The 2020 Toyota 4Runner is one of our top picks for SUVs this upcoming year and our number one pick for off-road-ready vehicles. This model has long been known as one of the toughest and most reliable SUVs on the market, and the 2020 incarnation just stepped up its own game. Here are the top reasons we think you’ll love the 2020 4Runner:
Off-Road Capability
If you’re looking for an SUV that can handle its own when it comes to off-roading, the 2020 4Runner is the one for you. It’s loaded with performance features that many other SUVs lack.
You have the option between two four-wheel-drive systems that let you take on rough terrain like the best of them. For the best rock-crawling drivetrain, opt for the TRD Pro trim. Active traction control and the limited-slip locking center differential give you the best grip on the road, paved or otherwise. The TRD Pro 4Runner will also feature sway bars, FOX shocks, and a lifted suspension to better forge its own paths.
Even if you’re sticking to the city streets, these four-wheel-drive systems are a game-changer, especially if you live in a place that experiences a lot of bad weather.
Tough Style
The 2020 4Runner has a personality that isn’t afraid to let other vehicles know how tough it is. The bulky exterior is muscled and looks ready to take on the great outdoors. From the multi-tiered grille and front fascia to the proud hatch-style rear door, the new 4Runner is ready for adventure when you are.
Raw Power
The 2020 4Runner will come standard with V-6 power. Its 4.0-liter engine is designed to use every ounce of its 270 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque to give you a worthy driving experience. This engine is paired with a five-speed automatic transmission that offers you a smooth shift. With this much muscle, it’s easy to gun it on highways and strong-arm your way through rocky roads.
Updated Tech
One of the major turnoffs for us when it came to previous years’ models was the multimedia technology. But this year, Toyota has pulled out all the stops. The new dashboard-mounted touch-screen is compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so all smartphone users will be able to use many of their favorite features directly through their 4Runner. This includes music streaming, directions, and phone calls.
Driver-Assist Systems
The 2020 4Runner will come with more access to more driver-assist features than it ever has. The Toyota Safety Sense suite that was once optional is now standard. It includes features such as automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot assist, and lane departure warning. These technologies improve the way you drive by raising awareness of the road around you, no matter how high your skill level.
