The Toyota 4Runner has something of an image problem insofar as it doesn?t have one.丰田4runner牵扯一个问题就不惜形象?有一笔. A stopgap model designed to plug a hole in Toyota?s range until the Land Cruiser Colorado was introduced, the 4Runner was overshadowed by the runaway success of the Toyota RAV4.拿来模型设计堵塞漏洞丰田?直到收盘射程科罗拉多越野介绍4runner被蒙上了成功的丰田rav4失控. As a used purchase, you get all of the Land Cruiser?s attributes with a more transatlantic look at a knockdown price.作为用于申购你所有的越野?收盘属性以更加大西洋去看击倒价. Now not only can you have your cake, but you can drive straight over it as well.现在不仅可以从你蛋糕,但你可以长驱直入了呢.
HISTORY历史
Anybody who thinks Land Rover is the king of 4x4 manufacturers obviously hasn?t taken a good look at global 4x4 sales figures.有人认为越野车厂商显然是国王4-4消逝?笔采取看清楚4-4全球销售数字. They?ll show that when it comes to building rugged off-roaders, Toyota have the market taped.他们?当谈到显示当地建设凹凸不平客道路有市场丰田录制. Whilst that?s largely down to indestructible Land Cruisers and destructible RAV4s, a significant portion of this pie is accounted for by the Toyota 4Runner.虽然?收盘下跌,主要以越野车和崩解rav4s坚不可摧,这个饼很大一部分是用于丰田4runner. Big in Japan and huge in the US, the 4Runner has had a long history and continues to be one of Toyota?s mainstay brands.日本大和庞大集团在美国4runner已有悠久的历史,一直是丰田?收盘品牌为主. In this country, however, we were afforded just a minor peek, decided it wasn?t really our thing and reverted to our beloved Discoveries and Shoguns.在这个国家,但是,我们刚刚得到了一扇小、它决定.其余?笔事,我们真的发现,我们敬爱的复归shoguns.
Replacing the Land Cruiser II in November 1993, the 4Runner was offered in two guises, 141bhp 3.0-litre V6 petrol and 123bhp 3.0-litre TD turbodiesel.二取代越野1993年11月推出的两种身份是4runner,141bhp3.0升V6的汽油和123bhp3.0公升turbodiesel运输署. In October 1994, a very mild facelift resulted in a revision to the front grille, and the V6 model was discontinued in March 1995.1994年10月,是一个十分温和整容导致修改前格栅、V6导模式和1995年3月中断. At the same time the 3.0-litre turbodiesel was offered in two different guises, GS and a slightly plusher GX model.在同一时间的3.0公升turbodiesel提供两种不同的面貌,和一般微微车窗gx模式. These trim designations continued until the 4Runner was axed in May 1996 to make way for the Land Cruiser Colorado.这些浪番号一直持续到1996年54runner被开刀让路给越野科罗拉多.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The 4Runner is a muscular on or off-roader with seating for five and plenty of room for skis and equipment.4runner的是肌肉或场外路由器、五个座位空间很大滑水装备. They?re not new now and even when they were, the design had been around a while.他们?现在,即使再没有被新的设计已左右了. Nothing wrong with that, of course.无可厚非,这当然 It's just that if you?d regularly travelled in the Alps or The Rockies in the early nineties, then you might find get a sense of déjà vu from the car's chunky looks.它只是说,如果你?四定期走访或在阿尔卑斯山脉在20世纪90年代初,那么你可能找到一种似曾相识感受来自汽车的块状看起来. The 4Runner was around in other markets for quite a time but it took the UK 4x4 boom of the mid nineties and a hole in Toyota?s range to bring it here.4runner约为其他市场的相当花时间,但英国和九十年代中期蓬勃4-4个洞丰田?它的射程将这里.
The V6 petrol or 3.0-litre turbocharged powerplants, high specification and £20-23,000 price tag pitched it directly against plusher versions of Land Rover's Discovery, Isuzu's Trooper and Mitsubishi's Shogun.V6导的汽油或3.0升涡轮增压发电厂、高规格、英镑20-23,000标价定它直指车窗越野版本的发现、五十铃的老兵和三菱的丰臣秀吉. It doesn't take much market research to discover that the ever-increasing number of customers buying these fashionable off-roaders don't get them dirty very often.它并不大,市场调研发现,越来越多的顾客买这些时髦客道路往往得不到他们肮脏. No, what these people want is a stylish all-purpose carrier - a kind of glorified estate car in essence.不,他们要的是什么气派全能载波一种歌颂客车本质.
