3. Back in the day, real sport-utility vehicles like the Toyota
4 Runner ruled the roads, the dirt ones and the paved
ones. Today, Toyota's RAV4 and Venza crossovers
outsell the 4Runner by a factor of 10, but the 4 Runner
survives as one of the few true-blue SUVs that still give
drivers an alternative to the softer, rounder utes of
today.
When it comes to charging up a steep incline or
trudging through a muddy, rutted trail, only the 4Runner
will make it through without any complaints. There aren't
many substitutes for that kind of hardcore sport-ute
capability. The 4Runner is nearly in a class by itself
these days, along with its two-door FJ Cruiser
companion, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the Nissan
Xterra--not to mention the Jeep Wrangler original.

5. The 4Runner's rugged SUV look isn't some conjured
image. It's the reverse: a long time ago it was spun off
from truck-based hardware and given a wagon
body, with few concessions made to style. That's held
true for decades now, and while we might like a
ground-up fresh start every generation or so, the
4Runner at least remains honest to its mission. The
beltline is high, the proportions are chunky, and the
downward slope of the rear pillars are a direct callback
to the ur-4Runner. Inside, the same fundamental
approach works, and works well: the knobs and
controls are big and laid out in an uncluttered way, and
the controls and gauges are framed with simple
materials and the barest dash of metallic trim. For
2014, the 4Runner adds more soft-touch trim inside on
base SR5 and Trail models, and the SR5 gets Toyota's
sharp, bright Optitron gauges.

8. Overall, the Toyota 4Runner drives much better—and
more athletically—than its trail-crawling appearance
might suggest. Steering feel and maneuverability are
unexpected delights in the 4Runner; at low speeds
especially, the 4Runner handles with better precision
and control than you might expect from such a
big, heavy model, and visibility isn't bad. But you'll be
reminded you're in a tall vehicle with soft sidewalls and
a safe suspension calibration if you attack corners too
quickly. A 4.0-liter V-6 engine, makes 270 horsepower
and 278 pound-feet of torque, and feels plenty quick
either off the line or at highway speeds.
