2023 Toyota 4Runner Engine

Every vehicle in the 2023 4Runner lineup comes standard with a 4.0 Litre V6 turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It's capable of generating 270 horsepower and provides an estimated 16 mpg and 19 mpg of city and highway fuel efficiency, respectively.

2023 Toyota 4Runner Specs

With eight trims to choose from - the SR5, SR5 Premium, Special Edition, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, Limited, and TRD Pro - there's a 4Runner for everyone this year.

SR5

The 2023 4Runner SR5 is perfect for those looking for the value Toyota is known for at an accessible price. This base-level trim sets the standard for all that follow, offering a strong 270-horsepower 4.0-liter V-6 engine and five-speed automatic transmission. The powertrain is rear-wheel drive by default, although it can be upgraded to all-wheel drive at an added cost.

All of this power is secured with a suite of Toyota's advanced safety features, including its Safety Sense P system, forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic high beams, and adaptive cruise control. To make things even better, the SR5 comes with built-in Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a keyless entry system for added convenience.

Whoever said 'it's what's on the inside that counts' clearly never saw the 4Runner. This vehicle is the definition of classy performance, embodying a tactical yet sharp look that stands out among other SUVs. Body cladding and all-terrain tires further bolster its iconic rugged character, while its large, wide-set wheels create a dominating presence on the road. And as a body-on-frame midsize, there's plenty of space to accommodate passengers and items of all kinds in the 2023 SR5.

Standout Features:

• LED Headlights: Whether you're driving through a rough storm or the blackness of a remote road at night, rest assured that the SR5's powerful LED headlights will get you to your destination safely.

• Rugged Build: This vehicle is built for roads of all kinds - paved and unpaved alike. With its rugged construction and off-roading capabilities, the SR5 will get you places most cars can't.

SR5 Premium

As its name implies, the 2023 SR5 Premium is an upgraded version of its aforementioned counterpart. While sharing the same base 4.0-liter V-6 engine and performance metrics, this trim adds many more bells and whistles to the mix. It's slightly more expensive but worth considering if you're someone who appreciates the finer details within a vehicle.

The first and most exciting difference between the SR5 and SR5 Premium comes in the interior. In contrast to the base model's cloth, the Premium features simulated leather upholstery and heated front seats. An eight-inch touchscreen comes standard, as does an integrated navigation system. Passengers will appreciate the 120-volt power outlet in the rear cargo area, which can be used to charge anything from phones and tablets to entertainment systems. It's also extremely useful if your final destination is somewhere without reliable access to electricity.

And of course, the SR5 Premium wouldn't be complete without some great off-roading capabilities. Drivers love this trim's large 17-inch wheels and underbody skid plates. Add an optional sunroof to the mix, and you've got an SUV perfect for camping, mountain-traversing, stargazing, and more.

Standout Features:

• Power-Adjustable Front Passenger Seat: Drivers and front passengers can sit their way with a power seat adjustment feature that moves the seats up, down, and back with ease.

• Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirror: Say goodbye to glare from headlights at night with the 4Runner's auto-dimming rearview mirror. It dims automatically when bright lights are detected, making nighttime driving safer and more comfortable.

Special Edition

In celebrating 40 years of the 4Runner, Toyota has added a new trim level to its lineup for 2023: The Special Addition. It pays homage to the series' past, featuring a retro-inspired look different from anything else on the road today.

First and foremost, you'll notice a sharp, electric accent across both sides of the exterior. This three-tone red, orange, and yellow mix is like something right out of the eighties, yet the 4Runner manages to pull it off with great style. The vehicle's front also gets a facelift with a cohesive grill frame and full 'TOYOTA' brand logo. Lights are more boxed in than other models, and the bottom front of the vehicle is much more robust. The 2023 Special Edition boasts several bronze accents, which extend to everything from its 17-inch alloy wheels and tailgate badge to interior finishing. There's a limited edition 40th anniversary badge to be found on the inside mats and seats as well.

This trim's aesthetics alone are enough to make any brand enthusiast swoon.

While the Special Edition may be inspired by automobiles past, it is very much a forward-thinking SUV. It maintains the same power and performance of other 4Runners, including its V6 engine and five-speed shiftable automatic transmission. Enjoy a loaded offering of twenty-first century tech features, including an eight-inch touchscreen with integrated navigation system and Apple CarPlay compatibility.

Standout Features:

• Retro-Inspired Look: Touting a sharp tri-color exterior strip and boxy front frame, the 2023 Special Edition takes the best of Toyota's past and puts it in a modern package.

• Sunroof: Find a good spot, park, sit back, and relax. This trim comes with a standard sunroof perfect for soaking up some rays and taking in the view.

TRD Sport

Next up in the 2023 lineup comes the TRD Sport. It can be best described as a dynamic blend of preceding trims, introducing some adapted looks and functionalities to the party. This is noticeable from the outset with its signature black grille frame and sleek brand badge. The lower bar has been altered slightly to house fog lights, while a color keyed hood scoop give the vehicle's front a more pronounced look.

