1994–1996 Toyota 4Runner 3.0 TD Specs & Performance

The Toyota 4Runner 3.0 TD brings turbocharged diesel power to a rugged medium SUV designed for practical travel and off-road use. Its upright five-door body, spacious five-seat cabin, and adaptable luggage area make it suitable for family journeys and carrying outdoor equipment. Part-time four-wheel drive supports traction beyond paved roads, while the live rear axle reflects its traditional utility-focused construction. Unlike the petrol V6 versions, this model uses a four-cylinder diesel engine, giving it a distinct mechanical character within the 4Runner range.

For the 1994–1996 model range, the 4Runner 3.0 TD uses a turbocharged 3.0-litre inline-four diesel producing 123 hp at 3,600 rpm and 218 lb-ft of torque at 2,000 rpm. A five-speed manual transmission delivers power to all four wheels. AutoSpecsHub lists a top speed of 96 mph and a 0–60 mph time of 15.5 seconds. Its listed curb weight is 4,145 lbs, while luggage capacity ranges from 17.3 to 60.2 cubic feet. Double-wishbone front suspension and a live rear axle complete its rugged chassis configuration.
