Before you sign for the 4Runner

Specs, explained
It runs the 4.0L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Expect about 37 litres for every 300 km, going by its 12.4 L/100 km combined rating. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $57.66 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
How big it is
Being a full-size SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Best uses
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Drive it on your own roads
A week with the 4Runner answers more than any brochure. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the 4Runner first, and buy only if it fits your life.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $192.20 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Which one to look for
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
