2026 Toyota 4Runner Trims and Pricing
The 2026 Toyota 4Runner carries its body-on-frame reputation into the second year of its sixth-generation redesign, pairing rugged capability with modern refinement. At Capistrano Valley Toyota, drivers across San Juan Capistrano and Orange County are weighing a nine-grade lineup that runs from the value-focused SR5 to the luxury-leaning Platinum and the trail-built Trailhunter. This guide breaks down every 2026 4Runner trim and its starting TSRP so you can find the right configuration before you visit.
Two Turbocharged Powertrains
Two engines anchor the 2026 lineup. The standard 2.4L i-FORCE turbocharged engine produces up to 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. The available i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain raises output to 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, and is standard on the Platinum, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter while available on the TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, and Limited. Every 2026 4Runner tows up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped and comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0.

Total Suggested Retail Price (TSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, processing, and handling fees, which are subject to change at any time. TSRP excludes taxes, title, license, dealer-installed options, accessories, fees and charges. TSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
Understanding the Entry-Level Value of the 2026 4Runner SR5
The SR5 is the foundation of the lineup, offering the 4Runner’s core utility at the most accessible starting TSRP of $41,570. It comes standard with the 2.4L i-FORCE turbo engine and rear-wheel drive, with part-time 4WD available. An available third row expands seating to up to seven passengers, which makes the SR5 a practical choice for growing families in Aliso Viejo and Ladera Ranch. Standard equipment includes an 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 7-inch digital gauge cluster, LED head and fog lights, and a power rear liftgate window. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard and includes a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Lane Tracing Assist.
Stepping Up Through the Mid-Range Trims
TRD Sport and TRD Off-Road
The TRD Sport ($48,050) focuses on on-road dynamics with sport-tuned suspension, 20-inch alloy wheels, a gloss-black hood scoop, and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. The TRD Off-Road ($49,990) shifts toward capability with Bilstein monotube shocks, Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control, and a locking rear differential.
The Premium Grades
The TRD Sport Premium ($53,410) and TRD Off-Road Premium ($56,070) layer in comfort and technology, including SofTex-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats, the available 14-inch touchscreen with JBL Premium Audio, and a hands-free power liftgate. The Limited ($56,200) brings leather-trimmed heated and ventilated seats, full-time 4WD availability, and a power moonroof.
Differentiating the SR5, TRD Off-Road, and TRD Pro
Choosing among the core trims comes down to how you use the 4WD system. The SR5 offers a capable baseline suited to daily driving and light trails. The TRD Off-Road adds Crawl Control, Multi-Terrain Select, and a locking rear differential for loose sand or mud, making it the balanced pick for drivers who want weekend capability without top-tier pricing.
At the summit sits the TRD Pro, with a starting TSRP of $67,900. Built for high-speed desert running and technical rock crawling, it features:
TRD Pro Hardware
- FOX 2.5-inch Internal Bypass QS3 shocks with rear remote reservoirs
- 18-inch matte-black alloy wheels with 33-inch Toyo all-terrain tires
- Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism (SDM) for increased suspension articulation
- i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain as standard equipment
Trailhunter Overlanding Gear
- Old Man Emu 2.5-inch forged shocks
- ARB roof rack
- Onboard air compressor
- Low-profile high-mount air intake
For overlanding rather than high-speed racing, the Trailhunter ($67,700) is the factory-built choice. Both top trims arrive with equipment that would cost thousands to add aftermarket.
What Sets the Platinum Apart
Positioned above the Limited, the Platinum ($63,660) pairs full 4Runner capability with a near-luxury cabin. It adds 20-inch gloss-black wheels, a dark chrome tri-bar grille, premium leather-trimmed seats, heated second-row outboard seats, a standard Head-Up Display, the standard tow technology package, and the i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain.
