The TRD version (especially the “TRD Off‑Road” trim) is designed for serious off‑road capability while retaining everyday usability.

It features enhancements such as all‑terrain tires (e.g., 33‑inch A/T tires), specialty shocks (e.g., Bilstein® monotube shocks with remote reservoirs) and terrain‑management systems like Multi‑Terrain Select and Crawl Control.

Recent model years introduced new powertrain options: the 2025 generation offers a 2.4 L turbocharged four‑cylinder with ~278 hp / 317 lb‑ft of torque, and a hybrid “i‑FORCE MAX” option delivering ~326 hp / 465 lb‑ft.

Towing capability rises to up to ~6,000 lbs depending on model/option.

Fuel economy for the TRD Off‑Road (gas engine) is around 19 mpg city / ~25 mpg highway; with the hybrid option it improves to roughly 23 mpg city / 24 mpg highway.

On the interior and utility side: the 4Runner TRD keeps practical features like fold‑flat rear seats, power rear window (in many markets), robust storage solutions, good cargo capacity, and off‑road friendly hardware.
