2021 4 Runner, TRD Off Road / Venture / Trail Edition
|
KDSS is offered on the Venture and TRD Off Road models. It is not offered on the *new* Trail model.
The Trail Edition from 2010-2016 was re-named the TRD Off Road in 2017 and matched the Tacoma naming convention.
Toyota then introduced a different model that is an SR5 with cosmetic changes in 2020 and called it a Trail model - which is just super ****in lazy. So the result is essentially this:
4Runner comes in 3 basic setups: (1) SR5, (2) TRD OR (rear locker, crawl and MTS), and (3) Limited (AWD, XREAS, 20" wheels). Each of those 3 can then come in a couple flavors of interior, suspension, and cosmetic packages.
SR5 - comes in base, premium, and trail.
TRD OR comes in base, premium, Venture, and TRD Pro. (base premium and Venture can add KDSS - Pro has Fox suspension and cannot add KDSS). The original TRD Pro concept models had KDSS but it was dropped from the model before it was produced.
Limited only comes in base or night shade cosmetics.
The past naming is where the confusion comes from. Toyota got very lazy with its naming here.
2010-2016 Trail = 2017-current Trd OR and has KDSS optional.
2020-current Trail = SR5 with cosmetic upgrades and does not have KDSS.
2020-current Venture = TRD OR plus cosmetics
And if you go back to the FJ Cruiser where some of these names started, Trail team edition transfered to become the 4Runner Trail model. And FJ Cruiser Trail Team Ultimate Edition or "TTUE" became what is now the TRD Pro 4Runner.
