Which trim is worth it

TRD Off-Road

Worth it

The TRD Off-Road trim enhances the 4Runner's capabilities with features like off-road suspension and a locking rear differential, making it a worthwhile upgrade for those who frequently tackle rough terrains.

Limited

Probably skip

The Limited trim offers additional comfort and luxury features, but if your primary focus is off-road performance, the extra cost may not be justified.
