4Runner Caught in Camoflauge

A photo from car review site leftlanenews.com shows the 2011 4Runner out for a drive under a thick blanket of mystery.  The photo doesn’t give us tons of info, except that the body looks like it could remain very similar to the current 4Runner and the basic body-on-frame engineering will remain.  None of that is too surprising, as current model of the 4Runner is a well-liked exterior design.  Where everyone is expecting the major changes is on the interior. 

Don’t think I’m knocking the current 4Runner.  Anyone out there shopping at a Toyota Gurnee dealership for an SUV should give consideration to the 4Runner.  No matter what you are looking for in an SUV, chances are this ride will give you what you need.

I am actually an owner of a 2008 4Runner that I purchased from Toyota Libertyville dealer.  It was an easy decision for me a couple of years ago.  Other SUVs did not have what I was looking for when it came to combining errands around town with my love of rugged terrain.

Previously, Toyota had planned on producing 400,000 new 2010 Priuses per year once they are available everywhere. However, with this new increased demand, they have upped their numbers and will now be pumping out around half a million per year.
