Powerful and versatile, the 2012 Toyota 4Runner holds its position at the front of the pack of the SUV market. Its 4.0 liter, 6-cylinder engine puts out a massive 270 horsepower and still gets 23 highway MPG, saving you money on gas while getting you to your destination in style. This SUV will always stay firmly planted on the road, thanks to an independent double-wishbone front suspension with a stabilizer bar. The 4Runner is also equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission for smooth shifting and the ultimate driving flexibility.
The 4Runner is ready for both work and play. Fire up your favorite music utilizing a special tailgate "Party Mode" sound optimization system to make sure the good times will never stop. The roomy and modern cabin is home to conveniences like two front and one rear 12V DC power outlets and a center-console storage box with coin, tissue, and pen holders. A multi-information display helps you keep track of the outside temperature, time, and even your average fuel consumption.
The 4Runner proudly boasts Toyota's legendary safety and comes equipped with numerous measures to protect you and your passengers. Toyota's esteemed STAR safety system includes essentials like traction control, vehicle stability control, and electronic brake-force distribution. You are also covered by side-impact door beams and an extensive airbag system, including driver and front passenger TAP (thorax, abdomen, pelvis) airbags.
