2026 Toyota 4Runner Limited: Bristol Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2026 4Runner Limited
The Limited is the comfort-first 4Runner, priced from $56,900 MSRP plus $1,595 destination. It brings heated and ventilated leather-trimmed front seats, a 14-inch touchscreen, a 14-speaker JBL audio system, Adaptive Variable Suspension, a Panoramic View Monitor, a power moonroof and 20-inch machined-finish wheels. Rear-wheel drive is standard, full-time 4WD adds $2,000, and the i-FORCE MAX hybrid with full-time 4WD is available at $61,700. Like the SR5, it can be ordered with a third row for seven seats. Toyota of Bristol stocks the lineup at 1069 Farmington Avenue in Bristol, Connecticut.
The trim for people who don't want to rough it
Every 4Runner is a truck underneath, but the Limited is the one that tries to hide it. The grille swaps the black honeycomb for chrome tri-bar styling, the overfenders are painted to match the body, and the wheels grow to 20 inches with a machined finish. Inside, the seats are leather-trimmed with both heating and ventilation in front, the touchscreen expands to 14 inches with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 14-speaker JBL system comes with a subwoofer, an amplifier and a portable JBL FLEX speaker you can carry out to the tailgate. A power tilt-and-slide moonroof and a hands-free power liftgate round out the convenience list.
Two chassis details matter more than the leather. Adaptive Variable Suspension adjusts damping on the fly, which is the feature most likely to change how the truck feels on a broken, frost-heaved New England road, and the Panoramic View Monitor builds an overhead picture from the cameras, handy in a tight parking-lot spot. The Limited is built around comfort rather than the locking rear differential and all-terrain tires of the off-road trims, so it's the wrong pick for rock crawling and a very good one for everything else.
Engines and drive systems
Three combinations are on the menu. The base Limited is rear-wheel drive with the 278-horsepower i-FORCE four-cylinder, rated at up to 20 mpg city, 26 highway and 22 combined. Adding full-time 4WD costs $2,000 (for $58,900) and changes the highway estimate to 24 mpg and the combined figure to 21. The third option is the i-FORCE MAX hybrid at $61,700, which pairs up to 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque with full-time 4WD and an EPA estimate of 22 city, 24 highway and 23 combined. That's $4,800 over the rear-drive base, though against the 4WD non-hybrid Limited the premium for the hybrid is $2,800, which makes it the better comparison. The hybrid adds a 2400W AC power supply, and every Limited tows up to 6,000 pounds.
Is the hybrid worth it here
The extra power is the headline, but there's a practical side too. Full-time 4WD is built into the hybrid, so a buyer who already planned to spend $2,000 on the 4WD upgrade is really paying $2,800 for the electrified powertrain, and gets better city mileage plus the onboard power outlet in the bargain. Stop-and-go driving, which is a fair description of Farmington Avenue at rush hour, is where a hybrid system typically helps most. If your 4Runner will spend most of its life on highways and you want the lowest price, the rear-drive base is perfectly good.
What buyers say about the experience
Higher-priced trims put more weight on the finance meeting, and shoppers at Toyota of Bristol have noticed how it's handled. Doreen G., who bought a different Toyota, the 2026 Crown Signia, from the dealership, wrote, "There were no high pressure tactics used at any stage of the purchase process which was very much appreciated."
Frequently asked questions
What does the 4Runner Limited have that the TRD Sport Premium doesn't?
The Limited focuses on luxury touches such as leather-trimmed seats, a chrome grille, adaptive suspension and a moonroof, and it offers a third row. Both trims have a 14-inch screen, heated and ventilated front seats and JBL audio at the top of their packages, so the choice often comes down to styling and the suspension tuning.
Is the Limited available with 4WD?
Yes. Full-time 4WD is a $2,000 option on the standard engine, and it is built into the i-FORCE MAX hybrid version. The Limited's 4WD is a full-time system rather than the part-time setup found on the SR5 and TRD trims.
Can the Limited seat seven?
Yes, third-row seating is available on the Limited and the SR5, so up to seven passengers. Every other 4Runner trim seats five.
What is the hybrid Limited's price and mileage?
The MSRP is $61,700 before the $1,595 destination charge. Toyota's EPA estimate for the hybrid 4WD configuration is 22 mpg city, 24 highway and 23 combined, versus 21 combined for the non-hybrid 4WD Limited.
How is sales tax calculated on a Limited in Connecticut?
Because the rear-drive base Limited totals $58,495 with destination, it the 7.75 percent rate applies, which works out to about $4,530 in sales tax before title, registration and fees. The hybrid at $63,295 comes to roughly $4,905. See the pricing and leasing guide for each trim's math.
