2007 Toyota 4Runner V-6 4x2 Sport Edition Summary
Toyota will return the 4Runner unaltered for 2007, after a number of cosmetic adjustments for the prior model year. The ever-evolving 4Runner has been on the road for over two decades, and is now in its fourth generation. Toyota's popular SUV is also considerably flexible, with twelve variations to meet the different desires and needs of prospective buyers.
The Sport Edition is the mid-level trim between the base SR5 and luxurious Limited models. This finish adds 17 inch wheels, power seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and special X-REAS shocks. These shocks are cross-linked, hence the X, left front to right rear and vice versa. The benefits of the X-REAS system included a damped ride that retains enough road-responsiveness, and better cornering thanks to a hydraulic pump/sensing system that limits body roll. This suspension is not designed for serious off-roading.
The Sport Edition is available with four possible engine and drive train combinations. This 4x2 version is powered by the 4.0 liter V-6, which is the best combination for fuel efficiency (18/22 mpg). This VVT-i engine provides 236 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. It is paired with a five-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission. All V-6 4Runners can tow 5000 pounds.
