What the numbers say

A 2021 Toyota 4-Runner still asks 70% of what a 2026 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 87 suvs we price, that ranks #4, above the 47% class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 1 (−14.8%), after which losses ease to about 7.4% a year. Mileage costs it 38%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles. Calculated from 1,130 listings.
