A 2024 Toyota 4Runner driving down a picturesque road near Pleasant Hills, PA

If you are looking for an overlanding-ready SUV or are simply in the market for a pocket-friendly and ultra-durable mid-sized SUV with rugged old-school looks, exceptional off-roading capabilities, and tons of space, the 2024 Toyota 4Runner is arguably the best pick you can go with today. Featuring a robust powertrain, rugged capabilities, and unmatched interior comfort, the Toyota 4Runner is in a short list of vehicles that can effortlessly meet the needs of both adventure seekers and those looking for a dependable daily driver.

Powerful Engine and Performance

The Toyota 4Runner is equipped with a hefty 4.0-liter V6 that generates up to 270 HP and 278 lb-ft of torque, allowing it to boast impressive numbers such as a 7-second zero to 60 time, which is ridiculously fast for a 6,000-pound vehicle, and a whopping 5,000-pound towing capacity to allow you to bring your trailer or boat along for added thrills.

Despite its size, the 4Runner is remarkably easy and fun to handle thanks to a smooth-shifting 5-speed automatic transmission that is complemented by a precise and nicely weighted speed-sensing, power-assisted, rack-and-pinion steering system that allows this burly truck the maneuverability of a much smaller vehicle. And thanks to the comfort-tuned double wishbone suspension, the 4Runner’s passengers are treated to a soft and comfortable ride.

Exceptional Off-Roader

The 4Runner is one of the rare family-friendly SUVs that can keep up with Wranglers on the toughest trails thanks to its exceptionally hardy design consisting of a reinforced body-on-frame construction that allows it to bend and twist without fear of breaking and a nearly 10-inch ground clearance.

Moreover, with the available 4WD system with low-range gearing for tremendous torque, a locking rear differential for next-level traction, and a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension for improved wheel articulation, the 4Runner is at home crawling over rocks or making its way through slippery, muddy trails.

Spacious and Comfy Interior

With nearly 100 cubic feet of passenger volume, the 4Runner is so roomy that some models come with a third row to meet the needs of larger families. Cargo space is more than abundant, with 46 cubes behind the rear seat and nearly 90 cubic feet with the rear seat(s) down, explaining why overlanding enthusiasts love it so much. What’s more, you can even get a pull-out cargo deck with a 440-pound weight capacity for easy loading of heavy luggage.

Comfort is assured inside the 4Runner thanks to upper-class amenities such as available leather upholstery, heated and ventilated power seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a sunroof, and a premium 15-speaker JBL surround-sound system. You also get an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Sirius XM connectivity to keep you entertained and connected during your adventures.
