The 2018 Toyota 4Runner has a few different options packages, but otherwise carries over from last year unchanged.Because the value of the 4Runner lies predominantly in its off-road capabilities, we recommend the TRD Off-Road Premium. This trim gives access to important hardware including the locking rear differential and KDSS, the latter of which improves all areas of the 4Runner's skill set.
PROS Serious off-road capability few other competitors can match Variety of configurations to suit many buyers and price points Versatile cargo area, especially with optional slide out
CONS Tall step-in height makes for ungraceful entry and exit Lacks many of the latest driver safety aids Standard V6 is not particularly fuel-efficient Choppy ride quality compared to more modern crossovers
