The Toyota 4 runner is a traditional sport utility built on a rugged and proven truck frame. It is very capable in handling off-road conditions as well as being refined enough for an easy drive around town. Noted for its quality construction, durability and reliability, the 4runner has come a long way from its beginnings in 1984. Now with a roomy and comfortable interior packed with the latest technology, the 4runner provides all the luxury comforts of a daily driver for the outdoor enthusiast.
