2019 Jeep Wrangler vs. 2019 Toyota 4Runner

With a rich history of reliability and quality, both Jeep and Toyota each have a loyal following of off-road drivers. But which is a better fit for you around Gadsden, whether you’re heading to Huntsville attractions or trails, or you’re looking to make a statement at the best restaurants in Albertville? Let’s examine both in detail, and see whether the 2019 Jeep Wrangler vs. Toyota 4Runner fits your unique needs in price, performance, and capability.

Price

If price is your top concern with regard to Wrangler vs. 4Runner, the former is the clear pick, with the 2019 Jeep Wrangler coming in at almost $7,000 less:

• 2019 Jeep Wrangler: Entry-level MSRP of $28,045

• 2019 Toyota 4Runner: Entry-level MSRP of $34,910

Engine Power and Efficiency

When it comes to performance, both vehicles offer great stats. But once again, the Jeep outmatches Toyota on Huntsville drives:

• Engine Options: Jeep drivers get their pick of a 2.0L Direct-Injection Turbo or 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine, while 4Runner drivers only have the 4.0L V6 5-Speed Automatic available.

• Maximum Horsepower: The Wrangler achieves 285 hp while Toyota only delivers 270.

• Maximum Torque: 295 lb-ft comes with the Jeep Wrangler, compared to 278 lb-ft with the 4Runner.

• Fuel Economy: Despite delivering more power, the Jeep still earns better fuel economy with an EPA-estimated maximum 23/city and 25/hwy MPG. The Toyota 4Runner offers only an EPA-estimated 17/20 city/hwy MPG.

Off-Road Features

It’s tough to beat a Trail Rated® Jeep, and the 4Runner is no exception when it comes to off-road accessories and 4×4 systems. Fort Payne drivers will definitely appreciate:

• Trail Rated® Badge: This badge proves that your Jeep Wrangler configuration has been tested in articulation, ground clearance, water fording, maneuverability, and traction.
• Tow Hooks: Forged steel frame-mounted tow hooks are perfect for helping out a vehicle that can’t handle the terrain.
• Dana® 44 Axles: Heavy-duty axles on the Wrangler handle even the most strenuous Fort Payne trails.
