2012 Toyota 4Runner Review
By KBB.com EditorsIf you are looking for an SUV that serves dual purposes – family commuter during the week and an off-road-capable hauling vehicle on the weekend – then add the 2012 Toyota 4Runner to your
If a car-like ride with room for seven passengers and their luggage are more important than rough-road prowess or towing ability, then look at the Ford Explorer, GMC Acadia, or Honda Pilot.
On the road, the 2012 4Runner's drivetrain shines. The Toyota SUV accelerates briskly with an eager 270-hp V6 engine mated to a smooth-shifting 5-speed automatic transmission. Despite being on a truck chassis, the Toyota's ride is fairly smooth with its compliant suspension absorbing bumps well. Outward visibility is good all-around even with the raised rear-seat headrests, so you can change lanes with confidence. The steering, however, is overly-assisted in situations such as parking lots or tight turns and is slow to respond, thus requiring c

"I have owned 3 SUV's - first a Sequoia, then a Highlander, and now a 4RUNNER. I enjoyed the Sequoia for its comfort and roominess, but it was a little too large for my needs. I got a Highlander, which drives like a car. I felt like I was sitting too low after being used to the Sequoia. I traded the Highlander for a 4Runner, and I love it. It is just the perfect size SUV for me."

"I've only had this vehicle for one week... traded a Highlander Hybrid. Admittedly, the Highlander handled better and was more nimble. But the 4Runner is a much more solid vehicle and I have no doubt it will take more punishment. I'm averaging 21.5 MPG on the highway, and about 20 mixed highway/city. No way I can speak to the reliability of this vehicle -- will update later. One unexpected bonus with the 4Runner: Very good rear window visibility, which seems to be a thing of the past with other vehicles. Even though the 4Runner has a rear camera, I still get comfort knowing I can pilot in reverse through the back window in confidence. Great build quality -- everything seems heavy-duty."
