2021 Wrangler vs 4Runner: Handling Life’s Terrain

Jeep Wrangler PerformanceWhen you’re settled behind the wheel and ready to hit the road, you want to know that your SUV has what it takes to handle whatever kind of terrain that life may throw at it. With the 2021 Jeep Wrangler and Toyota 4Runner, that’s exactly what you’ll get.

Both vehicles have an available 4-wheel drive (4WD) system that can actively adapt to your roadway conditions to improve traction control. You can also optimize your handling capability with selectable terrain settings. This feature is known as Multi-Terrain Select in the Toyota and the Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System in the Jeep.

They also both have a 270 horsepower engine that gives you plenty of power. However, when you’re trying to power through some extra muddy or sandy terrain, you may be more successful in the Wrangler. The Jeep produces 295 lb-ft of torque with its 270 horsepower engine. The Toyota, on the other hand, generates 278 lb-ft of torque with its 270 horsepower engine.

Jeep Wrangler and Toyota 4Runner: Built for Adventure

You can tell just by looking at them that both the Wrangler and 4Runner are built for adventure. They both have square bodies that stand tall for maximum water fording and obstacle tackling. They also have ways to let fresh air in.

The Toyota 4Runner has an available power sunroof over the front row of the cabin that lets even more air and sunlight stream into the cabin while you drive. The Jeep Wrangler, however, takes this a step above by making the roof a convertible.

With the Wrangler, you’ll get to choose between the Sunrider® soft top, Freedom Top® modular hardtop, or the Sky One-Touch® Power Top. You can also fold down the windshield and remove the doors.

Without similar features, you may feel more cramped inside the Toyota, which doesn’t offer as much open-air freedom as the Jeep.

Driver-Assistive Features

Jeep Wrangler FeaturesFinally, let’s talk about all the driver-assistive features these SUVs offer that can help you out whether you’re driving along paved paths or dirt roads. Both the Wrangler and 4Runner have standard and available features like:

  • Automatic high beams
  • Forward collision warnings
  • Smart cruise control

These features can all help to improve safety and driver awareness when on the main roads. What about when you head off-road, though? The 2021 Jeep Wrangler has you covered with the available forward-facing off-road camera. This turns the available 8.4-inch touchscreen in the center stack into a live camera feed of the area in front of and around your vehicle.

With the forward-facing off-road camera, you’ll be able to see upcoming obstructions and obstacles that would normally be out of view. Unfortunately, the Toyota 4Runner doesn’t offer a similar off-roading feature.
