2010 Toyota 4Runner @ 2009 L.A. Auto Show - Car and Driver

[mose0092]

It's too bad the driver's seat is terrible for anyone over 6 ft tall.

[Zinizzle]

@mose0092 I'm 6'2 and have no problem. The older ones yes, they didn't go back far enough. and you could never see over the dash. The 2010 does need some changes in the driving position though.

[mose0092]

@Zinizzle I'm 6'4" and I can't do it. It's not necessarily the distance from the pedals, but more the fact that Toyota puts its seat so low to the floor. I really like the 4runner, but I went wtih a full-size truck to enjoy a more comfortable seat.

[paullam007]

fucking stupid review, 4runner is an off-road SUV. Why would you concentrate on fuel economy and 0-60 mph time?....both of which aren't even bad for an off-road SUV stupid idiot!

[wiseman85]

wtf....18mpg is not horrible....7.8 zero to 60 is not horrible

[pntdblack]

Does it take off on its own too? Or is that an option?

[QerXz]

7.8 seconds to 60 is very good for a off road SUV, not a car bassed crossover, but a real suv

[nimlil]

The Lexus version has the v8 but is a lot heavier. That fact that it has it means that if enough people want it, it wouldn't be hard for Toyota to put one in down the road.

[swrhems]

Fuck that price wait one year get a repo.Get it for half that price see yaaaaaaaaa

[efficienteric]

it's so rugged and sexy. a real classic from toyota

[amarrao95]

7.8 sec. is not half bad for a 4000+ pound SUV. What's actually kinda questionable is the 4400rpm torque peak.

[Tamayo1980]

wait t ill they make the stock supercharger for her. yeah its a SUV, and i dont think toyota cares about the 7.8 o-60

[davidsrx793]

7 .8 sec is faster thean most 4 door cars

[tran61021]

one day i will have one...until then....

[gkklmnc]

i hope they bring the V8 back lol 4cylinder what were they thinking....

[TxStavros]

As are most SUVs made over seas, the 4Runner is made for the Americans! Cheapest gas is only in the states!

[Ryanmd4d]

Yes I know but you said it is an American SUV, and it is by no means "American" only that it is sold in the U.S. While the Toyota Fortuner takes its place on most other regions in the world.

[Ryanmd4d]

It is an American market SUV but it is assembled and shipped from Japan, unlike the Highlander and Sequoia which are assembled in the U.S.

[matslou]

7-8 sec 0-60 is very good for a real off road suv!!!

[IanRossDavies]

i agree, why does a true off road car need to be fast anyway? can't see anyone wanting to put this on a drag strip lol

[007johnie]

i love toyota but this one sucks

[jshaw6000]

Of course it's going to be thirsty if you guys are testing 0-60 times.

[Pajapajin]

thats why you get a jeep 4 doors :P

[DV910]

this guy is too tied up in his crossover "era" to truly see that this is an endagered species, no is used to seeing a true suv anymore, either its a crappy crossover like the edge, or a monster like the tahoe, but this is where it all began, with a true suv, big, powerful, and with off road capabilities

[mrjost55]

@DV910 yeah but nobody really wants them anymore

[DV910]

yeah, quess you're right on that one

[bluestarkad17]

wtf.....it starts at 30k!?!?!?!?....FAIL!

[amarrao95]

Go buy a Kia, or save up the money for a real truck like this.

[bluestarkad17]

lmao a real truck???...o u mean like the tundra...LMFAO!!

[amarrao95]

No I mean like THIS or the H3.

[99AudiMan09]

look at 1:19 where the right rear splash guard is broken haha, good lookin suv either way. gotta miss the V8 though

[raggabeats]

actually there is a new X5 M which is faster, but a wast of money, which is my opinion on all SUV's and cross overs. but if people like them enough to buy, go ahead.

[gunzkevin]

What if you have a big family? You need the space.

[raggabeats]

thats wat vans are made for. seat 7 dont they. and some up to 14

[gunzkevin]

But they lack style and they dont get much better fuel economy if any than a crossover or suv, and they don't have offroading capabilities either.

[raggabeats]

that is true. but most suv's made now have no off road capability either (x5 perfect example). that and of everyone who buys an suv, there is such a very small amount of them that use them for off roading or green laneing. So what i should specify is that, if you are not doing any form of off roading, or the suv or cross over cant do it in the first place, theres no point in buying one. just get a van. or a car, its cheaper and sometimes not as ugly (not as much for the van though)

[gunzkevin]

I totally agree with that statement about the suv's that aren't capable, but here in Minnesota, and many other states, it is pretty much necessary to have a vehicle that has high ground clearance, and awd, or 4wd because the winters are pretty harsh here and the snow piles up often. But yea i totally agree with you on the suv's that aren't really useful besides looking cool.

[Tamayo1980]

well a 4runner should do you good.

[gunzkevin]

I bet it would but I already have an 07 f150 that makes it through the snow easily.

[HondaRulzz4]

looks awesome! i love it!!

[robm425]

SUV that takes 7.8 seconds to get to 60mph is plenty in the real world day to day driving

[TechWithLukasz]

thats a lot faster than a civic, corolla, camry, etc. This car is not slow for what it weighs at all. Its definately brisk, and I dont know what they are complaining about. Its as fast if not faster than an X5 for gods sake!

[chumanho]

Welcome to the world of automotive journalism. Anything takes more than two seconds to 60 mph is slow...

[JasonERF]

I know, hun? It's like he doesn't even realize he's talking about a truck. LOL.

[momodragon]

exactly what i was thinking... CandD arent really down to earth anymore...

they should encourage the car industry and give a lil notch better reviews

[jerrry13157]

ugly

[feAr636]

i liked the light silver one with offroad tires, but the grey one was pretty bad

[jerrry13157]

i just dislike all toyotas in general. they all seem eh and crappy interiors and bunch of road noise. they also have like no styling at all, the venza had a good shot but the interior layout of the dash killed it for me. hondas are boring as well.
