The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Description:
|
On certain 2-wheel-drive (2WD) and 4-wheel-drive (4WD) 4Runner sport utility vehicles, a combination of heavy loading (simultaneous loading to rear gross axle weight rating and gross vehicle weight rating) and severe steering maneuvers could cause the 2WD 4Runner to lose directional stability. This may result in a loss of control and could increase the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace rear suspension parts. Although the 4WD 4Runners do not exhibit the handling condition, Toyota will recall these vehicles to avoid any public confusion as to which vehicles should receive the replacement parts. Owner notification began February 28, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

Summary:
|
All new and much improved.
By Ray Thursby, NewCarTestDrive.com
We have no hesitation in recommending the latest 4Runner to anyone who is in the market for a sophisticated and reliable sport-utility vehicle. A superb ride and roomy interior make it comfortable enough for daily use, without compromising the durability that makes it a good choice for sensible off-roading.But shop carefully! The 4Runner is far from inexpensive--a drawback common to most Toyotas--and a fully dressed Limited's pricetag puts it up against such stalwarts as the Land Rover Discovery and Orvis Edition Jeep Grand Cherokee V8, as well as newcomers like the Explorer V8 and Mercury Mountaineer. The addition of goodies like chromed alloy wheels ($1030), air conditioning ($985), power windows and antenna ($485) and towing package ($660) quickly sent our tester's pricetag rolling over the $30,000 frontier. Money aside, though, the 4Runner should be considered a class leader. The quality of assembly and finish is tops, inside and out, and it's a Toyota, which means you can expect long, trouble-free service. |

Overview:
|
Toyota is a longtime player in the sport-utility game. The company's original Land Cruiser gained a solid reputation for toughness; early versions are still a common sight wherever off-roaders gather. The 4Runner was the company's second entry into this booming market. At first, it was little more than a Toyota pickup with a plastic shell over the bed and extra seats. Customer demands for more sophistication were answered after a few years with an all-steel version, though 4Runner's truck ancestry remained all-too-readily apparent. And when a 4-door version was added to the line, it was conspicuously lacking in room for the rear seat passengers. As the market has grown, so have the choices. Direct competitors include the new Nissan Pathfinder, Isuzu Rodeo/Honda Passport, and Chevy Blazer/GMC Jimmy, as well as 6-cylinder versions of the Jeep Cherokee and Ford Explorer. All are ruggedly constructed, capable, stylish and competitively priced, and each has established a solid customer base. An all-new 1996 4Runner has been created to capitalize on the success of earlier iterations. It has much to live up to, and a few past flaws to overcome.