With a commanding view of the road - or the countryside - the driving position is comfortable, although you?d never accuse it of being particularly luxurious.与指挥鉴于道路还是乡村的立场是驾驶舒适、虽然你?丁指责它从未被特别奢侈. By modern standards the interior design is somewhat less than cohesive although you do get a lot of standard kit for your money - though on the entry-level GS Turbo Diesel, you obviously lack a few of the items standard on the other two petrol and diesel-powered variants.现代室内设计的标准是,你虽然有点不足凝聚力得到不少标准套你钱虽然在入门级一般柴油涡轮、你有几个明显缺乏对其他两个项目的标准汽油和柴油动力变种. These include infinitely adjustable power steering, a six-speaker radio cassette, power for the sunroof, windows and mirrors, remote control central locking and a security system with alarm and engine immobiliser.这些包括无限可调助力转向、6议长收音录音机、权力的天窗,窗户和镜子,中央遥控锁、安全报警系统、发动机防盗. Even the window in the tailgate is electrically operated.即使是电动窗栏板.
Though it can't offer the extra estate compartment seats of some of its rivals, the 4Runner does reveal itself as being a practical driving companion.虽然不能提供额外的一些地产车厢座位竞争对手、4runner是否被揭露的本身实际驾驶伴侣. Despite the ground clearance, side running boards and grab handles make getting in and out easy.尽管地面清、议会和运行方抓斗进出容易处理,使困难户. The tailgate, meanwhile, drops down to allow easy loading and unloading and if necessary, can be left open to transport exceptionally long items.栏板,同时容易掉下允许装卸必要时可以打开物品运输格外长. No need to worry about fragility either - the rear bumper is strong enough to be used as a step.不用担心脆弱彼后方保险杠是足以用作步骤.
Were the 4Runner cheaper and less luxurious, it would have competed directly with such as Vauxhall's Frontera and Ford's Maverick, a confrontation Toyota chose to abandon, undercutting them instead with its RAV4.4runner便宜的,少名贵,它直接与竞争等狂暴的边疆和福特的野牛,丰田选择了放弃对抗、反而削弱其rav4. With its macho American styling and big wheel arches, the big Toyota appeals to a certain sensibility.其造型、大车轮拱门式美洲、丰田上诉某大学问. Unlike many of its contemporaries, it seems to be ageing better, and a used 4Runner still looks tidy, in a showy sort of way, avoiding the slightly shopworn look of many more familiar 4x4 faces.它不像许多当代人,似乎对老龄更好、使用4runner仍显得整洁、在雪山样的方式,避免了许多熟悉的面貌略有承包商4-4面孔.

4Runner prices start at £3,000 for a 3.0-litre V6 on a 1994 L registration.4runner3000英镑的价格从一个3.0升V6导1994年1月注册. Later 1995 M registered examples can be found for around £4,500, which represents a lot of car for your money.1995年以后注册的例子可以发现米为4500英镑左右,占了不少车你钱.

Insurance for all models is a very reasonable Group12.所有型号的保险是一个非常合理group12.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
You probably won?t be expecting to hear that a 4Runner has a reputation for mechanical fragility, being brought to you by the same people who produced Land Cruisers and Corollas!你可能获胜?笔会期待听到一个有信誉4runner机械脆弱,你又给了同制作人、越野corollas! Sure enough, it doesn?t.果然,不惜?汤匙 The 4Runner carries forward Toyota?s reputation for reliability and excellent after-sales service.丰田4runner继承了?收盘声誉良好的可靠性和售后服务. As with any serious 4x4, check the underbody, suspension, steering and exhaust for signs of abuse, and listen for protesting differential units.正如任何严肃4-4,遏制底部,暂停,转向迹象排气虐待为抗议差别,听听单位. Buying a 4Runner for the school run is akin to using a wrecking ball to smash a nut, but where cars have been exposed to that dreaded combination of toddlers and Ribena, inspect upholstery for rips, stains or other nasties.对学校来说,买4runner俨如使用破坏球粉碎硬壳,但车已经暴露,可怕的结合和利宾纳学步,检查座垫为核糖,痣或其他nasties. Other than this, check for its service history and buy with confidence.除此之外,检查服务历史和购买信心.