Currently, Toyota only offers the 4Runner with a V6. But the 4th-gen 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner also offered a poerful V8 engine. The 4th-gen Toyota 4Runner has had some notable issues, rusting frames being particularly egregious, but the later 2007-2009 models are just as off-road-capable as new 4Runners.

What It’s Like Driving a Pickup Truck with Tank Tracks

Normally, driving a pickup truck on snow and ice requires some good snow tires for better traction. And if the roads are really bad, you either add wheels or take a Sherp ATV. But there is an alternative: ditch the wheels, and give your truck tank tracks. More than a gimmick, these tracks transform how …

Normally, a Mercedes G-Wagon (aka G-Class) isn’t exactly a bargain. The SUV retains its value surprisingly well for a luxury off-roader, and even old models can sometimes sell for six figures. Usually, the only way to get a G-Wagen on the cheap is to get one from the military. However, it is still possible to …

It’s time for an outrageous pickup truck. We yawned at the most recent SEMA Show from the huge amount of lifted pickups with roll bars and lights. These off-roaders all looked the same except for colors and wheels. They say “variety is the spice of life.” We don’t know who “they” are but we’ll acknowledge …

Although the Toyota Tacoma and 4Runner aren’t built on the same platform, the truck and SUV do share a few things. They’re both body-on-frame, with V6s and a reputation for durability and reliability. That’s perhaps due in part to their shared ‘ancestor’, the Toyota Hilux. However, the Tacoma also shares one more thing with the …
