2027 Toyota 4Runner Near Shawnee, KS
2027 Toyota 4Runner
A sixth-generation off-road icon with a stout body-on-frame platform, up to 6,000 pounds of towing, and contemporary tech — built for the trail without forgetting the daily commute. See it near Olathe, KS.
McCarthy Toyota of Sedalia
An off-road dynasty, sixth generation
The 4Runner's off-road lineage traces back to the early 1980s, and the 2027 model - the sixth generation of this mid-size SUV — carries that reputation forward with contemporary connectivity and driver-assistance tech layered onto a genuinely capable body-on-frame platform. An optional four-wheel-drive system built specifically for off-roading keeps the trail credentials intact.
On pavement, the 4Runner is comfortable but noticeably truck-like in its handling - a trade-off most rivals in this class also make. Where it shines is off the beaten path, thanks to good visibility and quick steering, along with available terrain-focused hardware like a locking rear differential and disconnecting anti-roll bars.
An optional third-row seat is available, but the space back there is small enough that no adult will be comfortable, so it's best reserved for kids on occasional trips. Buyers who need a roomy third row for adults on a regular basis should consider the larger Toyota Grand Highlander instead. A separate 4Runner Hybrid also exists for shoppers who want more power and additional off-road equipment, including manually adjustable dampers. No major changes are planned for the 2027 model year.
What Stands Out
- Genuine off-road capability, not just styling
- Comfortable, composed on-road ride
- Contemporary tech standard across the lineup
- Strong 6,000-lb towing rating for the class
Worth Knowing
- The turbo four could use more power
- Optional third row is too small to be useful
- Handling feels clumsier than car-based rivals

Pricing shown reflects industry estimates for the 2027 model year and excludes tax, title, license, and dealer fees. TRD Sport, TRD Sport Premium, and TRD Off-Road Premium trims fill out the middle of the lineup between SR5 and Limited. The four-wheel-drive TRD Off-Road is a strong value pick for genuine trail equipment without reaching flagship pricing; a Premium version adds faux leather seats, a heated steering wheel, and a larger touchscreen.
