After a redesign in 2010, the Toyota 4Runner returns with no changes and continues in SR5, Trail, and Limited trims (Toyota has dropped the 4-cylinder engine from the SR5 2WD). First introduced in 1984, the ever popular 4Runner is on its 5th generation design, and has seen more than 1.5 million vehicles sold. The new generation 4Runner is overall larger than the previous model and is powered by a 4.0L V6 engine which produces 270 horsepower and utilizes variable valve timing technology for improved fuel efficiency. Trail models feature distinctive dark smoke treatments on the headlights and tail lamps, and come equipped more appropriately for off-road performance. The Limited and SR5 trims add exterior chrome treatments, front bumper moldings and fender flares for an aggressive appearance.