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(Estimated prices, based on a 1994 4Runner V6) Expect to pay around £5 for an oil filter, £20 for an air filter and £15 for a fuel filter, whilst a power steering belt is a measly £3.(估计价格的基础上,19944runnerV6导)期待支付了大约5英镑滤油器、20英镑15英镑的空气滤清器、燃油过滤器、虽然带了助力转向英镑进账3. Front brake discs are around £45 each whilst pads are only around £20 a pair.前刹车碟都英镑左右,而1945年每架只有大约20英镑一双. A font shock absorber retails at around £40, with rears only slightly less.一字形减震器零售40英镑左右,仅抚养略少. For a beefier look, you can opt for wheel arch flares at £135, headlamp protectors at £40 and for £140 you can become the scourge of your local Parent Teacher Association by fitting a wraparound bull bar.beefier一看,你可以选择在车轮拱耀斑135英镑,前照灯保护者为40英镑,在140英镑你就可以成为当地的祸害了周期性家长教师协会的防撞装置.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
The 4Runner is available with diesel or petrol power and Toyota is happy to admit that mud-pluggers with a penchant for towing boats and carrying kayaks would be better off in the diesel version.4runner刊物的汽油或柴油和电力丰田乐于承认泥pluggers与拖曳船运载爱好者伤患不如在柴油版本. With direct injection, this model produces all its power at just 3,600rpm, allowing you to lug from ridiculously low speeds.直接注射,这种模式产生的一切只是在3600RPM的权力,让你耳奇低转速. If there are compromises, then they will be ones that potential buyers will be happy to make.如果有妥协,那么他们将被认为是潜在买主乐意作. You can't expect your 4Runner to perform like the local farmer's Land Rover in the mud; it won't.你不能指望你喜欢4runner演出当地农民的越野车在泥;它不会. But then, if you were to reach the kind of limits where the difference would show, you'd probably be out of your depth anyway.但是,如果你到达那里的界限将分别表演您可能就会出深度撤走.
Off road, I can tell you that it's quite competent enough to stay with its rivals over any ploughed field or icy slope.过道我可以告诉你,这是相当胜任与其对手留下任何领域或冰雪坡种田. Beyond that, in very extreme conditions, you'd have to concede best to the more accomplished (and expensive) off roaders in the class.除此之外,在极端情况下,就得让步尽量多地完成道路客(和昂贵)的阶层. Having said that, what's the point of investing in all that extra mud-plugging ability if you're not going to use it?尽管如此,什么意思外,所有投资泥堵能力,如果你不打算使用它? What would be useful is the option to use 4WD for normal road use - so that you've added security on that twisty country road on an icy morning.什么是有用的四轮驱动供选择使用正常道路使用,使您的安全,加上国道曲折冰雪晨. As it is, the 4WD transfer lever alongside the gearstick offers an 'H4' all-wheel drive setting for reasonably low speed dirt track work with 'L4' kept in reserve for seriously slippery conditions.至于是否四轮驱动杠杆转移提供了一道gearstick'和H4各轮驱动低速设定合理的轨道与污垢'14'湿滑情况严重保留. A limited slip rear differential is standard.标准差是有限度滑动后座.
OVERALL 总体
If you like the 4Runners butch looks and the prospect of peerless mechanical reliability appeals, then the big Toyota certainly looks an intriguing proposition.如果你看起来像个男人一样辆四轮驱动车、机械可靠性前景无双上诉那么大的丰田当然显得有趣命题. With only 1,774 sold in the UK, (as opposed to over 7,500 RAV4?s sold in1996 alone) you?ll also be buying a fair degree of exclusivity.仅1774年卖给英国(相对于超过7500rav4?收盘价仅环流)你?当地也买得到公正程度排他性. Buying used makes this perceived rarity work in your favour, as the 4Runner never developed a sufficiently strong image to buoy up used prices.这使得购买使用工作视为稀罕你胜诉,由于4runner足够强大形象永远发达起来用浮标价格. You?ll certain feel you?ve got more for your money with a used 4Runner than an equivalent used Land Rover/Jeep product, but it won?t be so easy to sell on.你?当地一些感觉吗?味多了一个用你的钱,比同等4runner用越野/吉普车生产但获胜?笔会那么容易就卖. Opt for the diesel and you?ll get a relatively cheap way of having fun off road whilst avoiding punitive fuel bills.选择柴油和你?当地找到相对廉价的方式玩乐过马路,避免燃料法案惩罚. Overall, an interesting and unjustly ignored 4x4 that deserves a second chance second time round.总体而言,一个有趣而忽略4-4不公正第二次机会,值得面世.
