car_truckBuilt to shrug off rough weather, long distances, and daily duty with equal confidence, this 2022 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4WD in Magnetic Grey Metallic is an SUV that feels ready for real work, not just driveway appearances. With a proven 4.0L V6, true four-wheel drive, and a thoughtfully laid‑out cabin for both people and gear, it’s engineered for drivers who expect their vehicle to handle everything from weekday commuting to weekend trails without complaint.
Under the hood, the 4.0L DOHC V6 engine delivers 270 horsepower and works with a 5‑speed automatic transmission featuring overdrive and electronic control. Power routes through Toyota’s Multi‑Mode part- and full‑time 4WD system, supported by an electronic transfer case and hill start assist, so you can confidently transition from pavement to gravel or snow.
Gas‑pressurized shocks, a rigid rear axle with coil springs, and four‑wheel disc brakes with ABS and brake assist contribute to a stable, secure drive in varied conditions.
Inside, the SR5 cabin balances durability with comfort. SofTex leatherette upholstery on both front and rear seats resists wear yet feels refined, while heated front seats and a power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support help you stay comfortable on longer trips. Dual-zone front climate control with rear climate ducts keeps temperatures in check for all three rows. Thoughtful storage solutions—like covered floor console storage, door bins, and cargo tie-downs—make it easy to keep essentials secure and organized.
Where this 4Runner really steps ahead in daily usability is its seamless smartphone integration. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are built directly into the 8-inch touchscreen primary display, turning that screen into an extension of your phone.
Plug in your device and you’ll gain intuitive access to your navigation apps, playlists, contacts, and messages using familiar icons, all while keeping your phone safely tucked away. Voice-activated audio controls and steering wheel-mounted buttons let you place calls, send dictated messages, or switch music without taking your hands off the wheel, so staying connected doesn’t mean getting distracted.
Apple users will appreciate how naturally Apple CarPlay mirrors the iPhone experience. Your favorite apps display in a clean, streamlined layout on the center screen, enabling straightforward use of Apple Maps or preferred audio apps, and easy access to Siri for hands-free control. This close integration reduces the learning curve of the infotainment system and lets you rely on your own apps instead of relearning a separate interface.
Android Auto support is just as robust for Android phone owners.
Once connected, your Google Maps or other compatible navigation apps appear with clear, readable graphics, backed by real-time traffic information. Voice commands through your Google Assistant help you search destinations, adjust routes, or manage your audio—all while your eyes stay on the road. The collaboration between the 8‑speaker sound system, Bluetooth audio streaming, and USB ports means your music, podcasts, and calls sound crisp and are easy to manage on the move.
Passenger space is generous, with three rows of seating and flexible configurations. The 40/20/40 second-row seat and 50/50 manual fold-into-floor third-row seat allow multiple cargo and passenger combinations. Whether you’re carrying more people or more gear, the split-bench design and fold-forward seatbacks make the transition straightforward. A liftgate rear cargo door and carpeted cargo area floor further simplify loading and unloading.
On the safety and driver-assistance front, this 4Runner is well-equipped.
Toyota’s Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Lane Departure Alert work together to support more confident driving on busy roads and highways. Blind Spot Monitor helps you keep tabs on adjacent lanes, while a rear-view camera makes backing into tight spaces easier. Eight airbags, including front, side, curtain, and knee airbags for both driver and front passenger, plus third-row airbag coverage, form a comprehensive passive safety network. Stability control, traction control, and tire pressure monitoring further enhance peace of mind.
Practical touches throughout the vehicle underscore its versatility: roof rails for extra cargo options, a Class III tow rating with trailer hitch and wiring for hauling, running boards for easier entry, and a full-size spare tire mounted on a steel wheel for real-world preparedness.
Keyless entry with Smart Key and push-button start, HomeLink garage door integration, and one-touch power windows front and rear emphasize everyday convenience.
With its combination of authentic 4WD capability, versatile three-row interior, and modern connectivity anchored by full Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, this 2022 Toyota 4Runner SR5 stands out as a dependable, technology-savvy SUV that’s ready for demanding use without sacrificing day-to-day comfort.
