What is the premium package for 4Runner?
The Premium Package is a factory option bundle offered on select 4Runner trims that adds luxury and convenience features. Its exact contents vary by model year, but it typically includes leather or SofTex seating, heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a sunroof, and an upgraded audio/navigation system.
Because Toyota adjusts equipment across generations and markets, the Premium Package contents can shift from year to year. In recent years it has appeared on higher-trim models and generally bundles comfort and tech upgrades such as leather or SofTex seating, heated front seats, a power driver’s seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, a power moonroof, and an upgraded audio system with navigation on certain builds. Some model years also include additional safety or premium trim accents. To know precisely what your vehicle has, check the window sticker, the build sheet, or speak with a Toyota dealer for the exact contents by VIN.
