The Road Beat: Review of the 2023 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro - It is in need of an update
Submitted by paula on Sat, 11/19/2022 - 9:25pm
This old-school SUV has off-road ability, but it's probably not for you.

Toyota's perennial SUV, the 4Runner, in its maximum guise: the TRD Pro. TRD stands for Toyota Racing Development, their in-house 'cool' branding department, while the Pro moniker means this is the best of the best, with honors. Think of it as akin to Macbook computers, where the Pro naming scheme is reserved for the serious workhorse machines. But, the 4Runner TRD Pro is the antithesis of a high-tech computer, instead relying on rugged, passive construction to go about its business.
