Performance
Motivating your exploration in the 2023 Toyota 4Runner is the 4.0-liter V6 that puts out 270 horsepower and 278 lb.-ft. of torque. Available full-time 4WD maximizes your traction on any surface by automatically diverting power to whatever wheel needs it most. Don't forget to bring along your camper or trailer because this SUV tows up to 5,000 lbs. The available Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System automatically decouples the sway bars as needed to optimize articulation over rough terrain.
The available Electronic Locking Rear Differential sends engine power evenly to both rear wheels, prompting them to roll at the same speed. Use the Multi-Terrain Select dial to define engine throttle and traction control with four modes. You'll be able to view the obstacles in your path with the Multi-Terrain Monitor, which relies on cameras positioned around the vehicle.
Interior
Depending on the trim level you choose, your seats can be upholstered in durable SofTex® or luxurious leather. Heating and ventilation that are built into the seats keep you cozy during all seasons. When you want to bring in views of the sky and more air, power-open the tilt-and-slide moonroof. The Power Rear Window goes up and down with the push of a button to ease loading and unloading.
Although this SUV typically accommodates five passengers, you can add an optional third row to boost capacity to seven people. Fold down the 50/50-split third row and the 40/20/40 second row, and the cargo room expands to 88.8 cu. ft. When you need to power equipment, such as camping lights or power tools, you can plug it into the 120-volt AC power outlet in the cargo area.
