I believe there are about 5 different 4Runner models and I am finding it confusing.
I would be looking for the best model that would work best off road.
Which model should I look at?

TRD Pro for best off road stuff without doing any mods yourself. I have the TRD Off Road, no complaints about it at all.

Yep the TRD would be the rig you want, we have a limited and although a nice ride, it's not set up for off- roading like the TRD is.

I have the SR5 premium, and I never get close to getting stuck in the snow and back roads. I don''t climb rocks, so for me it is good enough. I have chains, and never put them on, and it was a bad winter. It has different traction modes and downhill assist. It does not have lockers.
The stock tires, dunlop I think, are not rated well for off road, but they seemed great to me. I will get premium tires when these burn up, so it should be even better I guess.

I'm going to pick up my 2019 4Runner today. Do your research. The Trd pro is really overpriced for what you get. I went with the Trd off-road premium with the kdss upgrade.

I went with the Trd off-road premium with the kdss upgrade. What I have as well. KDSS is nice. Off road benefits as well as on road. Much less body roll in the turns.

Which model should I look at? First gen 1985 with solid axle and rear locker. Limited slip in front.. Lift with 33's..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

The TRD Off Road gets you the most capable vehicle for the money. The PRO is a little flashier but it is priced accordingly. If you can afford a flashy new truck why not.
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

How about an earlier used one with a few warts and moles on it so you can flog it without worrying about striping the paint on it on the first oak branch that you go under? I've had old trucks and I've had new trucks and I had a lot more off road fun with an old one when the rig had some wear on it. A winch gets you out of near anything better than an expensive high tech 4wd system. There is a pampered Platinum F-150 in my garage right now that doesn't get out stump jumping like 'Ol Blue did.
My other auto is a .45
The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory

2016 Trail for me. Off road can imply a lot of different terrain requirements. I think having the correct tires and shock upgrades for your intended purpose and appropriate lighting like Baja LED lights will serve you well.

Picked up my 2019 4Runner TRhttps://trail4runner.com/2018/01/04/5th-gen-4runner-performance-mods/D Premium with the KDSS yesterday. I can afford the PRO, but was looking for an on/off road vehicle. It’s going back to the dealer for step bars, clear bra, window tinting, and a tire swap (Nittos). Ordered a Pedal Commander. I see a steel front bumper, winch, and maybe a roof rack in the near future. Let the modding fun begin! https://trail4runner.com/2018/01/04/5th-gen-4runner-performance-mods/
