The new Toyota 4Runner for sale starts at a lower TSRP with a more robust trim menu and optional third-row seating; meanwhile, the Land Cruiser is limited to two trims and one seating configuration.
The Land Cruiser achieves stronger core power, but the 4Runner can match it with the same available hybrid engine. Both SUVs tow up to 6,000 pounds.4
The Land Cruiser has built-in off-roading components, but the higher 4Runner trims incorporate a wider range of trail-focused gear, making it a superior nature-loving companion in most cases.

Both the 4Runner and Land Cruiser have well-equipped cabins. The Land Cruiser provides slightly elevated standard refinements, but the 4Runner offers comparable comfort and convenience in its menu.
Each SUV has similar tech, starting with an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. Both can be configured with a Head-Up Display, but the 4Runner has a larger center display upgrade than the new Toyota Land Cruiser.
Choose the Toyota RAV4 if you want a rugged SUV with trail-conquering configurations, ample customization opportunities, and impressive load space.
Choose the Toyota Land Cruiser if you value standard hybrid output, refined comfort, and upscale amenities combined with moderate yet proven all-terrain capability.

Overall, the Land Cruiser is larger than the 4Runner, measuring 196.4 inches in length and up to 76.1 inches in height. However, the 4Runner is slightly wider, with a maximum width of 79.9 inches. Both are built on a 112.2-inch wheelbase. Inside, the 4Runner allocates more space for your gear, while the Land Cruiser prioritizes passenger comfort.
Both SUVs are capable off-roaders. However, the 4Runner elevates your trail explorations with specialized models – most notably the TRD Off-Road, Trailhunter, and TRD Pro. These variants offer enhancements like FOX® shocks (TRD Pro), an electronically controlled locking rear differential, skid plates, and underbody transfer case protection. Though the Land Cruiser has its own capable gear, the 4Runner terrain packages are more robust.
Both SUVs in our Toyota Land Cruiser vs. 4Runner comparison make for excellent family vehicles – it comes down to your priorities. The 4Runner has more maximum cargo space, and it can be had with an optional third row. Meanwhile, the Land Cruiser comes with more luxe standard creature comforts and provides additional passenger space. Bring your family to our dealership to test these SUVs out firsthand.

4Before towing, confirm your vehicle and trailer are compatible, hooked up and loaded properly and that you have any necessary additional equipment. Do not exceed any Weight Ratings and follow all instructions in your Owner's Manual. The maximum you can tow depends on base curb weight plus the total weight of any cargo, occupants, and added vehicle equipment. "Added vehicle equipment" includes additional standard/optional equipment and accessories added by the manufacturer, dealers, and/or vehicle owners. The only way to be certain of your vehicle's exact curb weight is to weigh your vehicle without passengers or cargo. [Calculated with the new SAE J2807 method.] Installation of a tow hitch receiver or other accessories located near the rear bumper or side-door kick sensors may require disabling or removing the kick sensor, and the sensor operation setting in your vehicle should be turned off. See Owner's Manual for limitations.
