Like the Land Cruiser, it delivers the off-roader feels the way few modern crossovers do. The 4Runner is well-built, capable, and exceptionally cool-looking. Recently, I drove the new-for-2020 Toyota 4Runner Venture Special Edition, a trim designed for venturing out into the world…and, yes, looking cool and trendy while doing so.

It brings enough of an update to the off-road 4Runner and keeps it relevant. Whether a noun, as in going on a mountain-climbing venture or as a verb as in venture off the road, this special edition 4Runner lives up to its name. That seemed disappointing, especially considering how expensive fuel is right now. In a week’s worth of on-the-road, suburban driving, I averaged only 17 mpg.

It has all the amenities you could want integrates with smart phones through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Toyota’s infotainment and technology proves to be good in its simplicity. Other niceties inside include a power tilt/slide moonroof with sunshade, SoftTex trimmed seats and heated front seats. With black TRD lettering on the headrests and all-season floormats, the 4Runner feels refreshed. Inside, once again the 4Runner shows its age, but also offers just enough newness with the Venture special edition touches. The 4Runner is comfortable off the road, and on the road, those rugged mannerisms show themselves. With the Yakima tires, it’s an even bumpier performance. The 4Runner has a tall posture so it offers a great vantage point for the driver, but it also drives more like a pickup truck than your typical SUV or crossover. Four-wheel drive is available and expected for a vehicle designed to go off the road. Additionally, the five-speed automatic transmission feels outmatched and outdated. All in all, the 4Runner’s engine is wholly utilitarian. It does its job but offers neither thrills nor refinement. But if you’re looking for exhilaration, you will be disappointed. It’s good, adequate power from one of Toyota’s most solid engines. The RAV4 is powered by a 4.0-liter V6 engine that’s good for 270 horsepower and 278 lb./ft.
