Why should I also consider these? X

The Nissan Pathfinder is the closest match to the 2009 Toyota 4Runner; its interior trumps the Toyota's in appearance, while coming in at a lower price.

The Nissan handles well, like the 4Runner, and its base V-6 engine is especially strong, yet efficient.

The Ford Explorer now includes a full range of safety features, handles well, and is quite comfortable inside, but it doesn’t offer the off-road hardiness possible in the 4Runner.

The Durango is another potential alternative; it boasts impressive towing ability, but it’s not as off-road-focused as the 4Runner.

Compared to the 4Runner, the Chevrolet TrailBlazer (and the nearly identical GMC Envoy) feel sorely outdated, as those models lack the refinement of the 4Runner; the 4Runner also handles much more confidently than these GM vehicles and is safer.

The 4Runner's long-held reputation for reliability is an advantage it holds over these models.
