Why hasn’t Toyota retired the 4Runner in favor of the Highlander?
The short answer would be that there continues to be a big audience for the 4Runner. U.S. sales of the 4Runner in 2022 came in at around 121,000 units. Sales of the Highlander in the same period reached nearly 223,000 units. Both are quite desirable figures for any automaker. Check out our full comparison between the Toyota 4Runner and Highlander.
