Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement for 2010-22 Toyota 4Runner, so installation matches original mounting points and reduces hassle.

Who It's For

This lift support is best for Toyota 4Runner owners from model years 2010 through 2022 who need a like-for-like replacement for a failing liftgate strut and prefer a component that installs without modification. DIYers who want a straightforward swap using the original ball-socket mounts will value the fit and the common reference numbers.
