It's not often that a vehicle becomes an icon, but 4Runner makes the grade. The fifth-generation 4Runner continues a proud tradition of superb off-road ability combined with mannered on-road performance. But now, 4Runner's already high standards have been thoroughly enhanced and refined. As a result, the new 2012 4Runner is a benchmark vehicle the competition could be studying (perhaps emulating) for years to come.
Impressive Off-road Technology Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), A-TRAC, Multi-Terrain Select, HAC and DAC or Crawl Control all work to help give the 4Runner driver the confidence to conquer a variety of off-road terrain.
Rugged 4x4 Features 4Runner 4x4 gets the hardware right, with body-on-frame construction and a 2-speed transfer case. Limited boasts a Torsen® center differential with locking feature; Trail and SR5 get a simple and reliable part-time 4WD system. Everyday Flexibility 4Runner is a great everyday vehicle. For passengers, a 40/20/40 split reclining 2nd-row seat and an available 50/50 split 3rd-row seat cover the bases. For cargo, a 440 lb. capacity sliding rear cargo deck8 can make loading/unloading a snap. Luxury, On-road or Off 4Runner's luxury interior can include a tilt/slide moonroof, automatic climate control, iPod® integration, XM® satellite radio, navigation and more. Party Mode speakers in the rear hatch help turn a tailgate picnic into an event.
