In fact, 4Runners have become the favorite of those who venture far from where the pavement ends, due to their ability to conquer mountains, deserts, swamps and other inhospitable environments that would demolish most vehicles. While most of them never venture off the pavement, it’s nice to know they can. The new generation features rugged looks and an options list that can take it from bare-bones 2-wheel-drive models to uber luxurious 4-wheel-drive packages. The base model is powered by a turbocharged 4-cylinder, 278 hp engine, with a hybrid, 24 mpg, model packing a 326 hp powerplant as an an available option. The interior accommodates 5 full-grown adults in comfort, with a cavernous cargo ready for groceries, golf clubs, luggage, or even a tuba. The extensive options list allows owners to create their own version of perfection; Toyota.com.
