The Toyota 4Runner has always been a prime vehicle to tackle any off road environment. The new 2017 model not only wants to handle the trails – it wants to dominate them. Capability and durability enjoy a marriage with style and technology. Toyota has also implemented impressive advancements in safety to ensure your family and friends are always safe out on the road. So if you’re looking to invest in a 4Runner near Washington, stop on by the Greenville Toyota in North Carolina to test drive one of the most impressive vehicles available.

Rugged Durability

For over thirty years the 4Runner has been known for its passion for off-road adventure. Toyota is now introducing the Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro. Its suspension features TRD Blistein high performance shocks and tuned springs that make even the most treacherous trails feel like smooth asphalt. Accompanied by a 1/4-inch aluminum skid plate to protect the rear of the car there are few obstacles to fear. Even if you don’t purchase the exclusive TRD model, Toyota offers a full line of TRD accessories that can be installed on any 2017 4Runner model. This option offers you to pick and choose what protection or support you need to suit your personal adventures.

Getting up those tough hills is going to require some power underneath the hood. The 4.0 liter V6 engine housed in the 2017 4Runner provides 270 horsepower and can tow up to 5,000 pounds. Just because you’re venturing into unknown territory doesn’t mean you have to leave some of your gear behind. With the 4Runner you can easily tow or stall it to join you on your journey. Hill Assist Control (HAC) is available for vehicles with standard transmission and prevents you from declining in reverse down a steep hill when switching between braking and accelerating. This system works in tandem with available Downhill Assist Control (DAC) which provides breaking assistance when descending a slope. All of these options combined with ventilated disc brakes keep your vehicle in perfect driving condition during those elevated climbs.

Never Lose Control

The most important aspect of blazing nature trails is the trust that you will always be in complete control. The 2017 4Runner offers two different 4-wheel drive systems. Models such as the TRD Off-Road has a part time 4-wheel drive with Active Traction Control (A-TRAC). Other models such as the 4Runner Limited have full-time 4-wheel drive featuring A-TRAC combined with a Torsen limited-slip center differential. These two systems allow each wheel to act independently while preventing you from tilting or slipping off of the trail.

Toyota’s Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) and Crawl Control (CRAWL) are used to offer you the best traction over bumpy or rocky roads. KDSS is used to automatically help the vehicle’s suspension system and CRAWL automatically adjusts your brakes and acceleration to prevent skidding or advancing too quickly. Multi-terrain select offers you a choice of four modes to help regulate wheelspin which causes you to lose traction. Finally, the 4Runner has a locking rear differential which evenly distributes power between your rear wheels and prevents lane departure. All of these features combined allow you to maintain a safe and steady pace.

Bring Your Friends

Nothing is more worthwhile than bringing your loved ones along for an amazing adventure. The 2017 4Runner has been designed with just that in mind. With the 4Runner’s folding rear seats you automatically have 88 cubic feet of storage at your disposal. With third row seating that comfortably accommodates seven passengers you’ll never have to make the difficult choice of leaving anyone behind. The rear glass is powered to lower at the touch of a button allowing you to easily transport longer gear or quickly grab your gear and start your hike. The rear lower deck slides out of the vehicle and can support up to 440 pounds, reducing the difficulty of loading heavier equipment. Located in the rear area is a convenient 120V AC power outlet to charge everything you need for your trip. Gather up a group of friends, load up your gear, and finally depart on that perfect camping trip.
