How to Decide (with Video) Between 2020 Toyota 4Runner Limited vs Limited Nightshade

One of the most popular and beloved Toyota models of all time is 4Runner. People love it for its family spaciousness and versatility. Face it – there is a ton of room in Toyota 4Runner.

Owners also enjoy 4Runner for its off-road toughness. This body-on-frame design is built to withstand difficult trails and terrain. Some models like TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro provide tools such as crawl control and multi-terrain select to give drivers as much traction as possible when needed.

But what about the luxury side of things?

Recently I visited Spartan Toyota in Lansing, MI to find out just for myself. It was there that I met Sierra Tamez, one of the nicest and brightest salespeople you may ever meet. Sierra and I filmed a video comparing 2020 Toyota 4Runner Limited versus 4Runner Limited Nightshade for my Toyotajeff YouTube channel.

You get to decide your favorite from my included video review.

2020 4Runner Limited

With Toyota 4Runner, bringing the classy and luxurious flair means adding quite a bit of chrome accents to decorate the spacious exterior. You will find shiny 20-inch 6-spoke alloy wheels anchoring 4Runner.

Look for chrome highlights including door handles, Toyota symbol and lettering.

So now, what is your favorite? Did your opinion change after seeing them together?

2020 4Runner Limited Nightshade

Toyota added a Nightshade trim level to its powerful lineup as a “come to the dark side” alternative to its popular Limited grade.

Pretty much wherever you found bright chrome on the Limited, you will now find a darker black chrome. These blackish accents give your new 4Runner a distinct edge to it.

Also, the silver alloy wheels of the Limited have been replaced with glossy black 20-inch alloy wheels on Limited Nightshade.

Often a decision can be made between the two trims just by comparing wheels color and design.

You will find black accents including door handles, rocker panels, roof rails, mirrors, window moldings, garnishes and exhaust tip highlighting “the dark side” of 2020 4Runer Limited Nightshade.
