Toyota 4Runner

Japanese off-roader vehicle

The Toyota 4Runner is a mid-size sport utility vehicle manufactured by Toyota since 1984, known for rugged off-road capability and reliability.

Unlike many modern SUVs that share platforms with sedans, the 4Runner maintains traditional body-on-frame construction favored by off-road enthusiasts: The 4Runner handled the trail better than any crossover could.

It occupies a niche between daily driver and serious trail vehicle.
