Hi everyone,

I'm looking at the Limited hybrid, Limited non Hybrid, and Platinum trims on Toyota's website: https://www.toyota.com/4runner/features/mpg_other_price/8632/8668/8638

I noticed that on Toyota's website the Limited iForceMax and Limited non Hybrid powertrain do not come with a spare tire. Yet the Platinum trim does come with a spare. I can't remember which video I saw, but a Youtuber was reviewing a Limited Hybrid and he showed a spare tire underneath the truck. Or is the spare an option on the Limited?

I know it's early, but does anyone know for sure?

Could that mean the Limited trim comes with a temporary compact spare instead of full-size spare? I know the Tacoma SR and SR5 come with a smaller non-full-size spare.

Did the spare tire you saw on the Limited Hybrid 4Runner look like this? It's the compact spare tire on the Tacoma SR / SR5

Thanks for the pics. It was this video of the 4Runner Limited iForce Max, at the 8:10 mark he mentioned the full size spare tire:

Looks like a Goodyear Convenience tire? I can't tell if it's full or compact spare, and I don't see a spare tire as an option on the website.

YouTube influencers make mistakes all the time. One of then claimed the TRD Off Road has "dual auto climate control" and its actually single. Another one talked about sport plus but failed to mention that is only on certain trims. Another own claimed you have to get the hybrid to get the 6000 lb towing. Not true. All 4Runners are rated to tow 6000.

I'm also noticing on the Toyota website that some non-hybrid trims have start stop and some do not. I hate start stop with a passion.

Probably the best and most informative review so far. Sport + mode makes the engine noise sound louder! Really...
