2010-2024 Toyota 4Runner Repair

The Toyota 4Runner is a compact, later mid-size sport utility vehicle produced by Toyota, a Japanese automobile manufacturer, and sold throughout the world since 1984. The original 4Runner was a compact SUV and was essentially a Toyota pickup truck with a fiberglass shell over the bed, but the model has undergone significant development and is now a cross between a compact and a mid-size SUV. The third-generation 4Runner (also called the N180) was released in 1995 for the 1996 model year. In Japan, the 4Runner is known as the Toyota Hilux Surf but was discontinued in 2009. In a 2019 study ranking the longest-lasting vehicles in the United States by iSeeCars.com, the 4Runner came in fifth with 3.9-percent of vehicles over 200,000 miles.

The fifth-generation was introduced in 2009 as a five-door SUV. It was sold in three trim levels, two of which were available in the previous generations. The base SR5 trim and the top-of-the-line Limited trim were sold as a two-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive layout. The new Trail Edition was sold only as a four-wheel-drive SUV. It was sold with a four-speed or five-speed automatic transmission.

The Toyota vehicles in the Americas can be identified by the Toyota emblem, which depicts three overlapping ellipses. Toyota 4Runners include the name “4Runner” in capital letters and is generally located directly underneath the Toyota emblem at the rear of the car.
