First introduced for the model year, the N Toyota 4Runner aimed to maintain its predecessors' off-road capabilities while improving on occupant comfort, safety, and powertrains. Consequently, the 3rd-Gen Toyota 4Runner received greater differentiation from its closest relative the first Toyota Tacoma, employing a unique frame, rear suspension, and body, to give a more car-like driving experience.

There was also an upgrade to the available 4WD system, but the engines and gearboxes remained largely unchanged.

Many markets that did not receive the 4Runner, such as Europe and the Middle East, instead received the similarly designed Land Cruiser Prado , another SUV that shared many of the same components.
