Land Rover Defender
Rugged off-road SUV from Land Rover
Reviewers mostly praise the Toyota 4Runner for its rugged dependability and off-road capability, though many lament its aging powertrain and poor fuel economy. The body-on-frame construction and durable materials earn high marks for build quality, while the TRD Pro's Fox suspension and cool design appeal to enthusiasts. However, the weak four-cylinder engine, slow throttle response, and high starting price above $43,000 leave some feeling the 4Runner is overpriced and underpowered for its class.
