Year to Year Changes
1991 Toyota 4Runner:
4Runner now comes with a full steel roof instead of the detachable fiberglass shell that previous models had from the middle pillars rearward.
1992 Toyota 4Runner:
A mild restyling of the front end gives the '92 4Runner a new grille, front bumper, and aero-style headlamps. Also, power steering and a new rear wiper/washer system become standard. In back, the spare tire is now stored under the rear of the vehicle instead of on an outside carrier mounted to the rear door. Also, the 3-door model switches to 4WD only, and comes just with the V6/automatic powertrain combination.
1993 Toyota 4Runner:
The slow-selling 2-door model is finally dropped from the 4Runner lineup, leaving just a trio of SR5 4-door models: rear- and 4-wheel-drive V6s, and a price-leader 4WD 4-cylinder. Both 4WD models now come with Toyota's more sophisticated 4WDemand shift-on-the-fly system.
1994 Toyota 4Runner:
The big news for 1994 is the arrival of 4-wheel antilock brakes. The new system is only available on 4Runners with the V6. It replaces the previous rear-wheels-only system that had been in place since 1990. All 4Runners now provide a center high-mounted stoplight and side door guard beams.
1995 Toyota 4Runner:
The 1995 4Runner is a complete carryover from 1994, except for new exterior tape stripes for V6 models.
