2023 Toyota 4Runner

Description

Brilliant white paint catching the sun, a confident V6 idle resonating through the cabin, and a commanding view over the road from a high, supportive driver’s seat—this 2023 Toyota 4Runner SUV delivers an immediately reassuring, purposeful feel the moment you step inside and press the push-button start. Everything about it signals durability, control, and readiness for real-world use, from its rugged exterior detailing to its thoughtfully organized interior. Under the hood, a robust 4.0L V-6 DOHC engine with variable valve control and 270 horsepower powers this Four Wheel Drive 4Runner. The engine sits longitudinally up front, running on regular unleaded fuel with a spark-ignition system and supported by aluminum block and heads for strength and efficiency. Paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission featuring overdrive, transmission oil cooler, and electronic control with sequential shift, this setup delivers predictable, confident performance on highways, in city traffic, and on rougher roads.

Multi-Mode part- and full-time 4WD, an electronic transfer case, and hill descent control provide the traction and control you want in changing conditions, while hill start assist adds confidence on steep inclines. The chassis is engineered for stability and security. Independent double-wishbone front suspension and a multi-link rear setup, along with coil springs, gas-pressurized shocks, and front and rear anti-roll bars, balance comfort and control. All-speed ABS with four-channel, four-wheel disc brakes and brake assist work together with electronic stability control and traction control to help keep you composed in emergency maneuvers and slippery conditions. A Class III tow rating, trailer hitch, and trailer wiring harness expand your capability for hauling gear, boats, or small campers. Inside, the 4Runner’s cabin focuses on durability and comfort.

SofTex leatherette front and rear seat upholstery and leatherette door trim convey an upscale yet practical feel. Heated bucket front seats offer eight-way power adjustment with lumbar support for the driver and power controls for the front passenger, ensuring tailored comfort on long trips. Thoughtful touches like a leather gear shifter, leather and metal-look steering wheel, and metal-look accents on the console, doors, and instrument panel give the interior a cohesive, modern look. Passenger space and cargo flexibility are clear strengths. The second row features 40/20/40 split-folding and fore/aft adjustment, with manual reclining seatbacks and a centre armrest for added comfort. A third row with 50/50 split-folding seats that fold into the floor creates multiple configurations for passengers and gear. Height-adjustable head restraints in all rows, three rear head restraints, and a rear centre 3-point seatbelt show attention to occupant support and safety.

With cargo area tie-downs, carpeted floor and seatback surfaces, and a bright cargo light, the rear area is ready for everything from luggage to outdoor equipment. Where this 4Runner really modernizes daily driving is in its connected infotainment and smartphone integration, especially Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. An 8-inch primary touchscreen display anchors the dash, serving as the command centre for your compatible smartphone’s apps, maps, calls, messages, and media. Plug in through one of the 3 USB ports and your iPhone integrates seamlessly via Apple CarPlay: your familiar interface appears on the screen, letting you use Siri for hands-free messaging, pull up Apple Maps or your preferred navigation app, and access your playlists and podcasts without distraction. The system is designed so that common CarPlay tasks—answering calls, changing tracks, checking routes—are a tap or voice command away, minimizing the time your eyes leave the road. Android users get the same level of integration with Android Auto smart device mirroring.

Once connected, you can bring Google Maps or Waze onto the 8-inch display, have Google Assistant manage calls and texts by voice, and stream music through your favourite apps. Real-time traffic and weather information from the system further enhances route planning, particularly useful on longer road trips or daily commutes that cross busy corridors. The interface is laid out to feel natural to smartphone users, reducing the learning curve and helping keep your focus ahead. Supporting this connectivity is a robust audio and information setup. You get AM/FM/SiriusXM satellite radio with a 3-month trial subscription, Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, and an 8-speaker sound system for clear, even coverage throughout the cabin. Steering wheel–mounted audio and voice controls keep your hands where they belong, while the window grid antenna improves reception.

The instrument cluster includes a 4.2-inch display with trip data, vehicle status readouts, and essential gauges, as well as a driver information centre, helping you stay informed at a glance. Climate and comfort are handled by automatic dual-zone front climate control, with rear under-seat and console ducts distributing air to second- and third-row passengers. A cabin air filter helps maintain a clean, pleasant interior environment. Illuminated entry, fade-in courtesy lighting, front reading lights, and a mini overhead console support convenience day and night. Multiple storage points—12 beverage holders, seatback pockets, door bins, covered floor console storage, and a locking glove box—make it simple to organize everyday items. From a safety and security perspective, the 4Runner provides comprehensive coverage. It features eight airbags, including front, side, curtain coverage for all three rows, and driver and passenger knee airbags.

Front seatbelt pretensioners, adjustable front seatbelts, rear child safety door locks, and active front head restraints further protect occupants. The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert (LDA), and Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) with rear collision warning enhance situational awareness, especially in traffic or on busy urban streets. A rear-view camera helps with backing and parking, while Automatic High Beam headlights manage illumination intelligently at night. Security technologies add peace of mind. A vehicle immobilizer, security system, vehicle tracker, and Safety Connect emergency SOS system all work together to protect both occupants and the vehicle itself. Service Connect tracks service intervals, and diagnostic alerts support proactive maintenance. A low tire pressure warning, fluid-level warnings, battery and oil pressure alerts, and a transmission temperature warning help you identify issues early. On the outside, this 4Runner blends utility with a purposeful aesthetic.

White non-metallic monotone paint pairs with body-coloured bumpers, fender flares, and mirrors, accented by black window trim and chrome door handles. Running boards make entry and exit easier, especially for children or when loading gear on the roof rails. Projector-beam headlights with LED low beams, LED front fog lights, LED brake lights, daytime running lights, and an auto-off function create strong visibility while conserving energy. A rear lip spoiler, rear bumper step, splash guards, and fully galvanized body panels with side-impact beams underline both style and structural integrity. The glass sunroof with sliding and tilting functions and express open/close operation adds natural light and fresh air, controlled easily by the driver. Deep-tinted windows help keep the cabin cooler and enhance privacy for passengers and cargo.

The 17 x 7-inch silver aluminum wheels with P265/70R17 all-season BSW tires strike a practical balance between grip and ride comfort, and a full-size steel-wheel spare with crank-down mechanism is ready if needed. Everyday usability is strengthened by smart key with hands-free access, push-button start, remote panic alarm, smart-device remote start, and keyfob controls for windows and sunroof. Power front and rear windows with one-touch up/down, power door locks with auto-locking, and a power rear windshield improve daily convenience, whether you’re loading groceries or ventilating the cabin. A HomeLink garage door opener, multiple 12V power outlets, and an interior 120V AC outlet support everything from powering tools to charging laptops. With a four-wheel drive system designed for real-world conditions, a flexible three-row interior, and modern connectivity that highlights Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, this pre-owned 2023 Toyota 4Runner SUV stands out as a capable, technologically current choice for drivers who want genuine SUV strength alongside seamless smartphone-driven convenience.
