The 4runner TRD Sport is a new street-tuned version of the SUV and a stark contrast to the TRD Pro off-road model.
It features a performance suspension that links the front and rear shock absorbers to help keep the body under control during on-road driving without entirely sacrificing it's ability to ride comfortably on rough roads.

The 4Runner TRD Sport also gets a hood scoop, 20-inch wheels, a front lip spoiler, black roof rails and body color accents on the grille, rocker panels and wheel arches.

The model is powered by the same 270 hp/278 lb-ft 4.0-liter V6 as the rest of the lineup and is capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds.
