Is the 4Runner Still Worth It in 2026?

The 5th Generation Toyota 4Runner is one of the longest-running, most proven SUVs on the road — and in this review, I break down exactly why. With a 4.0L V6 producing 270 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque, a 5-speed automatic transmission, true body-on-frame construction, and up to 9.6 inches of ground clearance, the 2020 4Runner continues to prioritize durability and off-road capability over trends. It’s not the fastest. It’s not the most fuel-efficient. But it might be one of the most reliable and capable midsize SUVs Toyota has ever built.
