Model Lineup
The redesigned 2010 Toyota 4Runner is a 4-door midsize SUV, available in three grades (SR5, Limited and Trail) and in either rear- (4x2) or 4-wheel drive (4x4). The Trail grade is designed to maximize off-road performance with superior approach and departure angles, high ground clearance, and an array of functional upgrades for the most demanding active outdoor enthusiast, the company says. It is distinguished by a hood scoop, unique 17-inch wheels, black outer mirrors, front and rear bumper guards, and dark smoke treatment on the head and tail lamps. The Limited and SR5 grades make extensive use of chrome for a premium look, according to Toyota.

In terms of creature comforts, air conditioning is standard on SR5 and Trail grades, while automatic dual-zone climate control is standard on the Limited. Leather interior is standard on the Limited grade and optional on SR5. A Smart Key system, featuring keyless entry with push-button start, is standard on the Limited grade. The tailgate window, which powers down for added utility just like on previous 4Runners, has jam control, as well as the moonroof and power side windows. Another convenience feature is an available pull-out cargo deck that is capable of holding up to 440 pounds of weight, according to Toyota. The cargo deck slides out to make loading heavy items easier. When extended, the cargo deck can also be used to provide covered seating when the tailgate is raised. Models with the sliding deck also feature a 6.4-liter storage box behind the rear seat.

The base audio system in the SR5 has an AM/FM/CD player with 8 speakers. Standard audio on the Trail and Limited grades (optional on SR5) is an AM/FM/MP3 CD player with 8 speakers, integrated XM satellite radio (free for three months), USB port with iPod connectivity, hands-free phone capability and music streaming via Bluetooth, and steering wheel audio controls. The optional premium JBL audio system has a 6-disc in-dash CD changer and 15 speakers. For models equipped with the optional navigation system, a 4-disc CD changer is used, and XM satellite radio, Bluetooth, and iPod with MP3 control functions are included, with 15-speaker JBL audio. The navigation system includes a large 7-inch monitor that also allows the driver to monitor fuel consumption.
