2019 Toyota 4Runner Interior 

 

Off-Road Excellence

The Toyota 4Runner is begging to be let loose on the trails, with several standard and available features that can make navigating even the toughest terrain easy. As its name implies, it offers available four-wheel drive (4WD)—two different versions, in fact.

With power delivery to all four wheels, you can count on excellent traction on uneven terrain. A dynamic suspension and Crawl Control will also help optimize your grip on the ground. Plus, Multi-Terrain Select lets you customize driving dynamics to the type of terrain under your wheels.

The Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro offers even more impressive capability. With TRD FOX® high-performance shocks, TRD-tuned front springs, and special skid plates, this trim level is ready to take on even the harshest, most unforgiving terrain.

Versatility: Cargo & Storage Considerations  

When you have a lot of gear to bring along for the ride, the Toyota 4Runner is an eminently capable SUV. Fold the second and optional third rows, and you’ll have nearly 89 cubic feet of space at your disposal. If you need room for bikes, camping gear, or other adventure items, you’ll find it here.

The Toyota 4Runner offers several features in the cargo area for your convenience. They include:

• Sliding Rear Cargo Deck, supporting up to 440 pounds and helping you reach your gear easier.
• Power Rear Glass, so you can grab your gear from cargo area without opening the liftgate.
• 120V A/C Power Outlet, helping you keep your essential technology charged and ready to go.

All-Star SUV Performance Specifications

The Toyota 4Runner offers just one powertrain, and it’s potent enough to power you forward in any situation. This SUV comes equipped with a 4.0L V6 engine mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission.

You’ll see up to 270 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque from the combination, so you can pull away from a stop or overtake slower vehicles with gusto.

Unlike many SUVs today, the Toyota 4Runner still uses a body-on-frame construction. This truck-based platform leads to truck-like handling, and test drivers have found the steering light and precise enough to maneuver the 4Runner with ease.
