2021 Toyota 4Runner Diminished Value Sample

The 2021 Toyota 4Runner is a mid-size SUV with a rugged, old-school feel that sets it apart from its modern crossover SUV competitors. Despite being one of the oldest and least refined SUVs in the market, the 4Runner has a solid body-on-frame construction and options for off-road driving that make it highly capable in tough terrains. However, its outdated V-6 engine and plastic-heavy interior are notable drawbacks.

The 4Runner’s 4.0-liter V-6 engine and five-speed automatic transmission are smooth and provide adequate performance, but its low fuel economy rating of 16 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway is a significant disadvantage. The SUV comes with rear-, four-, or all-wheel drive and has selectable, part-time four-wheel drive for all models except the Limited, which has full-time all-wheel drive.

Every 4Runner comes with an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Entune system also features physical buttons and rotary knobs.

The Toyota 4Runner’s classic styling and off-road capabilities are its standout features. Still, its outdated technology and low fuel efficiency may deter potential buyers who prioritize modern amenities and fuel economy over off-road prowess.
