2023 4RUNNER
Features
Off-Road Icon
For 40 years, 4Runner’s heritage has left its mark across the country, trekking through muddy terrain, rocky trails, water crossings and almost whatever the land has to offer. And to commemorate this milestone, we’re proud to introduce the 2023 4Runner 40th Anniversary Special Edition. Limited to only 4,040 units, this SUV features unique details inside and out that celebrate how far we’ve come and welcome what’s next.
Rugged Body-on-Frame Construction
With its legendary body-on-frame design, 4Runner 40th Anniversary Special Edition continues to provide the sturdy and reliable support you need when your adventures go beyond where the road ends.
17-In. Bronze-Colored Wheels
Handle almost any trail or stream that comes your way with 4Runner’s bold and stylish 17-in. bronze-colored wheels.
Unique Exterior Graphics
Stand out in the wild. Styled with exclusive racing-inspired tri-color striped graphics, 4Runner 40th Anniversary Special Edition’s nod to its heritage is sure to turn heads out on the open road or off-road trail.
Interior Badging
A ride that’s truly one of a kind. With a unique bronze-colored emblem placed on the dash that shows off 4Runner 40th Anniversary Special Edition’s exclusivity—being 1 of 4,040 has its perks.
Embossed Headrest
Experience 4Runner’s unique heritage design and bronze-colored contrast stitching with every touchpoint inside the SUV. Whether looking at the embroidered headrests or shifting into drive, you’ll be reminded that you’ve got something special.
Crawl Control
When the trail gets challenging, 4Runner’s available Crawl Control (CRAWL) is here to help you conquer your off-road adventure. This advanced system automatically modulates the throttle and brakes on five low-speed settings so you can keep your focus on navigating across difficult terrain.
Electronic Locking Rear Differential
To help you negotiate uncertain terrain, 4Runner’s available electronically controlled locking rear differential distributes engine power evenly to both rear wheels, so they move at the same speed, even if one is off the ground. It is designed to help you maintain a controlled pace over obstacles.
Multi-Terrain Monitor
Like an extra set of eyes to see what’s around you, 4Runner’s available Mutli-Terrain Monitor (MTM) helps you navigate nature’s obstacles with confidence. By using cameras placed around the SUV, you can get a better view of your surroundings on the 8-in. touchscreen display.
Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS)
The available Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) helps 4Runner make molehills out of mountains. When taking on extreme off-road terrain, this system is designed to automatically decouple 4Runner’s sway bars as needed, helping improve wheel articulation. And when the terrain goes back to smooth and flat, the sway bars are designed to automatically reconnect.
Multi-Terrain Select
When you’re in the thick of it, you can activate 4Runner’s available Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) system for optimized traction. Just choose from four terrain modes and this system helps regulate wheelspin by automatically adjusting the engine throttle and traction control.
