CG Says:
The Toyota 4Runner is the elder statesman of the mainstream-brand midsize SUV class, when it comes to each its age (its final full redesign was for the 2010 mannequin yr) and general design format. Whereas a lot of the midsize SUV class has transitioned to a car-like unibody structure over the past decade or so, the 4Runner sticks with truck-style body-on-frame structure. This makes for a sturdier construction that’s useful for off-roading and towing. Nonetheless, that construction is heavier and extra cumbersome than unibody structure, and it introduces compromises in gasoline economic system, experience consolation, passenger ergonomics, and cabin-space effectivity.
However within the eyes of its many followers, the 4Runner wears its age properly. These consumers worth its no-nonsense, old-school picture; its rough-and-ready capabilities; and its Toyota construct high quality and fame for reliability. The 4Runner’s outdated management interface, shortcomings in dealing with and experience consolation, and subpar gasoline economic system aren’t deal-breakers for these house owners.
The 4Runner sees no main updates for 2022. All fashions get LED high-beam headlights and Rear Occupant Alert (a characteristic that reminds drivers to verify the rear seat for a kid or pet earlier than exiting the car), and the lineup positive factors a TRD Sport model—a “road-tuned” mannequin that slots in above the entry-level SR5 trim and comes commonplace with options similar to an adaptive-damper suspension for higher on-road dealing with, “SofTex” fake leather-based upholstery, a hood scoop, and 20-inch machine-faced alloy wheels instead of the SR5’s 17-inch wheels. The TRD Sport’s particular trim touches embody color-keyed accents on the grille and rocker panels, a TRD shift knob, grey distinction stitching on the seats, and grey stitched TRD logos on the front-seat headrests.
Basically, the TRD Sport goals to ship a little bit of the delicate look and angle of the upscale 4Runner Restricted mannequin at a cheaper price level, by foregoing a number of of the Restricted’s high-end options. You may verify our earlier test-drive critiques of a 4Runner Restricted, TRD Off-Highway, and TRD Professional fashions for extra info. The TRD Sport’s suspension could make it a shade extra comfy on the road than different 4Runners (save for the Restricted, which additionally has adaptive suspension), however any crossover-style midsize SUV will supply higher cornering capabilities and all-around on-road composure.
A redesigned 4Runner—based mostly on a downsized model of the platform used on the redesigned-for-2022 Toyota Tundra and the 2023 Toyota Sequoia—is within the works, and it might debut for 2023 or 2024. The redesigned 4Runner ought to share its platform with the next-generation Toyota Tacoma pickup truck which could additionally debut for 2023.
