Find out more about the Toyota 4 Runner

The Toyota 4Runner is not like most of the other mid-size crossovers and SUVs that line the streets and fill suburban driveways. That’s because the 4Runner is more old-school truck than new-age car: it has a pickup-truck chassis and true off-road capabilities. It boasts increased underbody protection, an electronic locking rear axle, updated suspension components, and knobby tyres in its most competent configuration. Every model includes a 270-hp V-6 engine and an automated transmission, as well as rear- or four-wheel drive. However, its powerplant is obsolete when compared to those powering body-on-frame competitors like the Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler. The Toyota’s 4.0-liter engine is dependable, but it also wastes fuel at an alarming pace. The interior of the truck is spacious for passengers and luggage, although the cabin materials are drab. On normal roads, this truck-based SUV drives like, well, a truck: the handling is sloppy, and the ride is rough. The 4Runner can travel places that many of its peers cannot, but it is plainly archaic outside of those limited-use instances. Here’s all you need to know about 4Runner cargo liner.

Cargo, Interior, and Comfort

The inside of the 4Runner isn’t exactly cutting-edge, with switchgear that seems like it came from the past millennium. Despite its lacklustre materials and appearance, it manages to comfortably accommodate human’s front and rear despite its back-of-the-class interior dimensions. The 4Runner is a versatile carrier as well as a rock-crawler, thanks to a flexible cargo compartment and three spacious, deep cubbies in the front row.

Real-World MPG and Fuel Economy

At the pump, the 4Runner’s engine options reflect their age, with each model rated at a paltry 16 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the motorway. In comparison, the V-6-powered Wrangler gets up to 19 mpg in the city and 24 on the motorway. The most recent 4Runner cargo liner, tested on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, which is part of our thorough testing procedure, exceeded expectations with 22 mpg.

Connection and infotainment

Every 4Runner comes standard with an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system. There are physical buttons as well as rotating volume and tuning knobs on the interface. Android Auto and a subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot are basic features. Upgrades include a built-in navigation system and a 15-speaker JBL audio system.
