While searching for your next midsize SUV, you're likely to come across two outstanding models, the Toyota Highlander and the Toyota 4Runner. While each SUV has its perks, some key differences make each one unique. To get a better idea of which Toyota SUV in Rutland is the one for you, Alderman's Toyota has created this comparison between the two models.
Let's start by looking at the cabin of each SUV. Both models offer ample passenger space to keep everyone comfortable. However, the Toyota Highlander comes standard with a third row, while the Toyota 4Runner comes with two rows and gives you the option to upgrade to the third row. Another point of comparison is cargo space, which the 4Runner has about 6 cubic feet more than the Highlander.
When it comes to infotainment systems, these two SUVs don't differ much at all. Posted on the dash in the Highlander and 4Runner is an 8-inch touchscreen, which is user-friendly and has crisp, clear graphics. One key difference is that the new Toyota Highlander comes with a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot to keep occupants connected while on the go. The Toyota 4Runner does not come with a Wi-Fi hotspot.
Now, let's look at powertrain options. Both Toyota SUVs come with one powertrain, but they differ slightly. Propelling the Toyota Highlander is a 3.5-liter V6 that generates 295 horsepower, which is plenty to get this hefty vehicle up to speed quickly. Under the hood of the Toyota 4Runner is a 4.0-liter V6 that produces 270 horsepower, which is just barely less than the Highlander but plenty powerful enough for this model.
