Toyota's never-dying 4Runner, their off-road oriented and truck-based SUV. With a new 'TRD Sport' trim, there are now a further superfluous number of choices in the 4Runner range.
Fitting in the middle of the field, it combines elements from other trims to become the TRD Sport you see here. This Sport model is sport only in name, with a front bumper derived from the Limited and geared more for the streets.
To me, they're all mostly the same, with the exception of the TRD Off-Road and Pro models being more aimed for those wanting to venture off the beaten path, and the Limited's somewhat upscale interior. The core characteristics that make a 4Runner a 4Runner are all present across the entire range.
What's Hot? Well, it's a 4Runner, a vehicle that carries an unmistakable coolness to it, owed to its legendary durability and capabilities off-road. A Highlander is superior transportation for you and the family, but the 4Runner is an object of desire, even if it's a relic of the past in terms of design and tech. On the road, the 4Runner is delightfully old-school to drive, if you're into that kind of thing.
It's not as stable as modern crossover SUVs, but it's easy to command on the highway above 70 MPH even, this despite the apparent aerodynamic properties of a shipping container. Wind noise isn't even that bad, surprisingly. The aging V6 needs commitment to extract anything from it, but it does rev up with a decent noise and surprising pull at the top end. You do get a sense of invulnerability in the 4Runner, with confidence knowing you can beat the living heck out of this thing and it will just keep going, such is the legend of 4Runners.
Even though this 4Runner is not aimed at the off-road crowd like others, select 4-low using the electronically-controlled transfer case knob, and this SUV will eat modest trails like Cheerios, and with absolutely no fuss, all the while remaining solid as granite.
Exhaust smell upon mild to heavy acceleration is annoying. I followed my wife once and it stunk like rotten eggs every time she gave it gas. We both smoke cigarettes and find this vehicle to be smoker unfriendly.
Wind always comes in window when open a small amount instead of going out even with vent shades installed. If you're going to hit the gas, window better be closed as bad smell comes in drivers window making it stink inside vehicle.
Review Date: 20th August, The 4Runner does have a rotten egg smell when hitting the gas. As I have found in a recent report for consumers and through a dealer, using Amoco Ultimate gas helps eliminate the sulfer smell. It may be that the federally mandated gas formulation in certain areas of the country is high in sulfur.
I have read many posts that complained of the odor, and most of them seem to be in the East or Southwest. Here in the mountain West, I have never smelled it in my 4runner or anyone other. It would be interesting to take a survey and find out.
If you smell a rotten egg smell, it is most likely a bad catalytic converter? The type of gas you use has nothing to do with it.
