The Toyota 4Runner is for the thrill seekers. It's rugged, aggressive, and up to take on any terrain with its iconic front grille and tough body lines. With off-road features like the TRD Pro, the 4Runner tackles tough terrain with high-clearance and skid plates to protect undercarriage components. Roof rails as an option give utility for carrying extra gear.
The Chevrolet Traverse is sleek and fashionable with a more refined interpretation of SUV design. It's not meant for hard off-road driving but has an upscale, family-oriented look with a wide stance and chrome trim. The Traverse rides on standard 18-inch wheels, but the higher trims have 20-inch alloys for a more upscale look.
The Toyota 4Runner takes the win for off-road capability, but the Chevrolet Traverse offers a more polished look for city driving.
The Toyota 4Runner is powered by a 4.0L V6 engine producing 270 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque, giving it the muscle to handle off-road adventures and heavy towing. With an available 4WD system, the 4Runner is ready for rugged trails and tough terrains.
The Traverse comes with a 3.6L V6 engine that produces 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. This engine is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission, delivering a smooth ride with impressive on-road handling. While the Traverse is more focused on city driving, it still offers respectable towing capability.
