5 reasons to buy the 2022 Toyota 4Runner
1. Built for the trail less traveled
Whether you're an occasional off-road traveler or a trail enthusiast, the 2022 Toyota 4Runner makes an excellent off-roading SUV. There are four 2022 Toyota 4Runner TRD trims, giving you a variety of enthusiast-level upgrades and features to tackle some of the most challenging terrains. For the truly adventurous, the 2022 4Runner TRD Pro includes FOX® shocks with remote reservoirs, TRD-tuned springs, thick skid pads, and a selection of terrain modes. The 2022 Toyota TRD Trail Special Edition includes the basics you'll need for off-roading at a lower trim.
2. Excellent interior space
Thanks to its large, boxy frame, there's plenty of space for passengers, cargo, and whatever other equipment you'll need for the next adventure. You have 47.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second-row seats to use and a whopping 89.7 cubic feet behind the front seats. The 2022 Toyota 4Runner SR5, SR5 Premium, and Limited have an optional third seat that lets you bring up to seven passengers for a ride.
3. Power for cargo and hauling
If you have a trailer with toys you need to haul out to the cottage or a small RV you're towing to your favorite campsite, the 2022 Toyota 4Runner has you covered. Every 2022 Toyota 4Runner is equipped with a torquey 4.0L V6 engine that makes 270 hp, alongside a five-speed automatic transmission. You can get 4WD traction as an option on every trim or standard on TRD Off-Road and higher models. When hauling, a 2022 Toyota 4Runner (any configuration) can tow up to an estimated 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.
4. A good selection of standard technology
You may not associate off-road-focused SUVs with modern technology, but that's where the 2022 Toyota 4Runner has some surprises in store. An eight-inch touchscreen with smartphone integration is standard, and a full suite of driver assists is included in every 2022 Toyota 4Runner—including adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and pre-collision braking.
5. Rugged luxury
The final ace up the 2022 Toyota 4Runner's sleeve comes in the Limited trim. While just as capable when away from pavement, the 4Runner Limited is packed with creature comforts. Enjoy comfortable heated/ventilated perforated leather front seats, leather seating throughout, a 15-speaker JBL® audio system, and dual-zone automatic climate control. You can even open up to the sky above with a large sunroof. The 2022 Toyota 4Runner Limited seamlessly blends luxury and ruggedness.
