The instant name recognition that 4Runner has built over the past four decades is undeniable. This legend has long established itself as a North American off-road icon, ready to tackle tough terrain in its way. The all-new 2025 Toyota 4Runner stays true to its original concept, as an extremely capable, dynamic, and durable off-roader and will continue to provide owners a window to bigger worlds. The new generation introduces a bold new look and adds new technology, premium materials, options, and safety. In fact, this all-new sixth generation 4Runner raises the bar in terms of go-anywhere capability and high-end refinement. The 2025 4Runner will be built in Toyota Motor Corporation’s Tahara plant in Japan and will arrive in the U.S. in the fall of 2024. 4Runner is all-new from the ground up and is built on Toyota’s tough TNGA-F global truck platform that is shared with Tacoma, Land Cruiser, Tundra and Sequoia. This platform utilizes a high-strength boxed, steel-ladder frame and features a multi-link coil rear and double wishbone front suspension. The adoption of the innovative TNGA-F platform not only adds strength, but it also improves the vehicle’s ride comfort and on-road manners. Passengers feel the benefits of this new platform, even when riding in the available third-row. The enhanced frame, paired with the powerful i-FORCE MAX powertrain, allows 4Runner to tow up to 6,000 pounds. #automotive #car #autoblog #automotivenews #carnews #Toyota4Runner #Toyota #4Runner https://lnkd.in/gz6dcpuy

2024 Ford F-150 Tremor First Test: If you’re looking for an off-road-capable truck but don’t need the Raptor or its compromises, the 2024 Ford F-150 Tremor could be your go-to pickup. The 2024 Ford F-150 Raptor remains one of the top factory off-road trucks you can buy today. You can even go extreme and get the Raptor R with its 5.2-liter supercharged V-8 chucking out 720 hp and flying over whoops like it’s no big deal. But either version of the Raptor is a lot of truck that some buyers just don’t want or simply can’t afford. What’s the next best (and more affordable) thing if you’re looking for something with a V-8 under the hood? It’s the 2024 Ford F-150 Tremor. While it won’t take on the desert at high speeds, the 2024 F-150 Tremor is still an impressive off-road truck. It conquers small to medium bumps like they aren’t there, and it can clamber off all but the burliest terrain. That said, although its softer suspension is great for off-roading, it does lead to some extra movement; under hard braking, for example, there’s occasional side-to-side motion and a lot more dive than in more road-oriented F-150s. And the off-road tires contribute to a long 60–0-mph stopping distance of 149 feet. MotorTrend achieved their best acceleration runs with the Tremor in 2WD and “Sport” mode with all the electronic safety nets turned off. The sound of the V-8 and the squat will make you think you’re in a rocket ship, but the time slip isn’t quite as impressive as hammering the go pedal sounds and feels. From a dead stop, the Tremor’s 5.0-liter V-8 put its 400 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque toward a best 0–60-mph run of 6.4 seconds. It was able to cover the quarter mile in 14.8 seconds at 96 mph … https://lnkd.in/eGftAMcM (photo credit: MotorTrend)

Review: 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser pivots to retro charm: Simpler, more honest, smaller, more efficient, and less expensive—these things aren’t associated often with the introduction of a new vehicle. In the case of the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser, these descriptors define the reintroduction of the iconic off-roader. It’s also less powerful, though it weighs less, but in sum it’s... #car #cars #awesome
