Launched for the 2010 model year, the 5th generation 4Runner (N280) marked a return to a more truck-like, rugged design. Built on a traditional body-on-frame platform, all 5th gens are powered by the durable 4.0L 1GR-FE V6 engine, initially paired with a 5-speed automatic. A significant exterior and interior refresh in 2014 updated the styling and it continued with minimal changes until the end of its run in 2024, making it one of the longest-running single generations of any modern vehicle.
Collectors and enthusiasts seek the 5th gen for its legendary reliability and immense off-road potential. Unlike most modern unibody SUVs, its stout frame and solid rear axle provide a tough foundation for modification and heavy use. The massive aftermarket support allows for endless customization, from simple lifts to full-blown overland builds. TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro models are particularly sought after for their factory off-road equipment, including locking rear differentials and upgraded suspension.
The market for these 4Runners is exceptionally strong, with depreciation being among the lowest in the automotive industry. With an average sale price around $35,000, there's a huge spread depending on year, mileage, and trim. Early, high-mileage SR5 models can be found for under $20,000, while late-model, low-mileage TRD Pros can sell for over $60,000, with some modified examples reaching as high as $84,000.
Buying Tips
- Inspect the frame thoroughly for rust, especially inside the rails near the rear axle. Surface rust is common, but flaking or perforation is a major concern.
- Look for evidence of hard off-road use, such as dented skid plates, scraped differential housings, and damaged lower control arms.
- On Limited trims, inspect the X-REAS suspension system for fluid leaks from the shocks or lines. It's expensive to repair, so many owners replace it with standard shocks.
- Verify that the 4WD system, including the transfer case and rear locker (if equipped), engages properly. Service records for fluid changes are a significant plus.
Prices based on market data range from under $15,000 for early, high-mileage examples to $84,000 for low-mileage, late-model TRD Pro variants.
