Land crusers vrs. 4runners which engines are more durable?
Asked by mnanang Oct 28, 2012 at 10:47 AM about the 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser AWD
Question type: General
Are land cruisers more durable than 4runners? I am told the 4runner v8 uses the same engine but price difference between the two is too much.
Is an alluminium engine block as durable as Iron?

question1: both are very reliable, well engineered and rugged. 2) yes
To add. The 4runner is more of a family car, SUV, than the Land Rover, a British manufactured tank, more for a safari in Kenya than going to soccer practice
The engines in Land Cruisers and 4Runners are not the same. The Land Cruiser has a 5.7 liter V8, and the 4Runner has a 4.0 liter V6. A Land Cruiser costs about twice as much as a 4Runner. Of course the Land Cruiser is beefier and more durable than a 4Runner. You get what you pay for.
