Toyota Celebrates 4Runner Anniversary with Special Edition

The Toyota 4Runner will reach the 40-year mark with the 2023 model year, and to celebrate, Toyota is offering a 4WD-only 2023 4Runner 40th Anniversary Special Edition.

The 2023 Toyota 4Runner 40th Anniversary Special Edition is based on the SR5 Premium grade and will be available in three colors: White, Midnight Black Metallic and Barcelona Red Metallic. It will stand out from the lineup thanks to bronze-colored 17-inch alloy wheels, a body-color-matching TOYOTA heritage grille and a bronze-colored 40th Anniversary exterior tailgate badge.

Also included is a heritage graphics package created especially for this anniversary model, Toyota said. The first 4Runner was built on the Toyota pickup platform, which itself founded the heritage of Toyota’s success in off-road racing. As an homage to those early racers, the 4Runner 40th Anniversary Edition will be wearing retro-inspired yellow, orange and red body graphics.

The anniversary theme continues inside, where the 4Runner 40th Anniversary Special Edition gets exclusive badging on the center console and features a bronze-colored cross-stitch shift knob, bronze-colored seat stitching, 40th Anniversary floormats and a 40th Anniversary logo on the Black SofTex-trimmed seats. A power moonroof is also standard.
