Under the Hood of the Toyota 4Runner

The available i-FORCE MAX 2.4L turbocharged hybrid EV powertrain pushes performance even further. It reaches up to 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. The 4Runner promises fast acceleration and strong towing of up to 6,000 pounds, coupled with an 8-speed automatic transmission that delivers smooth performance from hauling gear for an outdoor escape to highway cruising.
Comfort and Technology at Your Fingertips
Inside, the Toyota 4Runner offers seating for up to seven passengers and a thoughtfully designed cabin.
