2023 Toyota Hilux Price in Nigeria, features and specifications
March 4, 2024
In the modern world of car-like crossovers, the 2024 Toyota 4Runner is proudly old-school in more ways than one. First off, Toyota hasn’t given it a full redesign since the 2010 model year, which makes this midsize SUV pretty much geriatric by automotive standards. Plus, the 4Runner is a rugged truck-based SUV, while most other models have moved on to be more car-like crossovers. Still, plenty of 4Runner buyers seem quite fine with this. Versions like the TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro are ideally suited for off-road adventures, or at least looking the part.
