[table-of-contents] stripped

Overview

The Toyota 4Runner is among a short list of SUVs that still employ the traditional dynamics of rugged, off-road capability that is largely absent within the ever-growing list of crossover SUVs available today. The 4.0-liter V-6-powered 4Runner is a true go-anywhere vehicle that has an enthusiastic group of fans.

While it may be less modern in terms of specs than many SUVs, a solid case remains for adding a 4Runner to your driveway, particularly if you consider yourself an off-roading enthusiast.

The 4Runner most directly competes with other off-road capable SUVs such as the Jeep Wrangler and Ford Bronco though it isn't out of the question for someone to consider a 4Runner against more traditional mid-size SUV offerings like the Jeep Grand Cherokee or Honda Passport.

Within the Toyota lineup, the 4Runner is larger than the compact Rav4 but smaller than the 3-row Highlander.
