What’s new for the 2027 Toyota 4Runner: what Atlanta drivers should know
Atlanta drivers shopping the 2027 Toyota 4Runner can buy one new at World Toyota, 5800 Peachtree Boulevard in Atlanta. Toyota’s published figures set out what changed for the model year, trim by trim.
Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Atlanta. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.
What changed between the 2026 and 2027 Toyota 4Runner?
For the 2027 model year, Toyota’s newsroom names one visible change: TRD Pro models receive a new Hot Honey exterior color. According to Toyota’s USA Newsroom, the shade is slightly different from the Honeycomb color used on Tundra, Sequoia and Tacoma (Toyota USA Newsroom, 2026).
A buyer comparing a 2027 with a 2026 should check the trim and the color on the window sticker, then compare price and equipment at the dealer.
At World Toyota, we sell the 4Runner alongside the rest of the Toyota lineup, including the Tacoma, Tundra, Sequoia and Highlander.
Which engines does the 2027 Toyota 4Runner offer?
The 4Runner comes with two engines. Most trims use the i-FORCE 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, rated at 278 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. The TRD Off-Road i-FORCE MAX and TRD Off-Road Premium i-FORCE MAX are rated at 326 hp and 465 lb-ft.
That gap matters for towing and for the kind of trail work a buyer plans. Both engines carry a maximum towing rating of 6,000 pounds on the trims that list it, so the choice comes down to how hard the vehicle will work each day.
Stop by World Toyota at 5800 Peachtree Blvd, Atlanta, GA 30341, and ask which 4Runner trims carry each engine before you decide.
Which 2027 Toyota 4Runner trim fits the way you drive?
Every 4Runner trim in Toyota’s published figures carries a 6,000-pound maximum towing rating. Seating splits the lineup: the SR5 (RWD and 4WD) and Limited seat seven, while the TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, TRD Sport Premium, TRD Off-Road Premium and i-FORCE MAX versions seat five.
For a family that needs a third row, the SR5 or Limited fits. For a driver who mostly needs off-road hardware and a shorter cabin, a five-seat TRD trim fits better.
Standard equipment changes by trim. Toyota’s published 2026 specifications list the SR5 with a 7-inch color multi-information display, an 8-inch multimedia screen, LED head and fog lights, a power rear liftgate window, Smart Key and 12 cup holders (Toyota USA Newsroom, 2026). The TRD Sport adds sport-tuned suspension, 20-inch alloy wheels, a hood scoop, automatic climate control, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and Qi wireless charging (Toyota USA Newsroom, 2026).
What does a 2027 Toyota 4Runner cost in Atlanta?
The 2027 4Runner starts at $43,490 for the SR5 and runs to $68,870 for the TRD Pro (Toyota, 2027). In Toyota’s 2026 pricing, the SR5 RWD starts at $42,270, the SR5 4WD at $44,270, and the TRD Sport RWD at $48,750. The top trims, the Trailhunter and TRD Pro, start at $68,400 and $68,600.
Georgia adds its one-time title ad valorem tax on the purchase. In place of a sales tax on a titled vehicle purchase, Georgia charges Title Ad Valorem Tax, currently 7.0% of the vehicle’s fair market value, paid once when the vehicle is titled (Georgia Department of Revenue, 2026).
Ask the finance office for the TAVT figure on the exact vehicle before you sign.
What safety and tech features come standard on the 2027 Toyota 4Runner?
All 2026 4Runner models come standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, Toyota’s suite of active safety and convenience systems (Toyota USA Newsroom, 2026). The 2026 4Runner’s NHTSA overall rating is 4 out of 5 stars, with frontal 4, side 5 and rollover 4 (Edmunds, 2026).
Touchscreen size depends on the trim. The SR5, TRD Sport and TRD Off-Road carry an 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia screen as standard. The TRD Sport Premium, TRD Off-Road Premium, Limited, Trailhunter and TRD PRO carry a 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia screen with JBL Premium Audio (Toyota, 2026).
How do the 2027 4Runner, Land Cruiser and Highlander differ on seating and towing?
The Highlander XLE seats eight and tows 5,000 pounds, and the Highlander Hybrid XLE tows 3,500 pounds. Those are Toyota’s published figures for the 2026 model year.
The Highlander XLE starts at $46,270, and the Highlander Hybrid XLE at $48,020.
A buyer who needs three rows and a hybrid should compare the Highlander with a 4Runner SR5 on the same day. A buyer who needs body-on-frame off-road hardware should start with the 4Runner.

Jebsen helped us with the purchase Of our new Tacoma. If you go here to buy a car, I highly recommend you ask for him! We needed very specific numbers to make it work and he stayed with us until 12:30am to make it happen! He was friendly, helpful, courteous and not your typical pushy sales person. Everyone we encountered was awesome including the sales manager and finance manager they all stayed late to help us. We felt terrible for keeping everyone late but we’re also very thankful That they all went above and beyond for us We also got a great price better than I found at any other dealer and online. Thank You Jebsen and world Toyota!”
