it over a Limited?
It depends on priorities. TRD Sport tops out around $53,710 for the Premium version with sport styling and handling; Limited runs from $56,500 and leans toward leather, JBL audio, and comfort features instead of sport tuning. Test-driving both back to back is the fastest way to feel the difference.
Does TRD Sport come with 4WD standard?
No — like SR5 and Limited, RWD is standard on TRD Sport and TRD Sport Premium, with 4WD available as an option.

Suspension tuning is one of those things that's obvious in five minutes behind the wheel and hard to feel from a spec sheet. Browse current TRD Sport inventory at Interstate Toyota, 411 Route 59 in Airmont.
