2013 Toyota 4Runner – A Powerful SUV

Toyota 4Runner is one of Toyota premium cars with a grand exterior. The New Toyota comes with rear- wheel drive and two four-wheel drive types. The new SUV is fitted with three rows of seats and will compete with Jeep Grand Cherokee. The New Toyota 4Runner is designed with no enhanced modifications. The original Toyota 4Runner displays a modern and sophisticated exterior; hence the New Toyota 4Runner would not have required a new makeover.

The exterior is designed with a squared -off nose design and wrinkled headlights similar to the design in Toyota’s Sequoia SUV and Tundra pickup truck. The lift gate has a power window. The other standard exterior features are; 17 inch alloy wheel, roof rails, optional 20 inch wheels, optional power-extending running boards and optional moon roof.

The car is fitted with equally grand interior features; the dashboard design is similar to that of Toyota’s Land Cruiser SUV with a bulky gated shifter. The third row seats have the capacity to accommodate seven people. The highlight of the grand interiors is the optional sliding rear cargo deck which can extend beyond the rear bumper to form a table or seat. This is an ideal feature for long distance travel, where families or friends can actually have a picnic in the car. What is more interesting is the rear cargo deck can hold a massive weight of 440 pounds. The other standard interior features are CD stereo with iPod connectivity and Bluetooth audio steering, optional Entune multimedia system, optional water resistant cloth seats, optional navigation system and backup camera, optional dual-zone automatic climate control, and optional leather upholstery.

The Toyota 4Runner is fitted with a very powerful 4.0-litre V6 engine attached to a five-speed automatic transmission engine, churning an impressive energy of 270 Bhp. The large dimensional exterior built with quality engineering contributes to the 5000 pound towing capacity of the car. The car is fitted with skid plates, front suspension, transfer case for four-wheel drive options and gas tank.

The New Toyota 4Runner comes with quality safety features with locking centre and rear differentials and a terrain selection system which enables flexible driving in off-road conditions.  The Crawl mode ensures the vehicle to move at a slow pace, so that the driver can easily maneuver in tight road conditions without accelerating the gas pedal. The A-TRACK traction control system distributes power to any wheel when the other wheels skid. The Hill descent control enables the 4Runner through off-road terrain, without the need to focus on speed. There is an optional disconnecting bar stabilizer system to provide a good balance to the car on extreme off-road situations. The car is fitted with optional adaptive shock absorbers which automatically adjust to different road conditions. The other standard safety features are eight airbags, antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability system and rear parking sensors.

The Toyota 4Runner is one of Toyota’s premium models, contributed by the high-end safety features. The large dimensional exterior with the state-of-the art safety features of the 4Runner makes this model an ideal family car.
