Yes, the reason is SUPPLY. There are tens of thousands of T-Blazers that flood the market from rental fleets and off-lease. You can rent one at any major airport. Very few 4Runners are in the rental fleet, and not as many from lease either.
Supply is huge and that is one side of the equation. Demand isn't as high, so the price dips. Simple economics.
Demand is watered down by more huge supplies of alternatives like Grand Cherokees and Explorers. Trailblazer buyers aren't as loyal as 4Runner buyers (4Runners have been around since 1984, the T-Blazer since 2002). Many Trailblazer buyers would also consider a larger Tahoe. Also, quite a few domestic-loyal SUV buyers were put off by the inline six.
