See How the Toyota 4Runner Stacks Up Against the Competition

2019 rav4

The Toyota 4Runner has long been a popular choice among Gettysburg and Shippensburg drivers thanks to its combination of off-road capability, cargo space, and standard features. With so many auto manufacturers making a move on the SUV market, the competition is fierce. With that said, it's a big deal that the Toyota 4Runner has been able to outclass its competition with regularity.

At Fitzgerald Toyota Chambersburg, we want all our customers to make the right choice every time, so we put the 4Runner up against its fiercest competition with an in-depth comparison. In the end, the rugged midsize SUV came out on top.

The Toyota 4Runner vs. The Ford Explorer

The Ford Explorer is a renowned midsize SUV for a wide variety of reasons, which made it the perfect testbed to prove the 4Runner's dominance.

A Better Approach to Engineering

While the Explorer and the 4Runner may feature standard rear-wheel-drive and compete for similar markets, they both do things quite differently when it comes to engineering. In the end, the 4Runner's body-on-frame design holds up a lot better as the miles pour on compared to the Explorer's car-based, unibody construction.

Interior

One of the main perks of buying or leasing an SUV is the increase in interior space and cargo capacity, particularly compared to a sedan. The 4Runner proves to be the better model in this regard, as it features a grand total of 89.7 cubic feet of cargo space compared to the Explorer's 87.8 cubic feet.

Unique Features

The 4Runner also comes with a pair of unique features that you won't find in the Ford Explorer – an available rear sliding deck and a power rear glass window. Both make loading and unloading the Toyota 4Runner much easier than with the Ford Explorer.
