The writer spent days in the harsh sandy terrains of Sahara driving 4Runner on stretches of sand. It is baffling to move inches to inches between camels and windy sand. The person was not perplexed at all and just drive past and dint feel even a bit of uneasiness when the car tilted at an angle of 33 degrees. The 2014 4Runner has skid plates it protects the fuel tank, front suspension and engine. Its power wonder is contributed by back coil spring rear suspension and 4 link independent double wishbone.

The back wheels operate at the same speed, irrespective of whether it is pressed to the ground or not. The output is so dynamic that it can spearhead through any obstacle that comes your way.
Driving in the desert can be a little or too scary, but in the 2014 4Runner you probably can lead a city life in the desert. The person who drove the car said; why not use the music system, connectivity and navigation. The world class Entune Premium Audio with App Suite and navigation together has 6.1 inch high resolution touch screen display with MP3 or WMA playback, CD player and integrated backup camera display. The music system has six speakers, to connect to the lonely desert world; there is a high-end Sirius XM Satellite radio with ninety day access trial.

The visibility effect of the rear glass is superb; you can see everything at the back from miles away. The new 4Runner has a solid cargo tray that can take heft weights that stretch to 470 pounds. It has sliding facilities and can be opened with just the press of a button. The cargo tray is a boon to carry all kinds of items required for a fun-filled camp adventure. The engine can carry any weight tucked into it that extends to a mind blowing 4,700 pounds.
The new 4Runer is equipped with a super efficient V6 4 litre 24 valve DOHC engine engineered with the advanced dual variable valve timing technology. The fiery engine pumps out 270hp and is admirable fuel efficient, you can comfortably drive on the highway with fuel consumption rate of 21mpg and on the cities it is 18mpg.
The 4Runner has the perfect off-terrain identity, and offers the best possible security with passenger and driver advanced airbag system that offers protection to the side, knee, abdomen and thorax. There is also a tire pressure monitor system, rear side curtains and front roll sensing. There are headrests in passenger and driver compartment, the headrests are fitted in a way to protect the body from all angles. It was on the whole a magnificent desert encounter.
