2010 Toyota 4Runner Review

November 17, 2009 Vehicle reviews No Comments

2010_4runnerI took a drive in a 2010 Toyota 4Runner at the new car dealer in Waukegan, and I have to say, I was excited to see how the fifth-generation 4Runner handled herself.  Knowing how I would treat her (taking her across country from Chicago through Colorado and the Rocky Mountains on a yearly trip to Vegas), I cut her no slack, making short stops and turns.  To my surprise, she handled well, even though those at the dealership looked at me a little oddly when I yelled “look out below” and avoided a giant, imaginative chasm.  Hey, you have to see if she can put up with it. … Continue Reading
