If you prefer taking the road less traveled, you need to take a look at the new 2021 Toyota 4Runner. Wherever your adventurous spirit leads, the 4Runner will be there to take you beyond the pavement and into the wilderness. This mid-sized SUV is an off-road model that, like fine wine, only gets better with age.

 

A Close Look at the 2021 Toyota 4Runner 

 

Rugged Engine Specs

All 4Runners are powered by a 4.0 liter, V-6 engine with a five-speed automatic transmission. This is paired with either rear-wheel, four-wheel, or all-wheel drive options. Toyota has brought back the big rugged frame, combined with excellent torque to beat out the competition in towing capacity. Its 5,000-pound capacity is top of the market compared to all other mid-sized SUVs.

The strong reliability ratings and off-road mastery prove that no other SUV can do what the 4Runner can when it comes to off-roading. These features do come with a fuel efficiency trade-off. Although the 2021 EPA figures have not yet been released, the 4Runner is expected to remain consistent with the 2020 model at a meager 16 miles per gallon in the city and 19 miles per gallon on the highway.

 

Pricing Options And Best Value

The Toyota 4 Runner comes in seven different trims options that range in price from $37,015 up to $51,675. The TRD Off-Road model at $41,840 fits the category of ‘best value’. It comes with four-wheel drive, off-road hardware, and many other features found on the TRD Pro but with a significantly lower price tag.  The TRD Off-Road edition checks all the boxes on rugged features and affordability.

 

What’s New In 2021?

With the 4Runner, Toyota has stood behind the adage, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. They did add the new Trail Special Edition to their suite of trim options, and LED headlights are now standard on all vehicles, but most other features have stayed the same. The updated boxier, blocky body style has been a welcome throwback to the 4Runner’s truck roots. The new bold colors also make this model stand out and demands to be noticed.

 

Unique Features

The 4Runner’s versatile interior comes with the option of a third-row seat, but when used in its two-row form it delivers above-average cargo space. The liftgate power window is another feature, unique in the field, that allows for better transport of longer items like skis or paddleboards. And the sliding cargo floor comes in handy when tailgating or loading in heavy objects.
