Advantages of the 2016 Toyota 4Runner Over the 2016 Ford Explorer

When you explore the 2016 Toyota 4Runner vs 2016 Ford Explorer, price is an important element. Budget-friendly prices are the standard for both models, though the Toyota 4Runner comes with a long list of standard features that cost extra for the Ford Explorer. With a vivid touchscreen display and access to much more through Toyota Entune, the Toyota 4Runner provides incredible value that the standard Ford Explorer cannot match.

Under the hood, the Toyota 4Runner is built around a power-packed 270-horsepower 4.0-liter V-6 that is paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. As the only engine option available for the Toyota 4Runner, car shoppers know exactly what to expect when they get behind the wheel and will not incur extra costs. Ford Explorer models employ a standard 290-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6 engine that can be upgraded to turbocharged EcoBoost variants that will significantly increase cost. Despite more horsepower, both editions possess a 5,000-pound maximum towing capacity and the Toyota 4Runner has the added advantage of a standard towing receiver.

An element that sets the Toyota 4Runner apart from its Ford competitor is a versatile and spacious interior. Stock Toyota 4Runner models make room for five passengers and an available third-row bench seat can be added to increase passenger capacity to seven. Behind the second-row, the Toyota 4Runner possesses an expansive 47.2 cubic feet of cargo space that expands to a cavernous 89.7 cubic feet with seats laid flat. In terms of versatility and cargo space, the 2016 Toyota 4Runner provides a distinct advantage over the 2016 Ford Explorer.
