Toyota 4Runner

Offroad adventure ready 4x4 Toyota?

The Toyota 4Runner is quite popular among offroaders and has been since its introduction in 1984. The first 4Runner was a small SUV clearly just a Toyota Hilux pickup with a fiberglass shell to cover the bed. Through the years it has developed to be a decent size SUV with usable offroad capability.

Like many of the 4x4 Toyota's the the 4Runner is durable on and off the road.

Currently based on the FJ Cruiser platform with a solid rear axle, powerful 4.0 liter 270 hp engine and 278 pound-feet of torque it should serve nicely for most. Adding the "Trail" trim-package with the electric locking rear differential makes it pretty usable off the factory floor.

In some markets the 4Runner is known as: Toyota HiLux Surf.

The first generation Toyota 4Runner was little more than a HiLux pickup in a disguise. The older models where a considered too narrow and too low in horsepower. Still used by many offroaders as they were low cost and easy to lift and modify.
