car_truckMidnight settles over the pavement, and the 2017 Toyota 4Runner SR5 in Midnight Black Metallic answers with a confident glow from its projector-beam headlights and LED brake lights. The deep, metallic finish sharpens every body line under streetlights, while the stance on 17-inch alloy wheels and P265/70R17 all-season tires hints at the capability waiting beneath. From the subtle rear lip spoiler to the body-coloured fender flares and running boards, this SUV looks purpose-built, not dressed up.
Under the hood, a 4.0L V6 DOHC engine with variable valve control delivers 270 horsepower, paired to a 5-speed automatic transmission with electronic control, overdrive, and lock-up. The longitudinally mounted engine, aluminum block and heads, engine oil cooler, and transmission oil cooler combine for durability and consistent performance.
Multi-Mode part- and full-time 4WD, a manual transfer case, and hill descent and hill start assist give this 4Runner genuine four-wheel-drive confidence, supported by all-speed ABS, traction control, and an electronic stability control system.
This SR5 rides on a robust suspension setup designed for real-world use: independent double-wishbone front suspension with gas-pressurized shocks and a rigid rear axle with coil springs and anti-roll bars at both ends. Four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with four-channel ABS and brake assist provide controlled stopping power, while speed-sensitive, hydraulic rack-and-pinion steering keeps feedback natural and reassuring.
Inside, the cabin balances rugged durability with everyday comfort. SofTex leatherette front and rear seats offer an upscale, easy-care surface, with heated front buckets providing welcome warmth on cold days. The driver’s seat delivers 8-way power adjustment with 2-way power lumbar plus power reclining, cushion tilt, fore/aft, and height settings, while the front passenger seat features 4-way manual controls.
Anti-whiplash front head restraints, height-adjustable front and rear head restraints, and thoughtful ergonomics reflect Toyota’s attention to occupant well-being.
Three rows of seating make this 4Runner a flexible people and cargo mover. The second-row split-bench offers a 40/20/40 configuration with manual recline, fold-forward seatbacks, and a centre armrest, while the 50/50 split-folding third-row seats can manually fold into the floor when cargo space takes priority. Fixed third-row head restraints and a rear centre 3-point seatbelt underscore the focus on safety for all passengers.
The heart of the in-cabin experience is the 6.1-inch touchscreen primary display, backed by AM/FM/SiriusXM satellite radio (with a 3-month trial), a single-disc CD player, RDS, CD-R compatibility, auxiliary input, and external memory control feeding 8 speakers. Bluetooth wireless audio streaming and steering wheel–mounted and voice-activated audio controls allow you to manage music and calls without distraction.
The system is designed around everyday usability and clarity, giving drivers straightforward control over entertainment and connectivity.
Convenience features are plentiful. Cruise control sits on the steering wheel, while power windows with front and rear one-touch up/down, power door locks with auto-locking and keyfob control, and a HomeLink garage door opener streamline daily routines. The keyfob provides keyless entry, window control, and a remote panic alarm, with a valet key included. A power rear windshield and rear window defroster add practicality in variable weather.
Storage and utility are clearly prioritized. There’s a full floor console with covered storage, a mini overhead console, locking glove box, seatback pockets, door bins front and rear, cargo tie-downs, concealed cargo-area storage, a roll-up cargo cover, and cargo area lighting.
Carpeted floor and seatback surfaces create a finished look throughout the cabin and cargo area.
A leather-wrapped steering wheel with manual tilt and telescopic adjustment, leather gear shifter, and metal-look accents on the instrument panel, console, and doors give the interior a refined, cohesive appearance. Manual climate control with a cabin air filter and rear under-seat and console ducts keeps airflow consistent across all three rows.
On the outside, the 4Runner SR5 earns its reputation for toughness: a fully galvanized body with side-impact beams, three underbody skid plates, front tow hook, rear bumper step, roof rails, splash guards, and a full-size crank-down steel spare show it’s built for use, not just show. Body-coloured door mirrors with integrated turn signal indicators, heated glass, and manual folding capability balance function and style.
Safety is comprehensive, with eight airbags including front, side, curtain, and driver and passenger knee airbags, seatbelt pretensioners, an airbag occupancy sensor, rear child safety locks, and a rearview camera.
The 4Runner also features a security system, immobilizer, low tire pressure monitoring, and a full suite of warning indicators, including fluid levels, transmission temperature, oil pressure, and service intervals.
With Four Wheel Drive, genuine towing readiness via Class III hitch and trailer wiring, and an interior engineered for people, gear, and daily duty, this pre-owned 2017 Toyota 4Runner SR5 in Midnight Black Metallic offers a compelling blend of durability, practicality, and comfort for drivers who need an SUV that still feels ready for work and adventure alike.
