Redesigned Interior Offers Convenience and Comfort

A completely redesigned interior (below, right) and unique cargo area (below, center) make the newest 4Runner smarter, more comfortable, and more versatile than ever.

Optional third-row seats allow for up to seven-passenger seating.

A rich leather interior (below, left) is standard on the Limited grade and optional on SR5. The interior sports newly designed interior color schemes, using Black (Limited only), and Sand Beige. Graphite and Sand Beige fabric is standard on SR5 and Trail. Water-resistant fabric seats are standard equipment of Trail models.

The cargo area has been re-engineered to be more versatile than any SUV on the market. More cargo space is available due to the fold-flat second-row rear seats, which do not require removal of the headrest for rearrangement. For models with three rows of seats, the third row seats are split 50/50, and they readily fold flat to allow the seatback to become the floor of the luggage compartment. They can be folded from the side, or at the rear, using separate one-touch mechanisms. With this new arrangement, more cargo space is available without removing seats, and longer items can be conveniently stored.

Another convenience feature is an available pull-out cargo deck that is capable of carrying up to 440 pounds of weight. The cargo deck slides out to make loading heavy items easier. When extended, the sturdy cargo deck can also be used to provide seating, sheltered by the hatch, for tailgating and campsite relaxation. For models with the sliding deck, a 6.4-liter capacity storage box has been installed behind the rear seat, for handy storage of tools or other items.

Versatile Construction and Safety Features Enhance Driving Experience

More rugged than the Highlander and more versatile than the FJ Cruiser, the 4Runner's tough, durable body-on-frame construction is combined with a design that excels at a wide variety of tasks.
 
The new design emphasizes rugged outdoor adventure with large diameter wheels, new bumpers, wider shoulders, and a beefy square rear bumper.
 
Drivetrain configurations include rear wheel 4x2, part-time 4x4 and full-time multi-mode 4x4 with a locking center differential. All 4x4 models are equipped with a 4.0-liter V6 engine with five-speed ECT-i automatic transmission. The 4x2 models come with either a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine and four-speed ECT automatic, or 4.0-liter V6 with the five-speed ECT-i automatic.

To enhance grip, the A-TRAC system is now standard equipment on all 4x4 models. The system can distribute driving force to any one wheel in contact with the ground, making uneven terrain and slippery patches easier to navigate. An array of advanced features, formerly only available in the Land Cruiser, further boosts off-highway capabilities. The Trail grade offers Toyota's Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) as an option. Toyota's Crawl Control (CRAWL) feature is standard on the Trail grade. CRAWL is an adjustable electro-mechanical system that can be tuned to match the terrain by selecting any of five speed levels. The system maintains an appropriate speed that keeps the vehicle under control and minimizes the load on drivetrain and suspension.

EPA-estimated mileage improves from 16 city and 21 highway to 17 city/23 highway for the 4x2, and from 16 city and 20 highway to 17 city/22 highway for 4x4 models. Both achieve an EPA-estimated 19 mpg combined, an improvement of more than five percent. With the new 4.0-liter engine, maximum towing capacity is 5,000 pounds.

Standard on 4Runner is Toyota's Star Safety System?, which includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) with traction control (TRAC), an Anti-Lock Brake System with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist. The four-wheel ABS with EBD, and Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) are valuable safety features.

More than 1.8 million 4Runners have been sold since it was introduced in 1984.
