NEW FOR 2015:
– No changes.
Following a substantial redesign that included aggressive front-end styling and an upgraded interior, the 4Runner carries over into 2015 without any changes. A tried and tested model, it rides on a durable truck-based ladder frame chassis, and can be equipped with locking differentials and a transfer case for tough off-roading conditions.
Unfortunately, Toyota won’t be bringing the TRD Pro Off-Road model to Canada. Arguably the most interesting 4Runner of the lot, it packs a higher ride height, TRD-tuned Bilstein shocks, beefier skid plates, and 31.5-inch tires amongst other modifications.
All 4Runners are powered by a 4.0-litre V6 engine that develops 270 hp and 278 lb-ft of torque; all have a five-speed automatic transmission.
The 4Runner is available in three different trims: SR5, Trail Edition, and Limited. SR5 and Limited models can be had in five-seat or seven-seat interior configurations.
Features on the SR5 include part-time one-touch 4WD, 17-inch aluminum wheels, , eight-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3/WMA audio with 6.1-inch touch panel display and satellite radio, USB port, auxiliary input jack, Bluetooth phone connectivity and audio streaming, backup camera, steering wheel mounted phone and audio controls, LCD multi-information display, air conditioning, power locks, power windows with auto-up/down, outside temperature gauge, fuel economy meter, compass, tilt/telescopic steering wheel, garage door opener, carpeted and all-season floor mats, cruise control, map lights, three 12-volt power outlets, one 120-volt power outlet in cargo area, keyless entry with rear door release, eight-way driver/four-way passenger power bucket seats, premium cloth seating surfaces, 40/20/40 split rear seats with slide/recline/fold-down seat back, rear privacy glass, heated power mirrors, body colour bumpers/mirrors/door handles/rear spoiler/fender flares, silver painted roof rails, front and rear splash guards, heavy duty tow hitch receiver, four-pin/seven-pin trailer wire harness, electronic trailer brake control prewire, running boards, auto headlight cancel function, fog lights, rear clearance sonar, reflector style headlights, smoked headlight and taillight surrounds, engine immobilizer, and tire pressure monitoring.
