When is the best time to sell a used Toyota 4Runner?
Sell your 2022 Toyota 4Runner now in early 2026. Kelley Blue Book data shows it holds a strong resale value of $29,700 today. That's after a total drop of $9,688 or 24% over three years from its original price. Waiting risks faster value loss as forecasts predict more depreciation ahead.
Here's what you need to know
Toyota 4Runners depreciate slower than most SUVs. They keep about 70-75% of value after three years. Your 2022 model proves this point.
