2018 Toyota 4Runner

The 4Runner gains a pair of new option packages for 2018. The Wilderness package, available on most trim levels, includes roof rack crossbars, all-weather floor mats and a cargo tray. The TRD Enhancement package, available on the TRD trim levels, adds special 17-inch matte gray alloy wheels and a special skidplate with "TRD" stamped into it. See the 2018 Toyota 4Runner models for sale near you

Forget the Limited. It doesn't have the same off-roading credentials as the other models, and without that, you might as well get a more family friendly and efficient crossover like the Highlander. As such, we would recommend the TRD Off-Road. It doesn't have quite as much hardware as the TRD Pro, but you probably won't need it. It has all the capability and off-road toys you'll likely need, it looks pretty cool and comes with a compelling amount of equipment in standard or Premium guise.
