To start your 2012 Toyota 4Runner would need to have a roof rack for the cargo box to mount to. If your 4Runner doesn;t currently have a roof rack then I recommend the 2012 Toyota 4Runner Roof Rack by Yakima which includes the following parts:

Yakima CoreBar Crossbars - Steel - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2 # Y00422.
TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 # Y33TR.

These crossbars combine the strength of steel with an aerodynamic shape to create a heavy-duty yet quiet roof rack for your vehicle. The full-length bars maximize cargo carrying capacity and work with most clamp-on accessories, like the Yakima GrandTour Rooftop Cargo Box # YA74FR you were looking at.

This premium roof box mounts to your crossbars, mentioned above, with quick-release clamps. The locking lid opens from either side of your vehicle for easy access and more versatility. Quick-release clamps provide easy, tool-free installation or removal of the cargo box. This box has an interior dimension of 79" x 35" x 18" for a total of 16 cubic feet of space for hauling your items.

It features SKS locks on each side of the lid that are designed to not allow you to remove the key unless the lid is closed and locked to prevent you from driving with an open or unlocked lid.

I've included some videos below that will offer some additional information and walk you through the installation of these products.
