Here’s a look at the three 2019 Toyota trucks unveiled at the 2018 Texas State Fair.

Toyota 4Runner Nightshade Special Edition

The new 2019 Toyota 4Runner Nightshade Special Edition is a near monochromatic beauty that changes in fierceness and in style depending on the strength of the sun.

At times, this 4Runner looks impossibly dark and brooding, a real imposing beast of a Toyota ride, but down a neighborhood street on a lazy Sunday afternoon, the 2019 4Runner Nightshade is simply a classy truck giving off a kind of elegance that might surprise onlookers.

The 2019 Toyota 4Runner Nightshade Special Edition is available in limited 4×2 or 4×4. For $1,740 on top of MSRP you can have the 2019 Toyota 4Runner Nightshade in Midnight Black Metallic, Magnetic Gray Metallic or Blizzard Pearl, each with a whole lot of black accents:

  • Black Outer Mirror
  • Black Door Handles
  • Black Window Moldings
  • Black Rocker Panels
  • Black Interior Trim (steering wheel, center cluster, shift knob, door grips)

…and a snazzy jet black exhaust pipe complete with the Toyota logo embossed in black.
