2026 Toyota 4Runner in Killeen, TX

Explore the 2026 Toyota 4Runner at Toyota of Killeen

The 2026 Toyota 4Runner brings body-on-frame SUV capability together with a turbocharged i-FORCE engine. For Killeen drivers, that combination works equally well for commuting near Fort Cavazos, carrying family gear, or leaving pavement behind for a Central Texas weekend.

Compared with rugged SUVs such as the Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler, the 4Runner combines trail-ready engineering with Toyota’s everyday usability. Within Toyota’s SUV lineup, it offers a more adventure-focused alternative to road-oriented crossovers while remaining smaller than the three-row Sequoia. Visit Toyota of Killeen to explore the six 4Runner trims and find the configuration that best fits your daily life in Killeen.

2026 Toyota 4Runner Interior Space

The 2026 4Runner offers two-row seating for five, with available third-row seating on select gas configurations increasing capacity to seven passengers. Depending on trim, upholstery ranges from durable fabric to available SofTex® and leather-trimmed seating. Available heated and ventilated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and power-adjustable front seating add comfort for longer drives across Central Texas. LATCH child-seat anchors also help accommodate younger passengers.

2026 Toyota 4Runner Passenger and Cargo Dimensions

The 4Runner’s flexible seating provides room to transition from carrying passengers to hauling larger items. Key interior measurements include:

• Front headroom: Up to 39.7 inches
• Front legroom: 41.8 inches
• Second-row headroom: Up to 37.8 inches
• Second-row legroom: 34.8 inches
• Cargo space behind second row: Up to 48.4 cubic feet
• Maximum cargo space: Up to 90.2 cubic feet with the rear seating folded

That flexibility gives Killeen families useful space for everyday routines without giving up the cargo capacity needed for bigger plans. Keep the seats in use for passengers and groceries during the week, then fold the rear seating when camping equipment, outdoor gear, or larger purchases need the extra room.

Rugged Exterior Features

The 2026 4Runner keeps its recognizable upright SUV profile while adding functional details for daily driving and outdoor use. LED lighting provides modern visibility, while the signature power rear window lets you reach smaller items without opening the entire liftgate. An available hands-free power liftgate can make loading easier when you’re carrying bags, sports equipment, or other gear.

Wheel and tire designs vary across the 2026 4Runner lineup, allowing Killeen drivers to choose between a more trail-focused setup and a more refined street-oriented appearance. Gas-model highlights include:

• TRD Off-Road: 17-inch alloy wheels with all-terrain tires
• TRD Sport: 20-inch TRD Sport alloy wheels
• Limited: 20-inch alloy wheels with a more upscale design

The TRD Off-Road’s 17-inch setup complements its rugged focus, while the larger 20-inch wheels on TRD Sport and Limited models create a more prominent stance for drivers who spend most of their time on Killeen streets and Central Texas highways.

Available exterior colors vary by grade and include:

• Ice Cap
• Cutting Edge
• Underground
• Black
• Heritage Blue
• Supersonic Red

2026 Toyota 4Runner Performance Specs

Every gas-powered 2026 Toyota 4Runner uses Toyota’s i-FORCE 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission manages that power, giving the 4Runner responsive performance for everyday Killeen traffic while maintaining the low-speed control expected from a body-on-frame SUV.

Depending on grade, the 2026 4Runner is available with rear-wheel drive, part-time four-wheel drive, or full-time four-wheel drive. Two-wheel-drive models use an automatic limited-slip differential, while part-time four-wheel drive models add a two-speed electronically controlled transfer case with high- and low-range gearing, Active Traction Control, and Auto LSD.

2026 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road Capability

Drivers planning to venture beyond pavement can choose the gas-powered TRD Off-Road or TRD Off-Road Premium. These trims add specialized equipment that helps the 4Runner manage loose, steep, rocky, or uneven surfaces without sacrificing its usefulness as an everyday SUV.

Notable TRD Off-Road features include:

• Electronic locking rear differential to help provide additional traction when a rear wheel encounters a low-traction surface
• Multi-Terrain Select for adjusting vehicle response to different types of terrain
• CRAWL Control to automatically manage throttle and braking during difficult low-speed maneuvers
• Downhill Assist Control to help maintain a controlled speed when descending steep terrain
• Bilstein® monotube shocks with remote reservoirs for improved control over demanding terrain
• 32-degree approach angle on four-wheel drive TRD Off-Road models to help clear steeper obstacles and transitions

2026 Toyota 4Runner Towing and Payload

Properly equipped, the 2026 Toyota 4Runner can tow up to 6,000 pounds, providing useful capacity for compatible boats, utility trailers, and recreational equipment. Available towing features include:

• Integrated Trailer Brake Controller
• Trailer Backup Guide with Straight Path Assist
• Tow hitch receiver

For Killeen drivers, that capability could help when towing a properly matched boat to Stillhouse Hollow Lake or bringing recreational gear along for a Central Texas weekend.

2026 Toyota 4Runner Technology Features

Toyota Audio Multimedia serves as the connectivity hub inside the 2026 4Runner, with an 8-inch touchscreen standard on SR5 and a larger 14-inch display available on select trims. The system puts commonly used functions such as media, navigation, and smartphone features within easy reach, while steering-wheel controls let drivers handle frequently used functions without reaching for the center screen.

Available technology includes:

• Wireless Apple CarPlay® compatibility
• Wireless Android Auto™ compatibility
• 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster
• Wireless smartphone charging
• JBL® Premium Audio system
• Digital Key capability

The available digital gauge cluster brings driving information directly into the driver’s line of sight, while wireless smartphone connectivity can reduce cable clutter during shorter trips. For Killeen drivers moving between Fort Cavazos, work, school, and errands around town, the 4Runner’s technology focuses on keeping everyday information and entertainment convenient without making the cabin unnecessarily complicated.
