2010 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V-6 Four-Wheel Drive
What it Is: A mid-size four-wheel drive sport utility vehicle with an optional third row.
What's Hot: Optional third row of seats.
What's Not: Tiny cargo area behind third row.
Family Friendly Options: Navigation, backup camera, sliding rear cargo deck.
How It Got Its Score: The 2010 Toyota 4Runner V-6 is scored without the third row, since it's an option. The huge standard cargo area works in the 4Runner's favor, as does its relatively low price.
If you and your family like hitting the dusty trail and exploring new paths in the wilderness, then a four-wheel drive SUV like the 2010 Toyota 4Runner is just the ticket. The 4Runner can be equipped as seriously as you can make any four-wheel drive off-roader, including a special Trail package that includes things like water-resistant fabric, traction control that's calibrated to off-road duty and a plethora of other off-road options. If you want four-wheel drive without the hard-core stuff, the 4Runner Limited adds luxury like leather upholstery. Optional is a third row, which is great if you need to occasionally carry more than five, but the cargo area behind the third row is tiny, only 9.0 cu.-ft. Without the third row, cargo space is 47.2 cu.-ft., and the available sliding cargo tray helps make loading and unloading easier.
