2026 Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter
Entry 001 in the Garage. Everest green, i-FORCE MAX hybrid, 33-inch tires, and nearly $70,000 as tested. One week, multiple cars and coffees, one very happy two-year-old.

The Good
- Turbo theater: spool, blow-off, torque down low
- Factory overlanding gear, fully under warranty
- Crawl Control, sway bar disconnect, cameras you cannot bolt on
- Dead-quiet EV creep for late nights and campsites
The Bad
- Efficiency is garbage
- High hybrid load floor eats the trunk
- Floaty steering, real body roll
- Car seat load-in takes choreography
