The 2027 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro Gets a Bold New Look with Hot Honey

Toyota has officially revealed the exclusive TRD Pro colors for the 2027 model year, and the all-new Hot Honey is making a statement. Designed exclusively for the 2027 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro, Hot Honey replaces the 2026 Wave Maker blue and continues Toyota’s tradition of giving its flagship off-road models a unique color each year. Alongside the Tacoma, Tundra, and Sequoia—which receive the similar Honeycomb color—the 4Runner stands apart with its own distinct shade.

For 4Runner enthusiasts, it’s another reason to appreciate Toyota’s commitment to keeping the TRD Pro lineup fresh while maintaining the legendary off-road capability that has made the 4Runner an icon.

Meet Hot Honey

Hot Honey is a rich golden-yellow color inspired by the natural tones of honey, giving the 4Runner a rugged yet eye-catching appearance. Toyota’s CALTY Design team continues its tradition of creating exclusive TRD Pro colors that stand out both on the trail and around town. While the Tacoma, Tundra, and Sequoia receive a color called Honeycomb, the imported 4Runner gets its own slightly different shade known as Hot Honey.

Toyota has built a reputation for memorable TRD Pro colors over the years, including:

• Inferno
• Cement
• Voodoo Blue
• Army Green
• Lunar Rock
• Solar Octane
• Mudbath
• Wave Maker
• Hot Honey (2027)

These limited-production colors have become one of the defining characteristics of the TRD Pro lineup.

The 4Runner TRD Pro Is Still Built for Adventure

Although the new color is the headline for 2027, the 4Runner TRD Pro continues to offer the same impressive off-road hardware introduced with the sixth-generation model.

Key features include:

• TRD-tuned FOX® QS3 Internal Bypass shocks
• Full-time four-wheel drive
• Locking rear differential
• Multi-Terrain Select
• Crawl Control
• High-clearance front bumper
• 33-inch all-terrain tires
• Integrated LED light bar
• RIGID Industries® LED fog lights

Toyota has not yet announced additional mechanical updates for the 2027 4Runner, with more details expected closer to production.

Make Your 4Runner Stand Out Even More

Whether you’re planning to order a 2027 Hot Honey TRD Pro or already own a fifth- or sixth-generation 4Runner, aftermarket upgrades are the perfect way to personalize your SUV for your adventures.

Some of the most popular upgrades include:

• Recovery gear

These modifications help improve capability while making your 4Runner ready for everything from weekend camping trips to serious overlanding expeditions.

Final Thoughts

Toyota continues to prove that off-road vehicles don’t have to blend into the crowd. The new Hot Honey finish gives the 2027 4Runner TRD Pro a bold personality while preserving everything enthusiasts already love about the platform.

Whether the color becomes the next fan favorite remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—the 4Runner TRD Pro will continue to be one of the most capable and recognizable SUVs on and off the trail.
