This is a Motormouth couple car review of the 40th anniversary edition of the Toyota 4Runner SUV. This 2023 Toyota 4Runner is still a body-on-frame icon. Celebrating 40 years with the Toyota 4Runner, what a legend!

For decades, the 4Runner has earned the reputation of being an off-road icon, this vehicle is popular, people who own one, love it and this SUV offers great resale value. Even though it has an older powertrain and interior, it’s very reliable and comfortable.

Toyota has brought out the 40th Anniversary model to celebrate and it looks really cool. This heritage inspired edition comes in a variety of colours, our test model in Barcelona red has tri-colour striped graphics, 17” bronze wheels, 40th Anniversary badging to the exterior and interior, bronze accents and a Toyota heritage front grille with Toyota spelled out across the front in bronze. It’s priced at $58,265 CAD/$47,120 USD.

The 4Runner has a 4L V6 with a 5-speed automatic transmission, 270 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque. Part-time 4WD and full-time 4WD are available. In the US, there is also a rear-wheel-drive option.

The 4Runner offers plenty of standard features with a starting price of $54,935 CAD/$39,555 USD. They include a 4.2” gauge cluster, an 8” touchscreen, wired Apple Carplay and Android Auto, an 8-speaker audio system, power and heated front seats,
SofTex upholstery, a heated steering wheel, moonroof and Toyota Safety Sense.

In the US, you don’t get as many standard features, the base trim is missing the moonroof, heated steering wheel, heated front seats and power front seats.

There are many different packages to choose from including, TRD Offroad, TRD Sport, TRD Pro, Limited which is a 7-passenger 4Runner and the 40th anniversary special addition.
