The 2014 Toyota 4Runner has a strong 270-horsepower V6 engine that has no trouble moving this midsize SUV. This transmission is partly to blame for the 4RunnerÕs EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 17 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway, which is below average for the class.

it has incredible off-road prowess and one of the largest cargo holds in its class. Still, it gets low fuel economy. At almost a decade without a full redesign, the 4Runner's cabin is starting to look dated and cheap-feeling materials dominate. This SUV also lacks the advanced safety tech that you can get in many new vehicles.
