Product Overview

Toyota 4Runner Mk5 (chassis code N280) is a mid-size SUV in production from 2009. It is available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 2.7 to 4.0 liters.
Built on the same platform as the J150 Prado, Lexus GX, and FJ Cruiser, the 4Runner is optimized for offroading. Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, will appreciate the extraordinary approach and departure angles that the chassis offers.
Owners may find that at speed the vehicle consumes a lot more than the numbers indicate, thanks to a disappointing 0.36 coefficient of drag to show for it. Utility-minded owners will love the 2515L (89cu-ft) cargo space.
