4Runner
2014

Toughness unleashed. The legend lives on.
When all the other SUVs went soft, the new 2014 Toyota 4Runner stayed tough. With its ferocious beast of a body-on-frame,
it’s the perfect companion to the brave souls who venture into the wild. Designed to feel comfortable no matter how rugged
things are outside, the meaning of “point of no return” vanishes when you’re in a 4Runner. This is a new opportunity to go
not where the road lets us, but where our hearts want to go.

“4Runner is all packed up,
we’ve got our coffee and
our adventure planned out.
Let’s do this.”
Just add adventure;
getting there is not
a prob em.
Where others think they’ve gone too far, the journey for the 2014 4Runner just begins. Every inch has
been built with off-road ability in mind. Underneath the aggressive exterior and striking new front end lies
a reinforced body-on-frame construction. Inside, the new Entune™Audio system and a spacious interior
keep everyone feeling comfortable, no matter how rugged it is outside. And a heritage of over 25 years of
conquering the unexplored is a testament to 4Runner’s reliability, on and off the road. The road may have
ended, but our trip has just begun. Let’s go places.

1. Extra-cost color.

4Runner incorporates rugged body-on-frame construction and is equipped with skid plates to help protect the
engine, front suspension and fuel tank (and the transfer case on 4x4 models). Featuring independent double-
wishbone front/4-link and coil-spring rear suspension, 4Runner’s chassis is a time-tested combination that’s
tough enough for the trail, smooth enough for the city.
The last of its kind. True to heritage
body-on-frame construction.
DIAL-TYPE TRANSFER CASE
With 4Runner’s available dial-type transfer
case on SR5 and Limited, you can switch
into low range for extreme low-speed
off-road conditions with the turn of a dial.
Taking on hard conditions is that easy.
APPROACH WITH CONFIDENCE
4Runner encourages you to take on the toughest trails.
Up to 9.6 inches of ground clearance, an approach angle
on 4Runner Trail of 33 degrees and a departure angle of
26 degrees help keep the adventure going.
LEVER-TYPE TRANSFER CASE
4WD vehicles require a system to
transfer power from the transmission
to all four wheels. 4Runner Trail has
a lever-type transfer case that allows
you to easily switch to low range to
help clear the roughest challenges.
Capability

Trail shown in Barcelona Red Metallic with available rigid running boards.

Nature is full of unexpected surprises, and only those who anticipate them are ready to endure them. 4Runner is built
to conquer the toughest of these. Available Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS)allows each wheel to respond to
the terrain separately. Crawl Control (CRAWL)1assists the driver in determining an optimal combination of low speed
and traction. Hill Start and Downhill Assist Control (HAC/DAC)2, 3 assist the driver with braking on uphill and rough downhill
situations. Thanks to these, even the meanest obstacles are just another story to laugh over at the campfire.
Out here, lesser vehicles are an
endangered species.
Capability
4,700-LB. TOWING CAPACITY4
WITH TOW HITCH
4Runner’s powerful engine lets you tow
up to 4,700 lbs. so your toys can get to
all the places you’ve dreamed of going.
4Runner is also SAE J2807-compliant,
the standard for tow ratings set by the
Society of Automotive Engineers, SAE.
MULTI-TERRAIN SELECT
Available Multi-terrain Select allows
you to choose from four modes that
will regulate wheelspin by adjusting
the engine throttle setting and braking
pressure to provide you with maximum
traction on various off-road situations.
LOCKING REAR DIFFERENTIAL
To help you negotiate uncertain terrain, 4Runner Trail
has an electronically controlled locking rear differential
that distributes engine power evenly to both rear wheels,
so they move at the same speed, even if one is off the
ground. It also ensures a predictable output to help you
maintain a controlled pace over obstacles.

No conference calls. Just
connecting with nature,
and my friends.”

A redesigned interior trim and new panel shape give you total control of 4Runner. Traction, power, temperature,
available navigation1and a lot more are just a turn of a knob, touch on a screen or voice-command away.
Take the reins, set the mood,
choose a destination, and charge on.

of a handle, and the engine starts with
a push of a button. That easy.

While your many adventures have earned you a bold reputation, you’re not a danger seeker. Neither are we. That’s
why we’ve equipped the 2014 4Runner with an array of active and passive safety features. The standard Star Safety
System™is designed to help you avoid trouble. Our rigorous crash testing has helped us develop a comprehensive
occupant protection system that features eight standard airbags,
1should trouble prove unavoidable.
The peace of mind you need
to enjoy the peace of nature.

Safety
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM4
Proper tire pressure is important not only
for good handling and fuel economy, but for
your safety. 4Runner’s standard Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS) evaluates the
pressure of the tires and issues a warning if
the pressure becomes critically low.
INTEGRATED BACKUP CAMERA3DISPLAY
When backing up, the area visible to the camera is displayed on the
touch-screen display. 4Runner’s available front and rear parking assist
sonar beeps to tell you how close the bumpers are from an object.
The faster it beeps, the closer it is.
