If you ask your buddy out of the blue to name a Toyota SUV, chances are they’ll say the 4Runner. After all, this is the one that has proved itself for decades as something infinitely usable on a daily basis, and something that comes with a very endearing sense of adventure. They may not think of naming the Grand Highlander, as this tends to be far less romantic. While it’s a very solid and productive vehicle, it doesn’t seem to trade on heritage in quite the same way as the 4Runner.