This trim stands slightly taller than its counterparts with 20-inch accent wheels made out of durable alloy metal. The exterior design also comes with a powerful set of roof rails and bold black accents, making it perfect for those who want to stand out from the crowd. On the inside, the TRD Sport touts simulated leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a specially-branded trim and shift knob. Technology adds to the appeal with an infotainment system, Audio Plus system, and panoramic view monitor.

The other major difference to note with this trim is the X-REAS Sport Enhancement suspension system, which gives it much better handling compared to other 4Runners. The suspension has also been finely tuned to offer firmer on-road control.

Standout Features:

• Built-In Wi-Fi Hotspot: Offering as much as two gigabytes as standard, the TRD's built-in Wi-Fi hotspot is ideal for the modern traveler.

• X-REAS Suspension System: The TRD Sport comes with a special suspension system that introduces unparalleled on-road handling and control.

TRD Off-Road

The TRD Off-Road model is the perfect option for those who like to take their 4Runner off the beaten path. This trim comes with a host of features that make it ready for the wild, from its all-terrain tires to skid plates, active traction control, LED fog lamps, and part-time four-wheel drive.

The class IV towing receiver hitch is a welcome appendage that any off-road enthusiast will appreciate. It - along with a hefty 270 horsepower engine - enables this vehicle to seamlessly haul over 5,000 pounds, not to mention plenty of extra gear. Toyota clearly knew what it was doing when it made the 2023 TRD Off-Road, having equipped it with one of its most advanced suspension systems to date.

The Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) is designed to provide better lateral stability and traction control over harsher terrain. Coil springs, stabilizer bars, and a locking differential all come together to give this trim an unrivaled grip. As for aesthetics, it's hard to miss the TRD Off-Road's characteristic floor mat and C-pillar badging. Dark roof rails line the top of this vehicle, while a powerful TRD shift knob adds to its overall off-road aesthetic.

Standout Features:

• Locking Differential: The TRD Off-Road's locking differential allows it to take on the toughest trails with ease.

• Hydraulic Power Steering: Looking for a smooth driving experience? You've found it in the 2023 TRD Off-Road. Its hydraulic power steering is designed to offer more precise wheel control and feedback.

TRD Off-Road Premium

Like the SR5, the TRD Off-Road also has an upgraded counterpart. The 2023 TRD Off-Road Premium offers what its base version doesn't, especially in the way of equipment. Extra packages include the TRD Black Wheel Package, Convenience Package, Off-Road Premium Plus Package, TRD Bronze Wheel Package, Quick Charge Cable Package, Venture Package Bronze, Wilderness Package, and Emergency Assistance Kit.

This premium version also gets an upgraded tech arsenal; USB charging ports are a convenient addition for smartphone users, as is the powerful built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. Well-branded red TRD head restraints on the front seats add an extra touch of style and class. Long-distance travelers will also appreciate the TRD Off-Road Premium's impressive cargo space, which totals a massive 89.7 cubic feet. You could fit practically anything in here, from camping gear to extra baggage.

Standout Features:

• Standard Crawl Control: The TRD Off-Road Premium comes with a standard crawl control feature. This system is designed to help you traverse tricky terrain without having to make too many adjustments yourself.

• Heated Mirrors: Cold, frost, and fog are no match for this trim's heated side mirrors.

Limited

Despite what its name suggests, the 2023 4Runner Limited is in no way short of attractive qualities. In fact, it's the series' epitome of luxury, offering an expansive selection of both interior and exterior features you can't find anywhere else. The Limited is outfitted with a luxurious leather-trimmed interior, heated and cooled front seats, a power sliding moonroof, 20-inch eight-spoke alloy wheels with multi-terrain tires, and a dual-zone climate control system.

Other amenities include an in-dash touchscreen display with navigation, premium audio and acoustics, and mobile device charging. On the outside, chrome accents around the grille and side doors add a touch of class to this trim's otherwise adventurous demeanor.

Standout Features:

• Anti-Lock Brake System: The Limited features an advanced anti-lock brake system (ABS), designed to give you improved control and braking power.

• Backup Camera: Never ask back passengers to look out the back window again. The Limited comes with a rear backup camera, making it easy to spot anything behind you.

TRD Pro

Finally, we have the 2023 4Runner TRD Pro - a rugged, off-road, eye-catching, and advanced top tier to this year's lineup. The Pro trim packs a punch with its potent V6 engine, tuned suspension, and range of impressive extras.

The exterior design is both aggressive and stylish with its black-out grille, LED fog lamps, and striking Pro badge. Black 17-inch wheels give this trim a unique look, while its all-terrain 31.5-inch tires are perfect for tackling roads of all kinds. The inside of the TRD Pro is just as impressive, with its red-stitched seats and TRD logoed headrest. It also includes climate control, a JBL premium audio system, and an infotainment display.

In terms of performance, this trim has plenty to offer. It comes with a range of top-notch off-road features such as multi-terrain select, multi-terrain monitor, crawl control, a lever 4WD selector, and more. TRD Fox shocks allow for better handling on all surfaces, while TRD-tuned coil and leaf springs provide a smoother ride altogether.

Standout Features:

• TRD Pro Shift Knob: The TRD Pro shift knob is designed to provide a smooth and precise shift every time.

• Basket Style Roof Rack: Bringing large items along for the ride? Chances are that this vehicle's large basket style roof rack can handle it.
