TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2013 Toyota 4Runner is just as brawny as it looks off-road, yet much better than you'd probably suspect on the highway.

The 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser pairs tough trail-ready hardware with modern features and fab styling--but it's not for families or commuters.

TCC Likes

Rugged, traditional exterior
Strong, smooth V-6 powertrain
Perhaps the best Toyota truck interior

Smartly updated retro theme
Basic but stylish inside
No-excuses off-road capability

TCC Dislikes

Disappointing cargo space
Small third-row seat
Choppy highway ride (SR5)

Barely docile enough for the road
Back seat tough to enter, exit
Noise
