2017 Toyota 4Runner Adds Two Off-Road Trims

Aug 3, 2016

The Toyota 4Runner has always been known for its commanding presence both on-road and off-road as well! This year, the 2017 Toyota 4Runner will be adding two TRD (Toyota Racing Development) models to its lineup, furthering its reputation as a rugged off-road machine.

The TRD Off-Road and Off-Road Premium will reflect the four decades of off-road racing heritage with exterior features like black painted wheels, TRD Off-Road badge on shift knobs/floor mats, and the Off-Road Premium has TRD red lettering on the headrests for the driver and front passenger. Performance-wise, the 4Runner is more capable than ever, with the Multi-Terrain Select System that lets drivers select the mode that matches their terrain, Toyota’s Crawl Control that enhances driver vehicle control over obstacles, and the available Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System that utilizes extended wheel travel. All of these features make for greater stability, capability, and overall off-road experience.

“The 4Runner has a large and loyal following, with dependability being a key factor. Of all the 4Runners purchased in the last ten years, 90 percent are still on the road,” said John Myers, national manager, trucks and SUVs, Toyota Vehicle Marketing and Communications. “4Runner owners often take their SUVs off the beaten path, so these new TRD Off-Road grades will be a popular recognition of TRD’s history in the off-road arena.”
