vs 2021 Ford Explorer in Albertville, AL

The 2021 Toyota 4Runner loves a challenge. Undaunted by uneven surfaces and rough trails, this capable 4Runner is prepared for your next off-roading excursion. Equipped with a powerful engine and available AWD, this full-size SUV simply thrives in the wild. But as tough as it is in capability, it offers plenty of creature comforts you’ll appreciate as you explore the great outdoors. And when it comes to safety, standard Toyota Safety Senseâ„¢ P rides along, whether you’re on or off road.

While the Explorer does offer LED fog lights on higher trims, they’re not included on its base trim. The 4Runner, on the other hand, offers this helpful feature on every trim. And when you need more space for your gear, you’ll appreciate the Yakima® MegaWarrior Cargo Basket that’s available on the 4Runner — not an option on the Explorer. The Explorer also doesn’t offer the windshield wiper de-icer (which you’ll appreciate in winter weather) and available cargo area 40-quart premium accessory cooler with tie-down straps (an extra perk when you want to bring along your favorite refreshments). The 4Runner also has the advantage in sound system since it offers a few more speakers than the Explorer. Are you ready to give the 4Runner a go?
