Is Toyota still making 2024 4Runners?

As of November 2025, Toyota is no longer producing new 2024-model-year 4Runners. The 2024 version was the previous model year, and production has moved on to the newer 2025 model year. If you’re shopping today, you’ll mostly encounter 2025-and-later models or used/leftover 2024s at select dealers.


Current production status


Toyota’s U.S. lineup shows the active 4Runner model year as 2025, with the 2024 model year having finished its production run in the preceding year. The 4Runner’s generation has remained largely unchanged for years, with updates coming mainly through trim lines and special editions rather than a full redesign.


Model year progression


In practice, this means dealers and fleets focus on the newest model year. The 2024 4Runner is not in active production, and new allocations go to the 2025 model year and beyond where applicable.


Here is a quick snapshot of what this means in markets where 2024 4Runners may still appear in inventory:



  • New 2024-model-year 4Runners are generally not being produced; dealer stock is typically focused on 2025 models.

  • Remaining stock of 2024 4Runners may exist at some dealers as new (or “new-old-stock”) units, depending on regional inventory.

  • In many markets, 2024 4Runners sell out quickly, and customers are steered toward the newer 2025 model year vehicles.


For buyers, the practical effect is that fresh, in-production 2024-model 4Runners are rare. If a 2024 is what you want, you’ll likely need to search for dealer leftovers or consider a certified pre-owned option.


Implications for buyers


Shoppers today should expect that a brand-new 2024-model-year 4Runner is not part of Toyota’s current production slate. If you want the latest features and updates, the 2025 model year is the recommended choice; if you’re open to a 2024 model, you’ll encounter leftovers or used examples with standard mileage and price negotiations.


Shopping considerations


When evaluating a 2024 4Runner (new or used), keep these factors in mind:



  • New vs. used: Decide whether you want a pristine 2024 model (likely only as leftover stock) or a used 2024 with mileage and wear.

  • Availability: Call multiple dealers to verify current inventory and whether any new leftovers exist in your region.

  • Pricing and incentives: 2024 leftovers may have limited promotions, while 2025 models often come with updated features and standard incentives.


Always verify the exact model year on the vehicle’s VIN and window sticker to avoid confusion about features and warranty terms.


Outlook for future generations


There has been no official confirmation of a completely new generation of the Toyota 4Runner as of late 2025. Toyota continues to sell the current generation with ongoing trim updates and special editions, rather than pursuing a rapid redesign. The brand’s broader SUV strategy includes electrified and hybrid options, but a concrete timetable for a next-generation 4Runner has not been announced.


Official stance and industry context


As of now, Toyota has not disclosed a timeline for a successor that would mark a new generation of the 4Runner. Any significant redesign or platform shift is typically announced well in advance and supported with marketing and press materials, so buyers should watch Toyota’s official channels for updates.



  • There is no confirmed date for a next-generation 4Runner as of 2025.

  • Current production centers on the 2025 model year with ongoing support for existing owners.

  • Future developments would likely be announced publicly and accompanied by promotions and media coverage.


In short, the 4Runner remains a staple in Toyota’s SUV lineup for now, with continued availability of 2025-and-later models and limited 2024 leftovers depending on regional inventories.


Summary


The 2024 Toyota 4Runner is not actively in production as of November 2025. Toyota has moved forward with the 2025 model year, and any 2024 units available are typically leftovers or used examples. For most buyers, the practical path is to consider a current 2025 4Runner with the latest features, while acknowledging that some dealers may still offer scarce 2024 leftovers. The company has not announced a new generation for the 4Runner, so the current generation remains in production for the near term with updates delivered through trims rather than a full redesign.

Can you still buy a new 2024 4Runner?


The 2024 Toyota 4Runner is available for purchase at Toyota dealerships across the country.



Has 2024 4Runner production stopped?


Toyota has officially stopped production on their 2024s to prepare for their newly redesigned 2025 models. That means whatever 4Runners that are already out there is all that is left for a while.



Are they making 2025 4Runners?


The 2025 Toyota 4Runner is a midsize SUV that comes in nine trim levels: SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Sport Premium, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, Limited, Platinum, TRD Pro and Trailhunter. All models can seat five passengers, and a third row can be added to the SR5 and Limited trims, increasing capacity to seven.



Why are the 2025 4Runners delayed?


(Bloomberg) -- Toyota Motor Corp. is delaying the launch of an updated version of a popular mid-sized SUV in the US market due to supply constraints on key parts shared with other vehicles.
