What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Toyota 4Runner?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The 40th Anniversary Special Edition is based on the SR5 and adds retro body stripes, a heritage grille, bronze 17-inch wheels, bronze badges, bronze stitching, floor mats, and a numbered plaque. The SR5, TRD Sport, Limited, TRD Off-Road, and TRD Pro each bring different looks and hardware, so you should compare them carefully if you want the best mix of value and equipment.
• Powertrain: Every version uses a 4.0-litre V6 with a five-speed automatic and standard 4WD in Canada. It delivers 270 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque, with a towing capacity of 2,268 kilograms.
• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, and automatic high-beam headlights. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are standard on every trim level.
• Infotainment: The biggest touchscreen is 8 inches, and the system includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM satellite radio. Navigation, connected services, and a JBL premium audio system are available, but the display is small by modern standards.
• Fuel efficiency: Natural Resources Canada rates it at 13.8 L/100 km in combined driving, and the test vehicle averaged 13.9 L/100 km.

Which 2023 Toyota 4Runner trim should I buy?

The 2023 Toyota 4Runner is offered in 6 trim levels: SR5, TRD Sport, Limited, 40th Anniversary Special Edition, TRD Off-Road, and TRD Pro.

Here's the short version:

• SR5: This is the starting point and the basis for the 40th Anniversary Special Edition, so it makes sense if you want the 4Runner’s core ruggedness without paying for extra styling or hardware.
• TRD Sport: Choose this if you want a version tuned more for on-road athleticism while still keeping the 4Runner’s traditional SUV character.
• Limited: This is the trim to consider if you want the full-time 4WD system and a more road-focused setup.
• 40th Anniversary Special Edition: This is the best-value pick if you want the most distinctive styling and commemorative details without moving into the more specialised off-road trims.
• TRD Off-Road: Pick this if you want the suspension that improves wheel articulation and the off-road hardware focus.
• TRD Pro: This is the one for you if you want the most serious dirt-ready setup, including the skid plate and Fox shock absorbers.

Toyota Safety Sense is standard, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is standard on every trim level.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Toyota 4Runner?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it makes sense to compare listings carefully and move quickly on strong examples.

• Deal availability: 24.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 133 listings available.

If you find a listing below $54,806 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Toyota 4Runner's resale value?

The current average of $54,871 CAD sits slightly below last year's $59,526 CAD.

That softer pricing can help you buy more confidently now, but it also suggests future sellers may face a more competitive market if values continue to ease. The 4Runner’s strong reputation and steady owner satisfaction should help support demand, especially among shoppers who want a rugged SUV with proven appeal. Even so, resale strength will depend on condition, trim, and how well the vehicle has been maintained.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.78/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Toyota 4Runner safe?

The 2023 Toyota 4Runner earns a four-star overall rating from NHTSA, with a three-star rating for front passenger protection in a frontal-impact collision and a three-star rating for rollover resistance.

It earns a 3/10 safety score from our experts.

Toyota Safety Sense includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, and automatic high-beam headlights. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are standard on every trim level.

The main caveat is the crash-test performance: the 4Runner’s age shows in its unimpressive safety results, and IIHS gives it a Marginal rating for driver protection in the small overlap frontal-impact test.

Should I buy a 2023 Toyota 4Runner or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 24.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.82% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.78/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds standard blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, plus the 40th Anniversary Special Edition.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $49,413 CAD, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $54,871 CAD average.
• It keeps the rugged, adventure-ready character alive.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $57,816 CAD, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $54,871 CAD average.
• It adds reliability and durability appeal with the same old-school formula.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, availability, and updated standard safety gear, the 2023 is the sensible choice. If your priority is spending less, the 2022 is the better value path; if you want to compare a slightly newer example, the 2024 is worth a look but costs more.
