2010 Toyota 4Runner Trail Grade Full Test

Just saw the 2010 4runner

Written by: golf9596 on Nov 22, 2009 03:44 PM

I was at the local Toyota dealership and saw the new 4runner roll off the truck today. I have to say it was sharp, very rugged looking. I like the interior upgrades and found it had more room up front for all of the passangers. The rear hatch storage was about the same as the previous generation. The vehicle is larger in all areas compared to last year. I am looking forward ... Read More...

2010 Toyota 4Runner redesign

Check the specs

Written by: joli1 on Nov 22, 2009 07:02 AM

2009 4Runner - 4300lbs with 236hp which gives it 18.22lbs/hp vs 2010 4Runner - 4675 lbs with 270hp which gives it 17.31lbs/hp. In this case, the lower number wins. I'll take the off road capability along with body integrity over a little pick up. Maybe the new one is geared a little different. After renting several compacts ove the past several months having a locked ... Read More...

I think we need to step back and define "skid plate." According to the Toyota 4Runner (US) specs, the SR5 comes standard with engine and fuel tank skid plates. The SR5 V6 4x4 has an additional transfer case skid plate. Or are we talking about this type of accessory skid plate, as shown on the 2009 model? Read More...

Re: A Toyota designed by Nissan - Just A wish [rsarrami]

Written by: qs933 on Nov 01, 2009 10:47 PM

I would have love to see/own a Toyota designed by Nissan. I chose the 2005 4Runner over the 2005 Pathfinder and the Venza over the 2009 Murano. The Nissans were great; very competitive, but the Toyotas were the better pick for me. YMMV. Nissan interiors have become a lot better generation-over-generation, versus the 4Runner's debatable decline (for example, ... Read More...

Now it only refers to the Limited as having a Torsen, which is correct. Read More...

Re: 4Runner Gets "De-Tuned" Version 4.7L V8? [rentschl]

Written by: nedzel on Sep 22, 2009 07:40 AM

"I noticed that Edmunds shows the 2009 4Runner 4.7L V8 as 260 HP. But the 2009 Sequia 4.7L V8 as 310 HP. " That's a different (and newer) engine. The 2009 Sequoia has a 4.6l, not a 4.7l V8. The 4Runner V8 was selling poorly and was in the last year of its run before the next generation, so I'm sure that Toyota felt it was not worth the money to spend on the engineering. The ...

Written by: tangman on Sep 01, 2009 05:17 PM

If you are in the US, that price is highfor an SR5. Since Toyota reduced 4-Runner production, my experience is you will pay more today than 9 months ago. Just not many available. Cash For Clunker cleaned their lots, so even in the case of the 4-Runner they are motivated to significantly discount. Just my experience. Read More...
