2006 Toyota 4runner
by: Stuart Simpson, Tue Dec 6th
Have you seen the redesigned 4runners? They are all new, and Imean from the frame up. This would be the 4th generation of the4runner. The first models were just pickups with camper shells.I think they modified them slightly up until 1995. In 1996, the4runner was redesigned completely into an SUV. The new 4runnersare no slouch, either. They have been totally redesigned fromthe ground up. I have a 1996 4runner. I bought it in 1997. It has been the bestvehicle I have ever owned. I've been threatening to get another4runner, but I wasn't really thrilled with the ride quality ofmy old 4runner. Then I drove a new one. They aren't the samevehicle. Maybe in name only, but the new one is so muchsmoother. My 4runner has a stout v6, but this 4runner I drove had a V8with some power. It has 270 hp and 330 lb-ft of torque. My oldv6 only has 183 hp. Quite a jump in power. Even the new 4.0 V6models have 245 hp. That's a marked improvement.
New features include automatic limited-slip differential, sidecurtain air bags, traction control, 3rd row seat along with thisneat double decker cargo system in the back. I'm just surprisedat all the new features and benefits from the new model over therendition I've got. You can even adjust the rear cargo height to make it easier tounload. Then when you go off road, you can raise it in highmode. Otherwise, the self leveling feature keeps the 4runnerwhere it needs to be for the most comfortable ride. I found out theV8 is an option on all models. The SR5, sportedition, and even the Limited all come standard with the V6.Now, that V6 will move. The V8 actually gets a little better gasmileage. Go figure that one. The SR5 to Limited range is not very much. A few nice optionsare added to the Limited version. But the things you would thinkneed to be standard are not, like side curtain air bags.Moonroof and homelink would be some nice additions I would likeif I was to get another SR5 like I have now. The new 4runner is truly a remarkable improvement over theprevious models. Just as the 1996 model was so significantlyimproved over the 1995 models. Try out the new Toyota 4Runner;you'll be as impressed as I was. About the author:Stuart Simpson http://www.toyota-trucks-review.com
