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

If you’ve been paying any attention at all, you saw that the 2024 Toyota Tacoma has been completely redesigned. We’re talking bumper to bumper, inside and out. Taco enthusiasts are thrilled, and the unveiling of this redesigned truck has sent the internet swirling into speculation about the new 2024 Toyota 4Runner.

The Toyota 4Runner is an absolute icon in the off-roading world – it’s durable, capable, rugged, and yet still a comfortable and connected truck that allows for comfortable real-world driving, too. It’s due for a redesign – there’s no denying that. The fifth and most recent generation has been rocking since 2009. It’s time, and we think Toyota knows it too. Our Orlando Toyota dealership is here with a 2024 Toyota 4Runner preview to share what we know so far.

Here’s our 2024 Toyota 4Runner preview

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

• We don’t have an actual release date. 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.
• Production could 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.
• 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 – a 2.4L hybrid system that produces 340 horsepower and 400 lb-ft torque.
• It’ll definitely have an updated design inside and out – we’re thinking a brand-new look that’s similar to the new 2024 Toyota Tacoma, as well as an interior that’s more ergonomic, has modern styling, and has new technology.
• 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.
