Toyota 4Runner vs Nissan XTerra

If you are in the market for an SUV then you know that there are a ton of options out there. Two of the most popular SUVs on the market are the Nissan Xterra and the Toyota 4Runner. Both of these SUVs are good vehicles, but which one is the BEST vehicle? Let’s take a look at both of them and find out!

Engine

Both of these SUVs are equipped with 4.0-liter V6 engines, but the specs are different. The Nissan Xterra’s standard engine produces 261 horsepower. The Toyota 4Runner’s standard engine does a little better with 270 horsepower.

Space

Storage can be one of the main factors one considers when purchasing an SUV. The Nissan Xterra can accommodate up to 36.3 cubic ft. of luggage without compromising passenger seating, and it has a maximum cargo capacity of 65.7 cubic ft. The Toyota 4Runner has 47.2 cubic ft. of space without compromising passenger seating, and it boasts an amazing 89.7 cubic ft. of cargo space. Clearly, the winner here is the Toyota 4Runner.

Technology

Both of these SUVs come with an auxiliary input jack, Bluetooth wireless capability, and air conditioning (an obvious necessity during Alabama summers!) If you want a few more amenities, the Toyota 4Runner offers a backup camera, heated exterior mirrors, and fog lamps. These small upgrades can make for a big difference in your driving experience.
