Toyota 4Runner vs Chevy Equinox

Powertrain and Handling: 2020 4Runner

• 4.0L V6 engine: 270 horsepower, 278 lb-ft of torque
• Towing capacity: 5,000 pounds
• Transmission: 5-speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission with intelligence
• Drivetrain: RWD or AWD with A-TRAC

Let’s start our excursion with a look under the hood. What you’ll find is that the powertrain of the Toyota 4Runner is built for off-roading. It comes equipped with a 4.0L V6 engine that produces 270 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque.

This is paired with a 5-speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission with intelligence (ECT-i). The 5-speed ECT-i keeps you powering through the tough terrain while staying optimized and efficient.

These components all work together to help you tow up to 5,000 pounds.

If you’re going to be towing a hefty trailer, you might want to stick with the standard rear-wheel drivetrain (RWD) for its towing prowess. However, if you’re a frequent off-roader or beach-goer, the available part-time or full-time all-wheel drive (AWD) system may be ideal.

The AWD systems include Active Traction Control to help you keep a firm grip on the road so that you can keep moving forward. It also includes the Multi-terrain Select system and Crawl Control (CRAWL) to help optimize your handling capabilities for really rough conditions.

Interior Specs and Cargo Area

• Seats: 5 or 7
• Cargo volume: 88.8 cubic feet
• Trunk volume: 46.3 cubic feet or 9 cubic feet

Now that we’ve had a look at the under-hood area, let’s climb into the cabin to take a quick tour. Depending on your options, your cabin will have either two rows of seats or three rows. The 2-row models can seat five passengers and the 3-row models can accommodate up to seven passengers.

You’ll have plenty of room for cargo, too, with a total cargo capacity of 88.8 cubic feet. The 2nd-row seats have a fold-flat feature, too, that gives you an even load floor. Plus, the available sliding rear cargo deck helps you bring heavy cargo to you instead of having to climb into the car to grab it.

For example, if you brought a heavy cooler along to the beach, simply slide the cargo floor toward you to put the cooler within easy reach.

You’ll also have 46.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the 2nd-row seats and 9 cubic feet of cargo area behind the 3rd-row seats.

Toyota 4Runner Technology Features

Finally, let’s talk tech. The 2020 Toyota 4Runner comes standard with the Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P) suite of smart safety features, which includes:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/ PD)
• Lane Departure Alert (LDA)
• Automatic High Beams (AHB)
• Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)

These features are all designed to help you hit the road with even more awareness and confidence.

In the center stack, a standard 8-inch touchscreen display helps to keep you connected and entertained during every drive. It comes standard with connectivity features like Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Amazon Alexa.
