Toyota 4Runner exterior review

 It's no secret that at the core of the Toyota 4Runner off-roader lies a body-on-frame construction. This model has maintained its heritage from the first generation down to its fifth generation with its extreme ruggedness and healthy towing capacity. This Toyota 4Runner exterior review will be showing us what makes this model one of the toughest SUVs of all time.

The model is capable of running on rocky terrain

1. Exterior of Toyota 4Runner

The Toyota 4Runner is a 4-door midsize SUV built for family hauling or rugged roads. It's a front-engine rear wheel/4 wheel drive that's suitable for Nigerian roads.

1.1. Boxy structure

Though the Toyota 4Runner is being offered in varieties of configurations to accommodate more buyers, its boxy structure cuts across all the trim levels.

Standard exterior features of the base trim include fog lights, LED taillights, heated exterior mirrors, bold front fascia, and projector-beam headlights. Also present is a smoked-chrome grille with tubular roof-rack and step bars. The tires are fitted onto 17-inch spoke alloy wheels with black-painted accents. The 4Runner has an impressive ground clearance and passengers will be needing steps to get in and out of the car. Side steps are offered as an option rather than a standard feature on all 4Runners.

Toyota is slow in its modifications of the 4Runner. Howbeit, the latest model came with refined features like chrome door handles, and chrome-accents front grille, giving the SUV a personality of its own.

1.2. Length and width

If you're wondering if this pickup based off-roader can accommodate your large family alongside some stuff, then you need not worry because the 4Runner is lengthy at 190.2 inches. Coupled with its impressive ground clearance of 9.6 inches, it makes the SUV sit above the ground.

The width is 75.1 inches, to add to its spaciousness.

1.3. Bodyweight

With all the fittings and installation, the gross bodyweight of the 4Runner is 6,300 lb.

1.5. Towing capacity

The towing capacity of a Toyota 4Runner powered by the V6 engine is 5,000 lb. (2,300 kg).For the RWD V8 models, its 7,300 lb (3,300 kg)

2. Toyota 4Runner exterior colors
