2013 Toyota 4Runner Review Pictures
The 2013
Toyota 4Runner is a 4-door, up to 7-passenger luxury sport-utility,
or sport-utility, available in 6 trims, ranging from the SR5 4X2 to
the Limited 4X4. Its closest competitors include the Acura MDX, the
Isuzu Rodeo, and the Volvo XC90. The 4Runner has grown up. The all-new
Toyota 4Runner is bigger, smoother, and more comfortable than last
year's model. If you want serious offroad capability with Toyota quality,
durability, and reliability, then the new 4Runner is an excellent
choice. It is loaded with the latest offroad electronic technology.
Electronic traction control and Downhill Assist Control improve capability
off road, while other features improve comfort and handling on the
highway. Yet the new 4Runner is built on a rugged ladder frame and
uses a live rear axle, a design considered dated as many SUVs move
toward unit-body construction and independent rear suspensions.
Upon introduction, the SR5 4X2 is equipped with a standard 4.0-liter,
V6, 245-horsepower engine that achieves 18-mpg in the city and 21-mpg
on the highway. The Limited 4X4 is equipped with a standard 4.0-liter,
V6, 245-horsepower engine that achieves 17-mpg in the city and 21-mpg
on the highway. A 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is
standard on both trims. The 2013 4Runner is a carryover from 2003.
The 4Runner has grown up. Toyota felt this design offered better offroad
capability. The new 4Runner is much larger and roomier than last year's
model and ride quality has been greatly improved. 4Runner and you
have a comfortable, well-equipped, highly capable SUV that can get
things done. New Toyota 4Runner V6 delivers more power than last year's
engine for exceptionally good acceleration performance. And a V8 is
also available for the 4Runner for the first time. The V8, an option
for all models, delivers better acceleration than the V6 when fully
loaded, but you won't need it unless you plan to do a lot of towing.
