Exterior

Clearing debris and bumps in your path will be easy in the 2026 4Runner thanks to its available 10.1 inches of ground clearance and available high-clearance front bumper. Up on the top of the vehicle, the standard roof rails offer a way to secure your surfboards safely while you travel in Santa Barbara and beyond. For smaller items, use the convenient hands-free power liftgate¹ that’s available on most trims. On misty mornings, turn on the standard fog lights to better illuminate the murky atmosphere. The available rain-sensing variable intermittent windshield wipers with a mist cycle will certainly be useful if you encounter inclement weather on your journey, as the feature is able to automatically detect precipitation and engage the speed and timing accordingly. 

Performance

Powering the 2026 Toyota 4Runner is a standard i-FORCE 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder powertrain capable of generating up to 278 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft. of torque. However, if you prefer to wield more strength while driving near the Old Mission Santa Barbara, then consider opting for a trim with the available i-FORCE MAX 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder hybrid engine that can produce up to 326 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque. We recommend the optional 4WD configuration if you often find yourself off the beaten path, as it can better handle rocky trails or sand than other types of drivetrains. For those who need to haul boats or trailers, the 4Runner is ready to handle the task with its 6,000-lb. maximum towing capacity². 

Interior

The interior of the 4Runner is spacious, with enough room to accommodate up to seven people on your next adventure. However, if you’re not bringing along your friends to Leadbetter Beach, you may prefer to make the most of the cabin space by pushing down the rear seats to allow for 84.4 cubic ft. of cargo volume³. Even with the second and third rows in an upright position, the vehicle offers 12.1 cubic ft. of volume³, which is enough for your gym bag, groceries, and other daily necessities. Besides its practical layout, the cabin features available leather upholstery for a premium look and feel. The front seats will also have an available ventilation function to provide a respite from hot temperatures. Our sales team will gladly point out these features and more of its sophisticated details when you visit our dealership location and explore the 2026 4Runner.
