A 2024 Toyota 4Runner Preview: What we know so far

If you don’t live under a rock, then you should know that the 2024 Toyota Tacoma is getting a complete redesign. From the interior, the exterior, everything you can imagine – it’s getting a redesign. If you love tacos, and we’re not talking about the delicious Mexican cuisine – but the truck itself, you are probably excited about the rumor of the new 2024 Toyota 4Runner redesign. 

The off-roading world has loved its tried and true, Toyota 4Runner, it’s durable, capable, rugged, and still a comfortable and connected truck that allows for the best of both worlds: normal day-to-day driving and off-roading. The most recent generation, also known as the fifth generation, has been in the Orlando Toyota lineup since 2009. Meaning, it’s time that the beloved Toyota 4Runner needed some love on the redesigned lineup.

Here’s our 2024 Toyota 4Runner preview

Here’s what we know about the 2024 Toyota 4Runner so far:

• One thing is for sure, it will have an updated design inside and out. Imagine a brand-new look that is similar to the new 2024 Toyota Tacoma, as well as a more ergonomic interior, modern styling, and new technology.

• It may have a different engine. Right now, this Orlando Toyota has a 4.0L V6 engine. However, we’re consistently seeing Toyota downsize its engines (the Toyota Tundra and Toyota Sequoia went from V8s to V6s, for example). We could see the new iteration of this Orlando Toyota shifting to a new 4-cylinder with turbocharged capabilities – specifically, the turbocharged 2.4L inline-four that’s in the new Lexus NX 350. It gets 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft torque.

• We could also see it offering a new hybrid drivetrain. We think the Hybrid Max powertrain in the current Toyota Crown is a strong contender with a 2.4L hybrid system that produces 340 horsepower and 400 lb-ft torque.

• There’s no actual release date – yet. We were thinking 2024, but here’s the thing – ANOTHER part of the internet is vehement that Toyota is going to bring back the iconic Toyota Land Cruiser sometime next year. We know nothing about that but if it’s true, it could push the 2024 Toyota 4Runner preview back further.

• The MSRP will likely see a slight bump, but we’re willing to bet it’ll be worth it for all the upgraded tech + performance features.

• We don’t think an EV is in the works. We haven’t seen any full EV versions of the Tacoma, Tundra, or Sequoia, so we’re doubtful one will appear in the redesign of the 2024 Toyota 4Runner.

• We can see a production shift to North America. Typically, the 4Runner is produced in Japan. However, we see Toyota shifting production to North America more and more, so it’s not out of the question to think that they might shift the Toyota 4Runner production here, too.
