The 2011 Toyota 4Runner is a body-on-frame sport-utility vehicle, and when it comes to saving weight, optimizing aerodynamics, and being fuel-efficient, it's not the greenest layout. But next to trucklike SUVs (and even a number of luxury crossovers), the 4Runner isn't so bad; its EPA rating of 17 mpg in the city is 1 mpg better than that of the V-6 Grand Cherokee, and better than virtually all larger trucks.

For 2011, the 4Runner has become a little less green, as Toyota has completely dropped the base four-cylinder engine from the lineup. It's no big loss, however, as the engine was offered only on entry-level rear-wheel-drive models and earned only slightly better fuel economy, at 18/23.

Conclusion

The 2011 Toyota 4Runner is not at all green for family duty. But compared to other trucks, it's one of the more fuel-efficient.
