hich consists of rugged body-on-frame construction and chunky, macho-outdoor styling cues, the 2011 Toyota 4Runner doesn't always have the ideal makings on the mainstream family vehicle-especially if it is fuel economy or all-out comfort or space-efficiency that you simply value.

Yet for all those really who require a truck, it's among the finest picks, with strong safety, a high-quality interior, plus a good pair of features and options which might be geared toward individuals that really need a truck, yet want comforts. And so, it's a 7 from 10 on FamilyCarGuide's scale.

Many former versions with the 4Runner definitely acted part of suburban family vehicle, with running boards, fancy wheels, and lots of brightwork. But with the newest 4Runner, which was introduced in 2010, Toyota has taken a little step in the exact opposite direction, differentiating it better looking at the own Highlander crossover and concentrating on packages and presentation that interests those who tow, haul equipment, or decide to use the mountains or trails around the weekend.

But also for families nobody do need to have a truck-to pull the boat in the market to the dock each summer weekend, or get up that rutted tail for mountain-climbing adventures-the 4Runner has a great balance quite nicely. The 270-horsepower 4.0-liter V-6 is loaded with lots of torque and responds well for highway passing while using five-speed automatic. It steers and handles more precisely, and although it's no expensive car it sports ths road using a more stable, planted feel than most body-on-frame utes. It flips forward easily though to be expanded the cargo floor, along with the second-row seatback, which is up to scratch for adults, can recline or fold forward. Interior materials are rugged-looking but comfortable and impressive, and also the 4Runner has done well in IIHS safety tests.

Off-road families will need to go with the Trail model, that literally brings a host of features that will help make the most of the 4Runner's 4WD system and sturdy off-road-worthy construction. A Multi-Terrain Select system and Crawl Control assist in keeping it safe and manageable. Meanwhile, individuals that plan to make it on the road but plan heavy towing would want to get the top-lux Limited model, featuring its electronically adjusting dampers.
