2027 Toyota 4Runner Trim Levels: A Complete Breakdown
The 2027 Toyota 4Runner offers nine distinct trim levels, from the SR5 starting at $43,490 to the TRD Pro at $68,870, based on Toyota.com’s listed base MSRP. Each trim builds on the one below it with upgraded wheels, suspension, tech, or off-road hardware. We walk through every trim here so you can match your budget and driving needs to the right configuration.
By the end of this post, you’ll know the starting price and key features of all nine 2027 4Runner trims, understand what separates a TRD Off-Road from a TRD Off-Road Premium, and have a clear recommendation for which trim makes the most sense depending on how you actually plan to use the vehicle. We’ll also point you toward our new 4Runner inventory so you can see what’s available as you narrow things down.
Where the 4Runner Fits
The 4Runner has built its reputation on body-on-frame toughness in a market that has largely shifted to car-based crossovers. For 2027, it carries that same TNGA-F boxed-frame chassis into its sixth generation, which spans the 2025 through 2027 model years. That means the platform underneath every trim, from the SR5 to the TRD Pro, is the same proven architecture built for real off-pavement use.
Six trims come standard with the i-FORCE 2.4-liter turbo (278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque), while the Platinum, Trailhunter, and TRD Pro come standard with the i-FORCE MAX hybrid, which makes 326 net horsepower and 465 lb-ft. Buyers can choose 2WD, part-time 4WD, or full-time 4WD depending on trim, and every trim includes Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, with pre-collision warning and pedestrian detection, full-speed dynamic radar cruise control, and lane tracing assist.
Every 2027 4Runner Trim, Explained
Each trim is built around a specific type of driver, whether that’s a commuter who wants modern tech, a weekend trail runner who needs real off-road hardware, or a buyer who wants both. The ladder below climbs from the entry point to the top of the range, grouped by what each family of trims is built to do. Prices are base MSRP before destination charges, options, and dealer-specific pricing, and MPG figures are EPA-estimated, so reach out to our team to confirm final numbers.

The easiest way to feel the differences between these nine trims is to see them side by side, so stop by our showroom at 27000 Lorain Road in North Olmsted and our team will walk you through each one.
Gas or Hybrid by Trim
The powertrain you pick changes more than horsepower. It also affects seating, cargo space, and price, so it’s worth weighing alongside the trim.
The Gas Powertrain
Standard on SR5, TRD Sport, and TRD Sport Premium, and available on TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, and Limited, the i-FORCE makes 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque with an EPA-estimated 26 mpg highway. It’s the only powertrain that offers the third-row seat (SR5 and Limited), and it keeps cargo space at 48.4 cubic feet behind the second row and 90.2 with the seats folded. Towing reaches 6,000 pounds.
The Hybrid Powertrain
With the hybrid Off-Road and Off-Road Premium on the Limited, you get 326 horsepower, 465 lb-ft, standard 4WD, and a 2,400-watt AC power supply for camping or job sites. The trade-offs are five-seat-only seating and 42.6 cubic feet of cargo, because the battery sits under the floor. The hybrid battery carries 10-year/150,000-mile coverage, and Toyota dealer specs list the three standard-hybrid trims at 5,800 pounds of towing.
Which Trim Fits You?
The right trim comes down to how you’ll actually use the vehicle, not which badge looks the toughest in the parking lot. Here’s a quick way to match your priorities to a trim.

Frequently Asked Questions
TRD Off-Road vs. TRD Sport, what’s the difference?
The main difference is capability versus styling: the TRD Off-Road adds a locking rear differential, Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control, Bilstein off-road shocks, underbody protection, and 33-inch all-terrain tires, while the TRD Sport focuses on a sport-tuned suspension and street-oriented styling. If you plan to drive on actual trails rather than just want the look, the TRD Off-Road is the better fit, and our team can walk you through current offers and incentives on both trims.
Is the i-FORCE MAX hybrid worth the extra cost?
For buyers who tow regularly or want stronger passing power, yes: the i-FORCE MAX produces 326 combined horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque compared to 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft on the standard engine. On the TRD Off-Road trims the hybrid adds about $2,800, and on the Limited about $4,800, so the decision comes down to how much towing and highway merging performance matters to you. It’s also five-seat only, so it isn’t an option if you want the third row.
Which trims offer third-row seating?
Toyota lists third-row seating as available specifically on the SR5 and Limited trims, and only with the gas i-FORCE engine, since the hybrid battery sits under the cargo floor. Cargo space behind the third row is a modest 12.1 cubic feet, so plan on folding it when you pack for the whole group. We recommend confirming the exact configuration with our sales team before ordering, since availability can vary by build.
How much does the 2027 4Runner cost?
Base MSRP ranges from $43,490 for the SR5 to $68,870 for the TRD Pro, according to Toyota.com. These figures don’t include destination fees, dealer-installed options, or local taxes, so final pricing will vary. Use our Buying Power tool to see which trims fit your budget, and confirm final numbers directly with our team.
What warranty comes with a new 4Runner?
Toyota’s coverage includes a 36-month/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 60-month/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, and hybrid models add 8 years/100,000 miles on hybrid-related components and 10 years/150,000 miles on the hybrid battery. New purchases also include ToyotaCare, which covers factory-scheduled maintenance for two years or 25,000 miles. Confirm the details for your specific trim with our team.
How does the 4Runner compare if I need more passenger space?
If third-row space for regular use is the priority over off-road capability, the Grand Highlander offers more consistent three-row seating than the 4Runner’s available third row. The 4Runner remains the stronger choice for buyers who want body-on-frame durability and genuine towing or off-road capability alongside occasional extra seating.
Ready to See the 2027 4Runner in Person?
Working through the 2027 Toyota 4Runner trim levels comes down to being honest about how you will actually use the vehicle, whether that is a comfortable daily commute, occasional trailer towing, or weekends spent well off the pavement.
