4runner was discontinued in many markets....The best one was the 2006 3.0 turbo diesel. Why they did it? because it was a really great car, a car from the real "Toyota = The Best" era. Now they introduced a PIECE OF SHIT called Fortuner. A cheap overpriced SUV based on the Hilux platform. Is that confortable?? NO WAY, JOSE!! At least US Market can still enjoy the 4runner, however I dont like the new one that much....and Gas engines in SUV or 4x4 have never been my cup of tea.
Its a nice truck, but sadly for the people who say it looks ugly probably don't even do off-roading and mostly do grocery shopping and soccer momming. But i have to say these SUVs are really under-rated as ive seen tons of leased versions of them at my dealer just sitting in the lot. I would buy one and the boxyness makes very manly.
why a v8 when the v6 has 10 hp more then the v8 that was in. a v6 can do the same thing a v8 can do now thease days and the v6 gets better gas mileage to. and you cant say toque becoz the v6 in the 4runner is just as toquey as the v8
That actually looks way better than the spy photos. I'm quite impressed with the interior and exterior design. But the lack of a V8 or much more powerful V6 is a deal breaker. Which is a shame because it would otherwise be fairly high on my future vehicle list early next year. The body on frame and actual off-road potential is great. I just hope Toyota realizes it needs a bit more power.
@sarzamineiran Well, not really. It's got 10 more HP, but 28 less TQ. And that torque also comes in at a much higher RPM. It also gained over 200 pounds.
And as somebody else commented, I know it's not a race truck. :) But when hauling an SUV full of cargo/passenger and/or towing, you'll really wish you had the torque of the old V8 when you need to go up a hill or pass.
Be interesting to see the take rate on the 4cyl. It is only available in the 2WD version, and only gets 1mph hwy from what I read. I guess it aims to be the budget version 4Runner--but we'll have to see if the pricing backs that up.
Im glad Toyota is bringing back the ruggedness of the 4Runner. They kinda skimped on that with the 2003-2009 Version. They tried to make it more for the surburban family rather then the guy who goes off-road. They learned that the hard way through paltry sales compared to 96-02 version
This looks like the most rugged 4Runner I have seen in a long time. A definite win for Toyota.
There won't be much of a "party mode" when you are off-roading this thing with a four banger, I was hoping Toyota would finally add a 5.7 option like from their LC/Tundra, not digress. The little four will work so hard the v6 will almost definately return better fuel economy.
Toyota people are rubbish this car weights what?, at least 2,000kg, there is no way they can move it with good performance with an L4 engine. They should put a L6 or V8 Diesel engine, thay way you get good fuel economy and performance at the same time.
Yep, that is that green people's fault, those pieces of shit! They're doing it because they think we are destroying the earth with cars and causing "climate change". We are not causing climate change, God changes the earth's temperature, not us. However, in the green imbeciles' eyes, the earth is their god; which is almost as pathetic as them.
This sure looks like an appealing car, but on confusing note- they've taken out the V8 and added a 4?! Unless its got quad turbos it wont be sufficeint for a big b o f suv!
Seriously, when you have a vehicle that weighs 4400 lbs, you need an engine that can put enough power out to handle the load. The current 4.0 liter v6 has 270 hp/278 ft-lbs of torque, and it's still not overly quick. I have a friend who has one. If they put a 4 cyl in the 4Runner, I'm not so sure it'd be a good thing. They'll probably use the new 2.7 liter (182 hp) I-4 from the Venza. If so I think you can look forward to 0-60 around 12-13 secs.
I can't see them putting just the 2.7 in there - they've got to have a massive turbo charger in there. I was trying to think of any recent application of boosters (super or turbo) to Toyotas, and can't think of any. The only thing I can think of is the hybrid powertrain - they did say that they would have it on all of their cars soon!
Toyota has had superchargers for most of their four cylinders and v8's for quite a few years now (not sure about v6's). Superchargers are dealer installed options by TRD (Toyota Racing Development) and allow the vehicle to retain full original warranty. Whether they'll add that or not I'm not sure. Hybrid is a possibility... the only thing that make me doubt it though, is that surely would have been mentioned in this review. Reviewers LOVE to say H-Y-B-R-I-D :-P
Are you kidding kazimann?? First of all, our European SUVs get highly praised for their diesels, and we can only get the 6 cylinders. European reviews state that for a car of this level you need the 8 cylinder diesel. My point?? Power is power, to everyone around the world. Also, for a body on frame truck (Europeans don't employ body on frame), the vehicle is much heavier. A 4 cylinder is not powerful enough (on its own) to move a truck. (See other comments)
Always liked the 4-runner, not too small, not too big, and reliable, i guess. I dont care about the party mode though, like the slide out tray perfect for heavy loads, and glad the 3rd row is optional
