- [Instructor] The best stories begin
where the trail map ends,
and 4Runner has been delivering on this promise
for over 35 years.
With a proven body-on-frame construction,
advanced off-road features,
and a tough powertrain,
4Runner can go where lesser SUVs can't.
It's why Kelley Blue Book has honored 4Runner
as a top 10 vehicle for resale value
for the last eight years in a row.
Plus, there are now nine 4Runner grades in the lineup,
so there's a great option for adventurers
and off-road purists alike.
In addition to three special edition grades,
familiar grades like SR5, SR5 Premium,
and Limited round out the core 4Runner lineup,
while the TRD badge is well-represented
across three distinct grades
designed to tackle tough terrain.
These TRD models come standard with Toyota's part-time
four-wheel drive system -
- as does the Venture Special Edition,
while SR5 and SR5 Premium offer it as an available choice.
Additionally, Limited and Nightshade Special Edition
can be outfitted with a unique full-time
four-wheel drive system
instead of the part-time design of the other grades.
And this year, 4Runner welcomes the all-new
Trail Special Edition,
which is offered in 4x2
and 4x4 configurations.

4Runner's heritage has always been one of toughness,
something that's evident in its body-on-frame construction
offering optimized strength and durability.
All 4Runners have beefy skid plates
to help protect the engine,
front suspension and fuel tank,
while 4WD models
also get a skid plate to help protect the transfer case.
With up to 9.6 inches of ground clearance
and an available Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System,
4Runner is ready to make molehills out of mountains,
with extra wheel articulation to handle extreme terrain.
Plus, 4Runner is designed
with an available electronic locking rear differential
that helps it navigate unpredictable trails.
Next, the standard Hill Start Assist Control
helps keep 4Runner stationary
when letting off the brakes on a steep incline,
and the available Downhill Assist Control
helps drivers navigate descents at more controlled speeds.
There's also an available Crawl Control system,
which automatically modulates the throttle and brakes
so drivers can focus on steering,
as well as an available Multi-terrain Select system
that allows drivers to choose a preset
that maximizes traction in snow, sand, and other terrain.
And every 4Runner also features an integrated
towing hitch receiver and a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds.
But whether you're crawling up a sand dune
with TRD Off-Road or driving backroads with SR5,
this 4Runner is ready to take the road less traveled.

4Runner may be built to take on rugged terrain,
but its interior is designed for comfort
and cutting-edge technology that helps along the way.
Its 8-inch Audio Multimedia touchscreen
means music playlists and navigation look stunning,
with standard compatibility for Apple CarPlay,
which connects drivers to Apple Music, Maps, Messages,
and other favorite apps from your iPhone.
In addition, Android Auto compatibility
makes it easy to stay connected to Android devices,
while Amazon Alexa connectivity
keeps Amazon's digital assistant just a question away.
Plus, there's a three-month SiriusXM All Access
trial subscription to more than 300 radio channels,
accessible throughout the country.
And when paired with an available 15-speaker
JBL sound system, 4Runner is always ready
to soundtrack the next big adventure.
Now there's even more to love about 4Runner.
The audio multimedia system is designed to work
seamlessly with Toyota's line of Connected Services,
which include trials for Safety Connect and Wi-Fi Connect,
the latter of which turns 4Runner
into a mobile hotspot for up to five devices,
as well as available Remote Connect and Service Connect
to help ensure 4Runner stays connected
to both driver and dealer.

Exploring the vast unknown
requires a great amount of space for company or cargo.
4Runner's roomy interior provides up to seven occupants
with plenty of features,
like front and rear power outlets
for charging personal devices,
a variety of storage options
and available power-adjustable driver
and front passenger seats,
as well as available heated and ventilated
front seats to keep those in the front row comfortable
- no matter how long the journey.
Folding down the 40/20/40 fold-flat second-row seats
opens up a vast cargo area for even greater adventures,
and with the available 50/50 fold-flat third-row seats
on select grades, there's more than enough room
for the entire crew.
Plus, with 4Runner's signature power rear window
standard on all models,
it's easy to grab gear at a moment's notice.
Meanwhile, if you need a sturdy surface
when camping or tailgating,
every 4Runner can be equipped
with a pull-out cargo deck that supports up to 440 pounds.

Any true adventurer knows how vital it is
to invest in equipment that is designed
to help keep everyone safe on treacherous journeys.
That's why 4Runner is equipped with an array
of active and passive safety features.
It all starts with Toyota Safety Sense P,
a robust suite of active safety systems
that comes standard across the entire lineup
and includes Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection,
Lane Departure Alert,
Automatic High Beams,
and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
that's designed to maintain a comfortable distance
from the vehicle in front of you.
Plus, every 4Runner is equipped
with the Star Safety System,
a six-feature suite that's designed
to help keep you out of harm's way,
as well as an integrated backup camera,
and a comprehensive occupant protection system
with eight standard airbags,
should trouble prove unavoidable.
Additionally, all 4Runner grades
now come standard with bright LED headlamps
and LED fog lights,
while Limited, Nightshade Special Edition,
and TRD Pro also have standard LED high beams
that can help light the way home
no matter how challenging the conditions.
These in the moment safety features
all help to heighten awareness
and decision-making on the road.
How can an off-road legend get even more capable?
Simple: give it to the engineers
at Toyota Racing Development, or TRD for short.
And the result is the TRD Pro grade,
a pinnacle for off-road vehicles
with features like the newly designed 17-inch
flow-form alloy wheels,
as well as aggressive all-terrain tires
and a beefy suspension.
With a heritage-inspired grille
and a thick aluminum skid plate
to protect the underbody,
this rugged body-on-frame SUV fears no trail.
And this year, Lunar Rock replaces Army Green
as the grade's exclusive exterior color.
But TRD Pro isn't 4Runner's only special model.
The Nightshade Special Edition shows off
this SUV's darker side
with 20-inch black alloy wheels,
black chrome bumper accents
and a black leather-trimmed interior.
And the Venture Special Edition adds
extra style and utility to the off-road lineup,
with a roof-mounted cargo basket,
a black rear spoiler and all-weather floor liners.
Last but not least, the new Trail Special Edition
is crafted for outdoor enthusiasts,
with its dark gray 17-inch wheels,
Yakima LoadWarrior cargo basket,
and sliding rear cargo tray.
And on the inside, Trail Special Edition
adds a 40-qt premium cooler to keep drinks chilled,
with tie-down straps and special brackets
to safely secure it to the rear cargo tray while driving.
For over 35 years, this tough-as-nails SUV
has been a leader in the off-road vehicle segment.
Now factor in Toyota's world-class reputation for quality,
durability and reliability,
its famously strong long-term cost estimates,
and the ToyotaCare Maintenance plan for 2 years
or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first,
and Roadside Assistance for 2 years, unlimited mileage,
and it's obvious why 4Runner remains the one to beat.
Anytime, anywhere.
