2011 4Runner in Portland, ME

The 2011 Toyota 4Runner is a mid-size sport utility vehicle that combines true off-road competence with everyday driving comfort, refinement and safety. Your Portland Toyota dealer would love to invite you to have a test-drive on the wheels of this formidable SUV.

Find this SUV at Berlin City Toyota and we informe you that it can be ordered with a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine featuring VVT-i, available as part of the 4×2 SR5 model. The DOHC 16-valve 2.7 makes 157 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. It comes mated to a four-speed automatic transmission with 2.80:1 first gear and 0.753 overdrive 4th. The 2.7 delivers 18 city/23 highway mpg.

A more powerful V6 maximizes the truck’s capabilities by offering more power and torque. The 4.0-liter engine offers 34 horsepower more than the prior V6, and 10 horsepower more than the optional V8 of the previous generation. That comes to a grand total of 270 hp and 278 lb-ft of torque. The V6 4Runner achieves an EPA-estimated 19 mpg combined, an improvement of more than five percent. With the new 4.0-liter engine, maximum towing capacity is 5,000 pounds.

The SUV is available in three variations: the top-of-the-line Limited, the base SR5, and the off-road-oriented Trail grade. SR5 and Trail 4×4 models have a two-speed lever-operated, part-time four-wheel-drive system with neutral position, while the 4Runner Limited is equipped with full-time, four-wheel-drive with a locking center differential and employs a three-mode, center console-mounted switch. The new 4Runner is also equipped with a stronger rear differential over the previous model, thanks to a gear ring that has increased in size from 7.87 to 8.18 inches.

For improved on-road performance, visit your Portland Toyota dealer and ask for the Limited grade that comes standard with an X-REAS suspension system that automatically adjusts the damping force of shocks when driving over bumpy surfaces, or when cornering.

To enhance grip, the A-TRAC system is now standard equipment on all 4×4 models. The system can distribute driving force to any one wheel in contact with the ground, making terrain irregularities and slippery patches transparent to the driver.

The Trail package offers Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) as an option. KDSS improves terrain-following ability by disconnecting stabilizer bars to allow for more axle travel, and better suspension articulation in slow uneven terrain.

The cabin has been redesign with better materials and improved aesthetics. Both leather and cloth upholstery are available. More cargo space is available due to the fold-flat second-row rear seats, which do not require removal of the headrest for rearrangement. For models with three rows of seats, the third row seats are split 50/50, and they fold flat to allow the seatback to become the floor of the luggage compartment. Another convenience feature is an available pull-out cargo deck that is capable of carrying up to 440 pounds of weight. The cargo deck slides out to make loading heavy items easier.
