The ride can be jarring and floaty, and the cabin design is drab. This Toyota’s powertrain is poky and unrefined, and it delivers abysmal fuel economy. However, the 4Runner’s negatives could outweigh its positives for many shoppers. It also boasts welcoming seating, a long list of standard driver-assistance features and a straightforward infotainment system. It can venture where most midsize SUVs can't and comes in near the top of the class for cargo capacity. If off-roading is a priority, check out the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The interior is sparse but relatively comfortable, and the infotainment system is easy to use, though dated.īefore you settle on a 4Runner, I'd consider easier-to-drive midsize SUVs like the Hyundai Palisade or Mazda CX-9. I enjoyed it much more while traversing the mountainous roads of New York's Adirondack Park than I did driving along my local suburban streets. The 4Runner is definitely rough around the edges, with unwieldy handling and a strong but loud powertrain. I spent a week with the limited edition 40th Anniversary model, which aside from its admittedly cool '80s retro styling, is similar to the SR5 Premium trim. That's great if you're exploiting its impressive off-road chops or its massive cargo area (I found the power-sliding rear window particularly useful), but it's probably not what you want for your daily commute or as a family vehicle. While most of the 4Runner's classmates aim for a comfortable carlike ride, the 4Runner feels and drives more like a truck. He has a consumers-first view and strives to make the Best Car reviews as helpful and accurate as possible.
