2026 Toyota 4Runner

The 2026 Toyota 4Runner is a legend reborn, trading its aging bones for a high-strength, boxed-steel TNGA-F chassis that’s built to take a beating and ask for more. As your off-road authority at Smart Toyota—located right here in Davenport—we know that Quad Cities drivers from Bettendorf and Eldridge to Moline and Rock Island don't just want an SUV; they want a mountain-climbing, mud-slinging tank. The sixth-generation 4Runner delivers with a brutal 326-horsepower i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain and a maximum towing capacity of 6,000 lbs. Whether you’re hauling a boat to the Mississippi or crawling through the winter slush in East Moline, this is the body-on-frame warrior that refuses to back down.

Interior

Step inside the 2026 4Runner and you’ll find a command center that’s as rugged as the trail outside. The cabin is anchored by an available 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster that puts your pitch, roll, and drivetrain stats front and center. Because we know Iowa winters are relentless, the available heated and ventilated SofTex®-trimmed seats and heated steering wheel are absolute essentials. The iconic power rear window—a 4Runner staple—returns, allowing you to vent the cabin or grab gear from the 90.2 cubic feet of cargo space without opening the hatch. From the available 12-speaker JBL® Premium Audio system with a removable JBL® FLEX portable speaker to the tumble-fold rear seats, this interior is a high-tech bunker designed for the modern explorer.

Exterior

The 2026 4Runner commands the road with a boxier, more predatory silhouette that honors its 40-year bloodline. The wide-track stance is emphasized by aggressive overfenders and a "Hammerhead" front fascia that looks ready to devour the trail. For the ultimate off-road flex, the Trailhunter trim comes factory-equipped with 33-inch Toyo® Open Country all-terrain tires, a high-mount air intake (snorkel), and a frame-mounted ARB® roof rack. If you prefer street-bred muscle, the TRD Sport sits on 20-inch gloss-black wheels and features a functional hood scoop. Every line is functional, from the high-clearance bumpers to the underbody skid plates that protect your investment from the rough terrain of the Midwest.

Performance

Under the hood, the 2026 4Runner ditches the old V6 for two high-torque powerplants. The standard 2.4-liter i-FORCE turbocharged engine unleashes 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, while the range-topping i-FORCE MAX hybrid explodes with a staggering 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. This instant electric muscle is funneled through an 8-speed automatic transmission and a part-time or full-time 4WD system with an electronic locking rear differential. New for 2026, the available Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism (SDM) allows for extreme wheel articulation at the push of a button, while the Multi-Terrain Select system with Crawl Control ensures you have total authority over mud, sand, or deep Iowa snow.

Safety Features

A true warrior always watches its six. Every 2026 4Runner comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0, a digital fortress of protection built for the unpredictable nature of the road. This next-gen suite includes a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Proactive Driving Assist to help you navigate heavy traffic in downtown Davenport. The available 3D Multi-Terrain Monitor acts as an extra set of eyes, giving you a virtual view of the ground beneath your tires to help you dodge hidden obstacles. With Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) keeping watch, you have the high-tech armor needed to protect your crew on any expedition.
