2016 Toyota 4Runner vs 2016 Jeep Wrangler

Differences Between the 2016 Toyota 4Runner and 2016 Jeep Wrangler

Power and performance count for a lot when you hit the trail and both the Toyota 4Runner and Jeep Wrangler will check that box. A standard 270-horsepower 4.0-liter V-6 engine will propel the 4Runner through tough terrain while Jeep Wrangler editions employ a 285-horsepower 3.6-liter V-6. Although the Jeep Wrangler possesses a slight advantage in terms of pure power, a stronger and more capable design means the Toyota 4Runner provides a greater towing capacity.

What sets the Toyota 4Runner apart in this 2016 Toyota 4Runner vs 2016 Jeep Wrangler comparison is a more versatile interior design. Standard 4Runner trim levels make room for five passengers in a spacious cabin that can add a third row and increase passenger capacity to seven. Stock two-door Jeep Wrangler models provide seating for four passengers in a cramped backseat. Upgrading to the four-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited provides a more spacious cabin that still only makes room for five.

In the same vein, the Toyota 4Runner possesses a distinct advantage in cargo capacity. A spacious cabin offers an astounding 47 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row that can expand to a massive 89.7 cubic feet when you need more room. Standard Jeep Wrangler models offer a miniscule 12.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats and Wrangler Unlimited models max out at 70.6 cubic feet. If you are heading to a remote campsite and need room for camping gear, the 2016 Toyota 4Runner checks all the boxes.
