2014 TOYOTA 4RUNNER: NEW TAKE ON OLD SCHOOL - UPDATED 4RUNNER WILL KEEP LOYALISTS HAPPY

摘要

AND THEN THERE WAS - WELL, one less. With the announcement that Toyota won't be building the odd-but-endearing FJ after the 2014 model year, there will be one less traditional body-on-frame SUV. Once upon a time, that's pretty much all there was. For those loyalists, Toyota has updated its venerable 4Runner for 2014, guaranteeing it at least a few more years carrying the torch at the front of a diminished field. Not long ago, we thought of body-on-frame vehicles as being heavier, more rugged and superior off-road, but truckish and rougher-riding. Unibody models were considered more carlike, hence more comfortable, but less capable on serious trails.
