Toyota 4Runner As a mid-size SUV, the Toyota 4Runner offers a little more interior space and a higher towing capacity — up to 5,000 pounds. The 4Runner is also one of the best SUVs for off-road driving. In particular, the TRD Off-Road trim has wheels and tires designed for difficult terrain. Its high clearance and lockable rear differential make it especially safe to drive on difficult dirt roads. The 4Runner comes in several trim levels, including Limited and Premium, that include large sunroofs. If you choose to sleep in the vehicle once you arrive at your destination, you can admire the stars and pick out constellations all night if you wish. And since this SUV has ample storage space, you can easily pack multiple telescopes and camping gear for several people. The Toyota 4Runner has become more and more popular since its first release in 1984, and it's easy to see why.
