Introduced in 2009, the fifth generation of the 4Runner is one of the most off-road SUVs in the mid-size segment available in the United States. The Japanese utility vehicle enters 2020 with a higher price than ever before, and among the newities, the Venture Edition stands out with roof rack crossbars and the Yakima Megawarrior Rack coming as standard.
Gunmetal 17-inch TRD wheels, black mirror caps, badging, spoiler, and door handles are a few other particularities of the 4Runner Venture, a special edition that’s also equipped with 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment, Amazon Alexa, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. Toyota Safety Sense P is standard regardless of trim level, sweetening the deal with automatic high beams, high-speed dynamic radar cruise control, and auto braking.

An eight-speaker sound system and 4.2-inch MID screen are also featured, along with two USB ports for the rear passengers, Smart Key, Push-Button Start, SoftTex upholstery for the powered and heated front seats, TRD lettering on the headrests, and smart brake-override functionality.

Like every other 4Runner, the Venture Edition carries a 36-month or 36,000-mile warranty to all components other than maintenance items. 60 months of warranty covers the powertrain and corrosion, and the 4Runner also comes standard with 24-hour roadside assistance for two years or 25,000 miles and a factory-scheduled maintenance plan. Eight airbags, Lane Departure Warning with Sway Warning System, and CRAWL control are a few other highlights, with CRAWL programmed to provide off-road functionality when the going gets really tough while working in conjunction with the Active Traction Control (A-TRAC) and Multi-Terrain Select systems.

Customers going for the Venture Edition are treated to a four-link rear axle and coil-spring suspension, part-time 4WD, a two-speed transfer case with selectable low range, and a rear locker. In other words, this particular specification is a 4Runner TRD Off-Road Premium trim level in disguise.

$36,020 is the starting price for the mid-size SUV for 2020, excluding destination charge. The Venture Edition retails at $44,285 while the most expensive options are the Nightshade Edition at $48,660 and TRD Pro at $49,765.
