2021 Toyota 4Runner vs. 2021 Ford Explorer in Dothan, AL
2021 Toyota 4Runner
vs 2021 Ford Explorer
As a reputable off-road champion, the 4Runner has earned its place as the favorite, rugged midsize SUV in the market today. And now with the release of its latest model year, you’ll take on the untamable with the 2021 Toyota 4Runner at your command, conquering city traffic in style or dominating rough terrain with ease. From the plethora of accessories available to add to your 4Runner to the generous supply of features that come standard, there’s plenty to rave about to your pals (and they can come along for the ride, too). With the 2021 Toyota 4Runner, utility and style combine in an entirely new way.
But stacked up against an American-made classic, will the 4Runner hold its own? Let’s see. The 2021 Ford Explorer is another iconic SUV that many drivers love, so we’ve paired these two formidable vehicles together for a little competition:
2021 Toyota 4Runner | 2021 Ford Explorer | |
|---|---|---|
Standard Engine | 4.0-liter V6 with VVT-i | 2.3-liter EcoBoost® |
Available AWD System |  | |
Standard LED Fog Lamps | |  |
Available Yakima® MegaWarrior Cargo Basket | | |
Available Cargo Area 40-qt. Premium Accessory Cooler with Tie-Down Straps | | |
Best Available Audio System | Premium Audio System with | B&O Sound System with |
Fox® High-Performance Shocks with Rear Remote Reservoirs | | |
Even though it’s Built Ford Tough®, the 2021 Ford Explorer doesn’t really stack up. Sure, both models have a full-time all-wheel drive system available, but that’s where the comparison stops. With a massive yet efficient standard engine, the 2021 Toyota 4Runner has the capability you need, where you need it. With a Yakima® MegaWarrior cargo basket available, you can bring even more along (think sleeping bag, tent, hiking gear, etc.). And with a cargo area 40-quart premium accessory cooler with tie-down straps available, your choice of beverage can extend past the cold creek water. Entertainment, too, is a strength that the 4Runner boasts. Try the available 15-speaker JBL® audio system (three more speakers than the Explorer’s B&O Sound System) for a good time, or the Fox® high-performance shocks with rear remote reservoirs — available on the TRD trim — that will carry you over even the most unforgiving terrain.
