Model Highlights
Explore the Toyota 4Runner at Ottawa Toyota
The 4Runner has been Toyota's dedicated body-on-frame SUV since 1984, and the sixth generation continues that mission into its second model year. It's built to prioritize genuine off-road capability and towing over car-like crossover comfort, while still keeping pace with modern technology expectations. Ottawa Toyota carries the 4Runner for LaSalle County drivers who want a true SUV rather than a tall crossover.
Nine Grades From SR5 to Trailhunter
The 2026 4Runner lineup spans nine distinct grades: SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Sport Premium, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, Limited, Platinum, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter. That range gives shoppers a genuine choice between everyday practicality and serious trail capability within one nameplate.
A Turbocharged i-FORCE MAX Hybrid Standard on Three Grades
The 2.4-liter turbocharged i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain comes standard on the TRD Pro, Trailhunter, and Platinum grades, and is available on TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, and Limited models. That flexibility lets buyers choose hybrid power without being forced into the most expensive trim.
A Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism on Trailhunter and TRD Pro
The Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism, standard on Trailhunter and TRD Pro models, is a standout innovation that lets the front sway bar disconnect for improved wheel articulation on uneven terrain. It's the kind of hardware that separates a genuinely capable off-roader from one that just looks rugged.
An Automatic Limited-Slip Differential on 2WD Models
Even 2WD 4Runner models come equipped with an automatic limited-slip differential, helping maintain traction when one wheel loses grip. It's a detail that reflects the 4Runner's off-road-first design philosophy regardless of which drivetrain a buyer chooses.
Shared Mechanicals With the Tacoma
Like every previous generation, the sixth-generation 4Runner's mechanicals are based on the Tacoma, letting the 4Runner focus purely on SUV-specific strengths like off-road capability and towing. That shared foundation also means a proven, well-tested platform underneath.
A New Heritage Blue Color and TRD Pro-Exclusive Wave Maker
The 2026 4Runner color palette includes Ice Cap, Cutting Edge, Underground, Black, Heritage Blue, Everest, and the TRD Pro-exclusive Wave Maker. It's a genuinely broad range of options across the nine-grade lineup.
Standard Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
All 2026 4Runner models come standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, Toyota's latest suite of active safety and driver-assistance technology. That consistency means every grade, from SR5 to Trailhunter, shares the same safety foundation.
