Toyota 4Runner first appeared back in 1984 as a modified version of the Hilux pickup. The last and fifth generation was released in 2009, but at the moment, its first restyling, demonstrated already in 2013, is relevant. The car remains true to its roots, it is still a classic frame SUV with an all-wheel-drive system.
However, it has grown a little in size and is overgrown with a bunch of options and auxiliary systems. The changes also affected the line of power units. If earlier, a lot of engines were offered to choose from, then from now on, the car is equipped with one single uncontested four-liter V6.
