2013 Toyota 4Runner Review

The fifth generation 2013 Toyota 4Runner comes in three styles: the SR5, the Trail, and the Limited. 4Runner drivers come in two kinds: newbies and repeat customers. Newbies are always amazed at the spacious seating for 5. Many families love the optional third row with its 50/50 split. Repeat buyers always love the guarantees that come with buying a Toyota. The vehicle will run smoothly, perform well, and last a long, long time. The warranties are generous, and the fuel economy is reasonably high for its class.
The SR5 comes with an integrated towing receiver hitch, a special wiring harness with multiple connectors, a power rear liftgate window, and Bluetooth for hands-free music audio and phone. This special 4Runner offers incredible towing while keeping the vehicle occupants entertained and informed. The Trail offers Toyota’s special multi-terrain Select and Crawl Control. These features make this 4x4 always ready to go off-road, and that's why the Trail is the choice of most off-roading fans. The Limited offers leather-trimmed seats, a dual zone automatic climate control system and 20-inch, split 6-spoke alloys. It also has chrome door handles with a revolutionary touch-sensor lock/unlock capability. This 4Runner offers luxury and performance.
Choices include a 4x2 or 4x4 powertrain. Either way the 4Runner offers a masterful 4-liter, V6 in a double overhead cam. The 24-Valve system is engineered with Toyota's Dual Independent Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence. This VVT-i keeps the fuel flowing smoothly to help maintain 270 hp/278 lb.-ft torque. 4Runner offers a 5-speed automatic including a sequential shift mode for extra driving fun.
