OverviewThe Toyota 4Runner is all-new for 2010. This multipurpose midsize SUV combines rugged body-on-frame construction with true all-terrain capability. The 2010 4Runner is intended to be a tough and reliable platform for the more adventurous SUV owner, adding advanced four-wheeling equipment that was previously unavailable.The 2010 Toyota 4Runner comes in three distinct models, each with specialized equipment packages, to suit a variety of luxury, recreational capability, and affordability priorities. All are sturdily built, with an extensive suite of safety features, flexible seating, and multiple cargo options. The interior design is based on the concept of multi-purpose use, with improved cargo volume, back-row legroom and enhanced storage for 2010. The all-new 2010 4Runner has more horsepower than ever before, and gets better mileage. The 2010 4Runner engine lineup consists of a standard 4.0-liter V6 and an optional 2.7-liter four-cylinder. The prior 4.7-liter V8 is no longer offered, but the 2010 4Runner is still more energetic than any of the previous editions, thanks to improvements made to the V6. The 2.7-liter four-cylinder is available for 2WD SR5 models only. The 4Runner has good on-road dynamics with rack-and-pinion steering and well-proportioned disc brakes. It may be as nimble as the lighter-duty Highlander crossover, but it’s far more capable and much more durable for use on rough terrain. Compared to the FJ Cruiser, the 4Runner is more versatile and more passenger-friendly, and nearly as capable off-road. The 4Runner seats up to seven people or can haul a lot of cargo. The 4Runner is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds, enough for light boats, ATVs and snowmobiles.

Model Lineup The 2010 Toyota 4Runner is available in 2WD or 4WD and in three distinct models, SR5, top-of-the-line Limited, and Trail Edition. A full-time multi-mode 4WD system is available with the Limited; a part-time system is standard on SR5 and Trail Edition. Two-row or three-row seating configurations are available, for five or seven passengers. The 4.0-liter V6 mated to a five-speed automatic is standard across the range. A lower-cost 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine is available on 4×2 SR5 models.

Walkaround The 2010 4Runner is lightly larger overall than the prior generation, but with the same wheelbase. Because the A-pillar has been moved forward slightly, the new 4Runner has a slightly more upright appearance. Still, the exterior is sleek enough to allow for a reduction in the coefficient of drag to 0.365 Cd. There are three distinct appearance packages for the 2010 4Runner, matched to the model. All share a boxy form with a wide stance, with wide fenders to suggest muscularity. The wheelwells are squared off and generously sized for larger tires, like the FJ Cruiser. New bumpers add a sense of heft. Roof rails are standard on all models, emphasizing the 4Runner’s potential as a recreational gear transporter. Improved-performance projection-beam head- and tail lamps lend a technical appearance, distinguished by unusually conspicuous lens bulges. The effect is contemporary, advanced, and yet in keeping with 4Runner’s five-generation tradition of body-on-frame construction. The Trail Edition is styled to project rugged good looks, a sense of mystery, and a sporting nature. It has a sporty hood scoop, blacked-out mirrors and bumpers, and a dark smoke treatment on the head and tail lamps. Both the Trail Edition and SR5 have similarly styled overfenders and mud guards, and both have 17-inch alloy wheels as standard equipment, although each grade has its own distinctive wheel. On the SR5, there is greater use of chrome accents, and the roof rack is silver with black end caps. Heated exterior mirrors have turn signal indicators and puddle lamps. The Limited comes on lower-profile P245/60 tires mounted on 20-inch alloy wheels. All models come with a full-size spare, and the Limited has a matching alloy spare. Like the SR5 and Trail Edition, the Limited has a rear spoiler that houses the rear wiper, keeping it tucked away when not in use. Read more regarding the 2010 Toyota 4Runner HERE!!
