Toyota has a long history of making strong and reliable off-road vehicles. Now, with new versions of their famous SUVs, people are wondering: which one is better? The Toyota 4Runner and the Toyota Land Cruiser are both tough SUVs with great 4-wheel-drive systems. But the Land Cruiser has always been Toyota’s top SUV, so many think it’s better than the 4Runner. That’s mostly true with the new versions, but there are some important things to consider.

The new Land Cruiser has a hybrid engine and a full-time 4WD system. This means it’s designed to give you better grip and traction, both on and off the road.

On the other hand, the new 4Runner has a regular gasoline engine and a part-time 4WD system. This system isn’t meant for use on regular roads, especially in dry conditions. But if you get a higher trim level, you can get the same hybrid engine and full-time 4WD system as the Land Cruiser.

There’s a video that goes into detail about the differences between these two 4WD systems. It talks about their strengths and weaknesses. But when it comes down to it, the Land Cruiser’s full-time 4WD system is the winner. It gives owners the most options and the best traction, no matter where they’re driving.
