Yes, there are decals made specifically for the new Toyota 4Runner. The sixth generation 4Runner, which arrived for the 2025 model year, takes two kinds of vinyl: Gen 6 specific graphics cut to match its body lines, like two piece rocker panel decals and rear quarter window designs patterned for the new wraparound glass, and universal die-cut transfer decals that mount on any smooth panel. Gen 6 rear quarter window decals run $64.99, rocker panel sets are $79.99, and universal transfer decals start around $10.99. With twelve nearly identical trims rolling off dealer lots, a $65 window graphic is the fastest way to make your 4Runner the one people remember in a parking lot full of them.

What decals fit a Toyota 4Runner?
Two categories cover nearly everything. The first is Gen 6 specific: graphics cut for the 2025 and newer body. Rocker panel decals come as a matched two-piece set sized for the sixth generation's lower body line, and rear quarter window decals match the exact shape of the Gen 6's rear side glass, so the design fills the window the way a factory graphic would.
The second category is universal die-cut vinyl. The 4Runner's hood, doors, fenders, tailgate, and glass are smooth surfaces, so the same transfer decals and printed stickers that mount on a Wrangler or Bronco go on a 4Runner without trimming. That matters if you drive a 3rd, 4th, or 5th gen: the model-specific pieces are cut for 2025 and newer, but universal designs fit every generation back to the 1984 original. Just check the listed dimensions against your panel before ordering.
Why is now the time to personalize a 4Runner?
The sixth generation 4Runner finally replaced the longest-running generation in the nameplate's history, and buyers have responded. For 2026, the lineup spans twelve trims, from the $42,070 SR5 to the $68,400 TRD Pro, with a 278 horsepower turbo four standard and a 326 horsepower i-FORCE MAX hybrid on the upper trims.
Here is the catch: twelve trims built on the same silhouette mean trailheads and school pickup lines are filling up with 4Runners that look alike. Toyota will sell you bronze wheels on a Trailhunter for $68,200. A set of vinyl graphics gets you a rig nobody else has for about one percent of that.
If you want a full side graphic, the rocker set below is cut for the 2025 and newer body and installs along the lower doors, where road debris does its worst. The vinyl takes the stone chips so your paint does not.

What are rear quarter window decals for the Gen 6?
The sixth-generation 4Runner's rear quarter glass is one of its signature design elements, a long panel of privacy glass behind the rear doors. It is also a blank canvas. Rear quarter window decals are vinyl graphics cut to that exact window shape, applied to the outside of the glass, so the design reads like it came from the factory instead of a sticker slapped on at an angle.
Because the panel is glass rather than paint, it is the lowest-risk place on the whole vehicle to start customizing. The current Gen 6 lineup includes more than a dozen designs, from honeycomb mesh and Japanese tidal waves to American flags, leopard print, hibiscus flowers, and dog paws.

Which 4Runner decal should you buy?
Here is how the main options compare on price, install difficulty, and what each one does best:
| Decal type | Where it goes | Fits | Typical price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rocker panel set (2-piece) | Lower body, both sides | Gen 6, 2025 and newer | $79.99 | The biggest visual change, plus chip protection |
| Rear quarter window decal | Rear side glass | Gen 6, 2025 and newer | $64.99 | A factory-style look with zero paint contact |
| Universal transfer decal | Hood, doors, fenders, tailgate | Every 4Runner generation | $10.99 to $30 | Personality on a budget, any model year |
| Printed laminated sticker | Glass, bumper, body | Every 4Runner generation | $5 to $20 | Full color designs and quick wins |
If you drive a 2025 or newer, start with a rear quarter window decal: it is the signature Gen 6 panel, it installs on glass, and it costs less than a tank and a half of premium in an i-FORCE MAX. If you drive an older generation, browse the universal transfer decal collection, where every design mounts on any smooth panel from a 1984 first gen to a 2024 fifth gen.
Paw prints trail across the rear glass, right where your dog rides. The cargo area was always theirs anyway.
How do you install decals on a 4Runner?
Window decals and die-cut vinyl install the same way on a 4Runner as on any vehicle, and the Gen 6's flat rear quarter glass makes it one of the easier jobs out there. Five steps:
- Clean the surface. Wash the glass or panel, then wipe it with isopropyl alcohol to remove wax, rail dust, and detail spray residue.
- Dry fit with masking tape. Tape the decal in place and step back ten feet to check position before anything sticks.
- Work from one edge. Peel the backing gradually and squeegee from the center outward, pushing air ahead of the vinyl.
- Peel the transfer tape slowly. Pull it back against itself at a sharp angle, not straight up, so the vinyl stays on the glass.
- Let it cure. Wait 24 to 48 hours before washing, and keep pressure washer wands away from the edges for the first week.
Working in cool fall weather? Install in a garage if you can, since vinyl adhesive bonds best above roughly 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Our guide to wet versus dry application walks through both methods, and if you are planning a bigger build, see how overlanders carry a full-size spare on a 4Runner.
Frequently asked questions
Do decals fit the 2025 Toyota 4Runner?
Yes. The 2025 model launched the sixth-generation body, and Gen 6-specific decals are cut for it, including two-piece rocker panel sets and rear quarter window graphics shaped to the new rear glass. Universal die-cut transfer decals also fit the 2025.
Will these decals fit a 3rd, 4th, or 5th gen 4Runner?
Universal transfer decals and printed stickers fit every 4Runner generation, since they mount on any smooth paint or glass. Gen 6 specific pieces, like the rear quarter window designs and rocker sets, are cut for the 2025 and newer body and will not match older glass and panel shapes.
Will vinyl decals damage my 4Runner's paint?
No. Quality exterior vinyl actually shields the paint beneath it from stone chips and UV fade while installed. Remove it with gentle heat and a slow peel, and the paint comes out fine, often looking fresher than the surrounding panel.
Can I put a decal on the 4Runner's tinted rear windows?
Yes. Window decals apply to the outside surface of the glass, so they don't affect the factory privacy tint, which is embedded in the glass itself. Dark tint actually makes light and white vinyl designs stand out more.
How long do vinyl decals last outdoors?
Quality exterior-grade vinyl typically lasts 5 or more years outside. Laminated graphics and darker colors resist fading the longest, and parking in the shade or hand washing around the edges extends their life further.
