What the figures tell you
It uses the 2.4L 4-cylinder and all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
It is rated at 11.2 L/100 km combined, so budget about 34 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $52.08 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Inside and out
A tall roof and wide doors make it easy to load people and bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the 4Runner first, and buy only if it fits your life. A test week in the 4Runner tells you more than any review. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Choosing the right one
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Money matters
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $173.60 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
