2008 2009 Toyota 4Runner

Review date: July 11, 2008

2008 2009 Toyota > 4Runner - MSRP

Three 2008 2009 Models are offered --- the base SR5, the Sport Edition and the Limited.

The 2008 2009 Toyota 4Runner comes in three trim levels: SR5, Sport, and Limited. Each trim level offers two engines and a choice of two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.

Dimensions --- 188 inches long, 74 inches wide and 68 inches high

A new Toyota V6 delivers more power than last year's engine for exceptionally good acceleration performance. And a V8 is also available for the 4Runner for the first time. The V8, an option for all models, delivers better acceleration than the V6 when fully loaded, but you won't need it unless you plan to do a lot of towing.

Available features include hill ascent/descent settings to make the 4Runner easily controllable. Ground clearance is about 9 inches, enough for most settings.

The 4Runner will placate drivers who want to stay in touch with the outside world. You can do so while using an optional navigation system or a variety of stereo packages. The Limited's standard CD/cassette package with six speakers and rear controls should be adequate for most, but there are optional upgrades for audiophiles and those who want booming bass.

The 4Runner has serious stopping power, a good thing for its driver and other motorists if it's out there speeding with traffic in the left lane.
