Toyota 4 Runner (Japan, 2009-present)

The 2014 4Runner follows the classic SUV formula by being based on a body-on-frame truck chassis. It is meant for buyers who want a truck that will be nearly as capable off-road as on-road. It comes with three drivetrains – rear wheel drive, part-time four-wheel drive or full-time four-wheel drive with a locking center differential. A 4.0-liter V6 with 270hp and a five-speed automatic with a low-range transfer case powers all versions.

The design is very angular and truck-like with aluminum accents on the front and rear bumpers. There is a large hood-mounted air intake and smaller gill-like intakes on each side of the front bumper. The roof rack gets similar aluminum accents as the bumpers.
