And back again in this aging but still highly functional SUV.
The 40th Anniversary 4Runner rides on 265/70 R17 Bridgestone Dueler H/T tires built for quiet comfort on the pavement. If you’re planning to go off road, as you should, you might want to step up to an A/T, R/T or even an M/T tire.You might have some stories of adventure in the wilds with a 4Runner. Share them in the comments below. I have always appreciated the 4R, especially during my offroad-every-weekend phase a few years ago.
There are a few minor drawbacks to an 11-year-old model that you forget are there if you drive modern cars all the time: Visibility felt to me a little lacking, especially over the driver’s left and right shoulders, resulting in at least one close-call lane change; the headlights don’t go on automatically; the rear axle is rigid, not independent; and there is no crawl control except that which is available through the gearing.
And while we were at altitude for most of this trip, I’d also like more power and torque than the 270 hp and 278 lb-ft output of the 4Runner’s 4.0-liter naturally aspirated V6, something you can’t really address unless you want to go to the aftermarket. I actually tried using premium fuel on one tankful just to see if it made a difference. I don’t think it did.
The next 4Runner likely won’t be out until at least the 2024 model year, when it may or may not get the 2.4-liter turbo-four now offered in the Lexus NX. That engine delivers 275 hp and 318 lb-ft of torque in its current application, a 40-lb-ft increase over the current model, enough to erase my whining.
