2022 Toyota 4Runner
10 factory colors were offered on the Fifth generation (N280) 4Runner. Your code is on the driver's door jamb sticker on the line marked C/TR — the characters before the slash.
Changes from 2021:
- Added for 2022: Lime Rush (5C3)
- Dropped after 2021: Cement (1H5)
Verified against 2 independent sources: 2022 Toyota 4Runner official brochure (dealer CDN mirror): https://cdn.dealereprocess.org/cdn/brochures/toyota/2022-4runner.pdf — 4Runner Colors & Trims page lists Midnight Black Metallic, Nautical Blue Metallic, Army Green, Lunar Rock, Lime Rush, Barcelona Red Metallic, Magnetic Gray Metallic, Classic Silver Metallic, Blizzard Pearl, Super White; PaintRef Toyota cross-reference, 2022 4Runner: https://www.paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?year=2022&make=Toyota&model=4Runner&rows=100 — returns exactly these 10 codes, giving Lime Rush as 5C3.
Lime Rush 5C3 is the new TRD Pro exclusive — a 4Runner-only paint, distinct from the Tacoma's Electric Lime Metallic 588. Lunar Rock 6X3 loses its TRD Pro restriction and reaches TRD Off-Road Premium and SR5 Premium. Cement 1H5 is dropped again. A TRD Sport grade is added but brings no new color.
Where to find your paint code
Driver's door jamb (B-pillar), on the white or silver build sticker, on the row labelled C/TR.
Driver's door jamb
- Open the driver's door and look at the B-pillar at roughly latch height.
- Find the row labelled C/TR on the printed sticker.
- The three characters before the slash are the paint code.
- The characters after the slash are the interior trim code, not paint.
If the sticker is missing or faded
- Call any Toyota dealer parts desk with your VIN. They can read the code off the build record, usually in under a minute and at no cost.
- Genuine Toyota touch-up part numbers embed the paint code — part 00258-004X0-21 is code 4X0.
Other 4Runner years
Color availability changed year to year. Codes often carried over; names sometimes did not.
