The current Toyota 4-Runner is 194.9″ long, 78″ wide, on a 112.2″ wheelbase, weighing 5,141 lb. Since 1985 it has grown 11% in length and gained 51% in weight. At 16.2 feet it fits a standard garage and fits a street parking space.
Every Toyota 4-Runner generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.
| Generation | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1985–1995 | 174.8″ | 66.5″ | 68.1″ | 103.1″ | 3,411 lb |
| 1996–2002 | 178.7″ | 68.1″ | 68.9″ | 105.5″ | 3,836 lb |
| 2003–2024 | 188.6″ | 74″ | 68.5″ | 109.8″ | 4,350 lb |
| 2025–2026 | 194.9″ | 78″ | 73.6″ | 112.2″ | 5,141 lb |
From 1985 to today the 4-Runner gained 20.1″ of length (11%) and 1,731 lb of weight (51%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.
4-Runner year by year
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 42 years on record. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are new platforms.

Will a 4-Runner fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep; a street parking space is about 18. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 16.2 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 16.2 ft | Fits comfortably |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 6.5 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 886 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 78″ | 73.6″ | +4.4″ |
| Wheelbase | 112.2″ | 112.6″ | -0.4″ |
| Curb weight | 5,141 lb | 4,030 lb | 1,111 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. Lighter than typical for its size generally means better fuel economy and shorter stopping distances.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and a table of forty near-identical rows helps nobody. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation.
