Used 2014 Toyota 4Runner for Sale near New York, NY

[F]or those who seek a rugged vehicle that's as good in the mountains as it is on the freeway, the 4Runner is like a lumberjack attempting the waltz—and executing it perfectly.

It's a marvel that traditional body-on-frame SUVs continue to exist in the modern marketplace. With the explosion of the crossover market, buyers have eschewed traditional SUVs for car-based crossovers. Many of the staples of the SUV market have moved to this crossover formula, including the Ford Explorer, Nissan Pathfinder and others. That is why it's so impressive that a vehicle like the 4Runner persists—a traditional, rugged SUV that is not as extreme as the Jeep Wrangler or Toyota’s own FJ.

Since Toyota also has the Highlander crossover in its fleet, there was little reason for the 4Runner to make the move to vehicular compromise. Instead, it has the best attributes of the Highlander and the FJ, delivering comfortable daily driving and true off-road capability for those who see the crossover as just a minivan with bigger fenders.
