2017 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium: The Ultimate Memphis Adventure Machine

Imagine waking up on a Saturday morning in Oakland, TN, where the air is crisp and the rural landscape stretches out before you. You load up your gear, knowing that the day ahead might take you from the quiet country roads of Fayette County to the muddy trails along the Mississippi River. The 2017 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium is built exactly for these moments, offering a legendary blend of rugged durability and refined comfort. Whether you are navigating the suburban streets of Millington, TN on your way to the Naval Support Activity base or heading out for a weekend of camping, this SUV provides the confidence and stature that only a true body-on-frame Toyota can deliver. It is more than just a vehicle; it is a passport to the diverse terrain of the Mid-South.

Performance & Capability

Under the hood of this 4Runner lies a formidable 4L V-6 DOHC engine featuring VVT-i variable valve control. This powerplant delivers a stout 270HP, providing plenty of muscle for merging onto the interstate or crawling through uneven terrain. The engine is paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and lock-up capabilities, ensuring smooth power delivery whether you are cruising through West Memphis, AR or exploring the outskirts of town.

What truly sets this TRD Off Road Premium apart is its sophisticated Four Wheel Drive system. It features a manual transfer case shift and a driver selectable rear locking differential, giving you mechanical control over your traction when things get slippery. The TRD off-road ride suspension utilizes an independent double wishbone front setup and a multi-link rigid axle rear suspension, designed to soak up bumps on the trail while maintaining composure on the pavement. With three underbody skid plates and a Class III tow rating with a trailer wiring harness, this vehicle is prepared for heavy-duty tasks. The inclusion of A-TRAC all-speed ABS and driveline traction control further enhances your ability to navigate the low-lying, sometimes muddy floodplains characteristic of the Arkansas River Valley.

Technology & Connectivity

Inside the cabin, the 2017 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium keeps you connected to your world without distracting from the drive. The center stack features a 6.1 inch primary touchscreen display which serves as the hub for the Entune Premium Audio system. This setup includes an integrated navigation system with voice activation, ensuring you can find your way to a new trailhead or a hidden fishing spot in Marion, AR without ever taking your hands off the wheel.

Staying connected is seamless thanks to Handsfree Bluetooth® wireless device connectivity and Bluetooth® wireless audio streaming. For those who prefer a direct connection, there is a USB port and an auxiliary audio input. The Siri Eyes Free voice activated audio controls allow iPhone users to manage their music and messages safely. Furthermore, the HD Radio and SiriusXM capabilities provide a vast array of entertainment options for those longer drives across the state line. All these features are easily managed via the steering wheel mounted audio controls, keeping your focus where it belongs—on the road ahead.

Comfort & Interior

The interior of this 4Runner is a masterclass in functional luxury, featuring SofTex leatherette front seat upholstery in a sleek Black finish. This material is not only comfortable but also highly durable and easy to clean after a day in the dirt. Both the driver and front passenger will enjoy heated front seats, a welcome feature during those chilly Tennessee mornings. The power driver seat offers 8-way directional controls including 2-way power lumbar support, while the passenger seat features 4-way power adjustments, ensuring a perfect fit for everyone.

Practicality is woven into every corner of the cabin. You will find five 12V power outlets and a convenient interior 120V AC power outlet, perfect for charging tools or powering small appliances at a campsite. The 40-20-40 folding rear seats provide incredible versatility for hauling long items while still leaving room for passengers. One of the most beloved features of the 4Runner is the power rear windshield, which allows for excellent airflow and easy access to the cargo area. With manual climate control and rear under seat climate control ducts, the cabin remains comfortable for all five occupants, whether you are running errands in the suburbs or embarking on a cross-country trek.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Safety is a cornerstone of the Toyota brand, and the 2017 4Runner is equipped with a comprehensive suite of protective features. The vehicle is built with a total of 8 airbags, including dual front impact airbags, seat mounted side impact airbags, and curtain first, second, and third-row overhead airbags. Specialized driver and passenger side knee airbags provide an extra layer of protection in the event of a collision.

To help prevent accidents before they happen, the 4Runner features 4-wheel antilock brakes (ABS) with brake assist and ventilated disc brakes both front and rear. The back-up camera provides a clear view of what is behind you, making it much easier to hitch a trailer or back out of a tight parking space in a busy shopping center. For added peace of mind, the Safety Connect emergency communication system provides a vehicle integrated emergency SOS system and a vehicle tracker, ensuring help is never far away if you need it.

Exterior & Design

Dressed in Midnight Black Metallic, this 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium commands attention with its rugged and purposeful stance. The exterior design is highlighted by 17-inch 7-spoke unique off-road alloy wheels and body-colored fender flares. Functional elements like the black roof rails and tow hooks emphasize its adventurous spirit, while the rear lip spoiler and projector beam headlights add a touch of modern style.

The power tilt/slide moonroof with a sunshade allows you to bring the outdoors in, whether you are enjoying the sunshine or stargazing from a remote clearing. Heated door mirrors with integrated turn signal indicators improve visibility and safety in inclement weather. The front of the vehicle is defined by a body-colored bar grille and front fog lights, which help pierce through the thick morning fog often found near the Mississippi River. Every detail, from the metal-look bumper rub strips to the deep tinted privacy glass, has been chosen to enhance both the aesthetic appeal and the practical utility of this iconic SUV.
