2022 Toyota 4Runner Review

There’s rugged, and then there’s the 2022 Toyota 4Runner. It’s built for rough rides and tough travels near Saco, Portland, and Scarborough, Maine, but you can still take it to school functions and backyard BBQs. Ira Toyota Saco can tell you all about it in this review as well as how it’s road-ready.

Run of the Space

It doesn’t matter where you’re off to when you have the comfort and versatility of the 4Runner cabin. An available three rows of seats make up the space you have. For the driver, a standard 8-way power-adjustable seat remembers your position with the available memory function.

Now, let’s peek inside.

Other available interior amenities that bring the outside in or keep it out include:

• Dual zone automatic climate control
• Power tilt/slide moonroof
• Heated and ventilated front seats

These items can bring a toasty effect into the car. Meanwhile, the ventilated seats reduce the possibility of you sticking to the upgraded leather seats during the summer.

But there’s more to the SUV than this. With both of the back rows down, you’ll be afforded 89.7 cubic feet of cargo space. That means you can stash sports equipment, furniture, and supplies for rebuilding your deck. Plus, adding the available sliding rear cargo deck makes it easy to load up and get out.

Run of the Tech Center

From your 4Runner dashboard, you’re practically running a command center. The standard 8-inch touchscreen display is at the heart of it all with streaming your phone apps through Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™ integration. With it, you can stay in touch with friends and family and listen to your own playlists. Listen to them on the available 15-Speaker JBL® Premium Audio System.

But what else comes with this high-level package?

• Standard HD Radio™
• Standard Bluetooth®
• Standard SiriusXM®
• Standard Amazon Alexa compatibility
• Available Dynamic Navigation

Use your fingers or dictate commands while driving with the optional Dynamic Voice Recognition.

Not only can you accommodate others with the standard 4G Wi-Fi Connect, but the available Destination Assist accommodates you. With this program, you’ll get 24-hour access to a live agent who can offer directions if you’re lost.

Running with Safety Systems

The Toyota Safety Sense™ P suite of driver-assistive systems gives you confidence so you’re ready for anything. Some systems with this standard package include:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
• Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
• Lane Departure Alert

It also features an available Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert that makes those hidden areas visible. You’ll be thankful you have it!

These two systems work with the available Panoramic View Monitor, which provides 360-degree views. All this makes it easier to park your car in a challenging or tight spot. Add the optional front and rear parking assist sonar to the mix, and you’re alerted whenever you’re too close to an obstacle.

Performance with Intensity

Gain a satisfying performance when you’re traversing unfamiliar territory or the familiar ride home. The 4Runner provides a 4.0L V6 engine that generates 270 horsepower with 278 lb-ft of torque. With this level of intensity, you can hook up a trailer loaded with up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.

While you can rely on the 5-speed automatic transmission, you also get more road-ready equipment. The available Multi-Terrain Select features four modes. Other systems you can count on for rugged performance include:

• Standard Downhill Assist Control
• Standard Hill Start Assist Control
• Available Crawl Control

Plus, you’ll have solid gas mileage because your Toyota achieves an EPA-estimated 16 city and 19 highway MPG.¹
