I got to spend some time behind the wheel of the 2020 Toyota 4 Runner Nightshade. I loved the appearance, features, technology, and driving dynamics. I have had a chance to drive this Nightshade across the state of Maryland and parts of West Virginia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed the experience and was impressed by its capabilities. The 4Runner is capable of towing 5000 lbs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It features a 4.0-liter V6 engine that makes 270 horsepower and 278-pound feet of torque. It is mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I really liked the premium JBL audio 15 speakers with the subwoofer and amplifier. I’m an audiophile and musician so the sound quality is important to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I use my new song with the students at Carnegie Mellon, Paradise<\/a> to evaluate the sound quality. The Nightshade is also Android Auto and Apple Carplay compatible. It has many USB ports including 2.1-amp ports for fast charging. It also comes standard with Toyota safety features. Safety sense, pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning all come standard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The driving dynamics were sturdy and trucklike. The 4Runner shares a platform with the Tacoma pickup. For a more carlike ride, one should look at the Highlander. The model I drove also had 3 rows of seating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the great sound system and safety features, the Nightshade I drove also has Toyota’s Alexa integration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the Nightshade Edition, you get 20 in black alloy wheels. You also get several black accents including bumpers, door handles, and rocker panels. I also love the smoked-out taillight look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The model I drove came in Magnetic Grey Metallic. You can also order the Nightshade in Midnight Black Metallic, and Blizzard Pearl for a $425 option. The base price of this model is $46,725. It gets an EPA rated 19 MPG on the highway. For more information visit www.toyota.com<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
