2024 Toyota 4Runner: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2024 Toyota 4Runner is the departure of the 40th Anniversary Special Edition. Otherwise, this is a light trim-update year with the same V6, five-speed automatic, safety equipment, and truck-based structure as 2023.
About the 2024 Toyota 4Runner
5th generation (2010-2024), final model year before the 2025 full redesign.
Toyota positions the 4Runner as a rugged, body-on-frame SUV that is equally comfortable on pavement or on the trail. Its core appeal is durability, genuine off-road hardware, strong towing ability, and simple, proven mechanicals rather than car-like handling or fuel economy. Compared with midsize crossover rivals, the 4Runner stands out for its truck-based construction, roll-down rear window, and trim range that stretches from practical family use to serious factory-built trail capability.
The 2024 lineup ranges from the straightforward SR5 to the comfort-focused Limited and trail-ready TRD models. Limited has leather-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats, while TRD Off-Road adds low-speed trail controls and a locking rear differential. TRD Pro goes further with FOX shocks, added underbody protection, and a trail-view camera system.

Frequently asked questions
Was the 2024 Toyota 4Runner redesigned?
No. The 2024 4Runner is the final model year of the fifth generation, and its basic design carries over. The full redesign arrived for 2025.
What changed on the 2024 Toyota 4Runner compared with 2023?
The changes are limited to the trim lineup and TRD Pro equipment. The 40th Anniversary Special Edition was dropped, TRD Sport continued as TRD, and alloy wheels became standard on TRD Pro; the major mechanical, safety, and technology features carried over.
Does the 2024 Toyota 4Runner have the same engine as the 2023 model?
Yes. The 2024 4Runner keeps the 4.0-liter V6 and five-speed automatic transmission used in 2023.
Did the 2024 Toyota 4Runner receive new safety features?
No. The 2024 lineup carries over Toyota's driver-assistance safety suite, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert from 2023.
Is the 2024 Toyota 4Runner meaningfully different from the 2023 model?
No, not in its core driving experience or technology. The main differences involve trim naming, the discontinued anniversary edition, and standard alloy wheels on TRD Pro, so condition, mileage, and trim equipment matter more than model-year changes when comparing the two.
