Toyota 4Runner plays it safe and is ready for adventure

There are two things I look for in a vehicle. One, I must be able to enjoy my outdoor adventures, so I need a vehicle that can take me to those remote trailheads and beyond. Secondly, I need a vehicle that will get me to the 0ff-road part of my journey safely while on the pavement and keep me safe while working my way through terrain.

Fortunately for me and all those other outdoor adventurers, the new Toyota 4Runner fits this description. After test-driving one at my Staten Island new Toyota dealer, I was sold. The 2010 Toyota NJ 4Runner I test drove provided the same excellent high ground clearance the model has been known for, a must for an off-road vehicle.

The Trail Model is everything it promises and more, implementing its Adaptive Terrain Management System to keep footing sure on the most unsure ground. Below is a nice video explanation of the Multi-Terrain Selector, which keeps the 4Runner actively seeking the best settings for its current conditions:

And what about the safety side of things? The 4Runner includes 12 airbags as well as Toyota’s Safety Connect system, which offers emergency response, turn-by-turn directions, and more. It’s nice to know emergency response is just a button away within your vehicle when you’re far from civilization. And while I consider myself an expert navigator when off in the middle of nowhere, I’m sure the turn-by-turn directions would come in handy for me on the roads. The wilderness is just easier to navigate!

If you’re looking to upgrade your outdoor experience or just need a luxury SUV that offers ultimate safety for you and your family, head over to your Staten Island and Weehawken new Toyota dealer, Hudson Toyota, for a test drive.
