The Toyota 4Runner is back and reimagined for a new era — combining the model's long-running reputation for rugged durability with modern powertrains, improved towing, and refreshed on- and off-road capability. At Gregg Young Toyota of Ottumwa we help Fairfield drivers match the right 4Runner trim to their needs: daily driving, overlanding, family hauling, or heavy-duty towing and trail use.

Redesigned for capability and modern drivability

Toyota's latest 4Runner moves beyond the older V6-only design to offer new powertrain choices including a turbocharged i-Force 2.4L and an electrified i-Force Max hybrid variant. Those updates deliver stronger low-end torque and more usable power for highway passing, towing, and climbing rough trails — while keeping the 4Runner's classic body-on-frame toughness. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Power, torque, and towing

Depending on the powertrain you choose, the new 4Runner delivers substantially different performance. The non-hybrid turbo i-Force makes robust output for a midsize SUV, while the i-Force Max hybrid brings even higher combined horsepower and especially high torque for pulling and low-speed grunt on steep terrain. Toyota's latest updates raise maximum towing capability — properly equipped 4Runners can tow up to 6,000 pounds in many configurations, giving you real flexibility for boats, trailers, and recreational gear. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Off-road trims and trail readiness

Toyota continues to offer serious off-road choices in the 4Runner lineup. New Trailhunter and TRD-oriented trims bring factory-backed hardware such as heavy-duty suspension tuning, underbody protection, locking or limited-slip differentials, and other trail-focused components. Those packages make the 4Runner an excellent platform for weekend overlanding or more remote adventures outside Fairfield. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Interior comfort and towing conveniences

Inside, the 4Runner balances utility with modern comfort: large touchscreen infotainment with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, practical storage, multiple USB ports, and available premium upholstery on higher trims. Tow-friendly features such as trailer-sway control, integrated tow prep, and multi-angle camera views make hitching, backing, and towing simpler and safer for drivers new to trailering. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
