The 2016 Toyota 4Runner is equipped with a standard V6 motor across the trim levels and comes with the same power output for all the trims too. The motor is a 4-liter naturally aspirated unit and is mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission with manual mode. The AWD models come with a low-range mode irrespective of a part-time or a full-time 4x4 layout.

The motor remains smooth and effortless at all times. Even when the pavement ends and you decide to venture off the roads, the motor and the transmission take care of everything seamlessly. For a heavy SUV, the 0-60mph run is completed by the 4Runner within 7.8 seconds while equipped with the AWD layout.

The 4Runner might have the least power output among the rivals on the list but it takes the crown with its torque output that allows it to crawl over any surface is equipped with the right techs. The Jeep Grand Cherokee offers the maximum horsepower while both the Cherokee and the Dodge Durango have similar torque output. The Dodge Durango is more oriented towards being a family mover rather than being a full-bodied off-roader like the 4Runner.

The Toyota 4Runner is big and heavy and there’s no denying the fact that it results in a lackluster fuel economy. The SUV offers 17mpg within the city limits and the number climbs to 21mpg out on the highways. The combined mileage stands at 18.8mpg.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is the most fuel-efficient among the rivals and it is very closely followed by the Dodge Durango in terms of an overall fuel efficiency rating. The fuel-efficiency ratings of the 4Runner are acceptable if we consider its impressive off-roading capabilities that remain almost unmatched in the segment.

Toyota has always offered simple, ergonomic, and robustly-built interiors that might lack in the appeal department but is sure to last for a long time. The 4Runner features a clutter-free and easy-to-use interior and all the materials are of superior quality. The interior is more focused on durability than comfort and lacks plushness unlike some of its rivals. The seats are covered in cloth upholstery and come in an optional synthetic or leather trim.

The front seats are decently comfortable and offer a good amount of support. The rear bench seats are decently comfortable too while the third seats are quite impractical and are best suited for keeping the extra luggage or fitting in kids for a short period of time. The dashboard design is crude for today's standards but is functional and all the controls are quite accessible from the driver's seat.

The 4Runner offers the maximum headroom among the rivals owing to its taller structure. The third-row seats on the Durango are within the vicinity of the 4Runner with similar dimensions. The Grand Cherokee doesn’t offer third-row seats but has spacious front and second-row seats along with a well-designed cabin.

Infotainment

The 4Runner comes with a not-so-fancy infotainment system with Toyota’s own Entune system. The display measures 6.1-inch and is a touchscreen panel with good graphics and a smooth user interface.

The system comes with some basic features such as smartphone integration, voice recognition, and a GPS link application that will use your phone’s GPS data to guide you through on-screen navigation.

Some standard features of the infotainment system are:

• AM/FM Stereo
• Auxiliary Audio Input
• CD Player (Optional) & MP3 Player
• Satellite Radio (Optional)
• Smart Device Integration

The exterior of the 4Runner truly defines what a rugged SUV should look like. With an old-school design and huge wheels, the SUV starts to conquer all sorts of terrains while being stationary. The front fascia looks extremely tough with a big and wide front grille and proportionately smaller headlights.

The bulky side profile gives the SUV immense road presence with huge wheel arches. From the rear, the SUV looks like an ordinary vehicle with rather small wrap-around taillights.

The 4Runner towers over its rivals with an exceptional ground clearance of 9-inches and it allows it to go over almost anything it faces. The Grand Cherokee and the Durango aren’t too far behind either with the former being the widest and the longest on the list.

Being a Toyota vehicle the 4Runner sure doesn’t compromise on the safety front. It bagged a decent overall 4-star rating from the NHTSA and the IIHS rated it as “Good” for most of its testing parameters. Standard safety features include antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, front knee airbags along with Active front head restraints.

The AWD models come with an off-road traction control called A-trac that ensures traction is never lost in extremely slippery situations.

Some safety features include:

• Brake Assist
• Electronic Stability Control
• Daytime Running Lights (Optional)
• Child Safety Locks

Toyota 4Runner vs Jeep Grand Cherokee

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a great urban vehicle as well as a potent highway cruiser. While venturing off the roads, its shows a decent terrain scaling capability which is acceptable for occasional and average off-roading activities. The cabin of the Grand Cherokee is spacious too and it offers more features than the 4Runner as well. The 4Runner beats it in terms of pure off-roading prowess and robustness.

Toyota 4Runner vs Dodge Durango

The Dodge Durango is among the few old-school SUVs that are still on sale and intimidates the modern SUVs with its sheer road presence and raw performance. It is a brilliant family mover and a highway cruiser but its chunky dimensions make it not so friendly within the city limits. It has a very limited off-road capability majorly owing to its longer wheelbase butt offers a strong performance nonetheless. The 4Runner is still better than the Durango in terms of off-roading and reliability fronts respectively.

In a market dominated by many lightweight and tech-loaded off-roading vehicles, the 4Runner stands out from the crowd with an aging but practical design and a lot of mechanicals to tackle almost any terrain with ease. The SUV stands quite tall and owing to that, it doesn’t handle well at higher speeds and cornering is an absolute no-no with it. On the interior aspect, the SUV has a robust and practical cabin with decent levels of comfort on offer. Overall, it poses as an attractive offering for those desiring to venture into the wilderness every now and then.
