If you’ve got people to haul and adventures to have, there are plenty of reasons why you’ll love driving the Toyota 4Runner. It offers everything you could want from a sporty SUV, including a capable performance, roomy cabin and cargo hold, and high-tech connectivity features. Here are four reasons you’ll love driving a Toyota 4Runner.
1. Road-Trip-Friendly Features
Ready to pack up the entire family and head out on a memory-making quest? The Toyota 4Runner is equally prepared, with roomy seating and a cavernous cargo hold. The SR5 and Limited trim models come standard with seating for up to seven passengers. The other 4Runner trim models offer seating for five.
The cargo hold is ready for all of your weekend bags and camping gear, with up to 47.2 cubic feet behind the rear seats. Fold the rear seats down, and you can even roll out a couple of sleeping bags in the 4Runner’s 89.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo space.
2. Off-Road Adventure
With its powerful V-6 and capable performance, the 2020 Toyota 4Runner is ready for action. Every trim model features the same engine: a 4.0-liter V-6 that makes 270 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque. The SR5 and Limited trims are available two-wheel drive, but all other 4Runner trim models come standard with trail-ready four-wheel drive.
More than just traction-boosting performance, gear, though, the 4Runner comes standard with an impressive range of performance features. Skid plates protect this SUV’s undercarriage from the elements. Foglights cut through the gloom when you’re traveling off-grid. The trick power-sliding rear window gives your road trips an extra-rugged feel.
The TRD Off-Road trim model adds even more trail-ready features. The locking rear differential increases precision on rocky or otherwise complicated terrain. Use the Multi-Terrain Select settings for enhanced performance in different off-road settings. If you’ve got mountains to scale, the crawl control function comes in handy.
3. All the Latest in Smartphone Connectivity
These days, you can’t escape your smartphone — and you probably don’t even want to. Luckily, the 4Runner makes it easy to stay safely connected. New for 2020, a cutting-edge infotainment system includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration. Use these features to access smartphone apps from the 4Runner’s central touch screen. You can even press a button on the steering wheel and call up your phone’s sophisticated voice controls, making it even easier to stay focused on the road ahead.
4. Safety Comes Standard
Every Toyota 4Runner trim model comes standard with the Toyota Safety Sense bundle of safety aids. The pre-collision system with pedestrian detection has the potential to pull you up short of danger.
Other standard features include lane departure warning and automatic high beams. The adaptive cruise control system automatically adjusts your speed according to traffic flow, helping you remain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you.
The Toyota 4Runner is an excellent choice for a wide range of drivers, especially those who crave off-road performance and a family-friendly cabin. But this SUV also puts a major emphasis on technology, giving you all the latest in infotainment and safety aids. You’ll love driving the 4Runner because it’s the total package.
