Drivers around Kent, Akron, and Bedford, are on the hunt for an SUV to help them take unforgettable getaways. The 2022 Jeep Wrangler and 2022 Toyota 4Runner are two desirable options, but which one is better suited to your specific needs?
To help you answer this question, the team at Klaben Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM put together a comparison of the Wrangler and the 4Runner. Read on to see what sets these rides apart!

When selecting your next SUV, you need your ride to be as daring as you are.
With the following powertrain selections in the 2022 Jeep Wrangler, you’ll be able to find your ideal blend of power:
|
HORSEPOWER
|
TORQUE
|
|
|---|---|---|
| 3.6L Pentastar® V6 | 285 hp | 260 lb-ft |
| 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 | 260 hp | 442 lb-ft |
| 2.0L Turbo | 270 hp | 295 lb-ft |
| 6.4L HEMI® V8 | 470 hp | 470 lb-ft |
You won’t have the option to choose your powertrain with the Toyota 4Runner, though, since it only comes with one standard engine. Plus, it tops out at just 270 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque.
The Wrangler is also the more efficient SUV with a base EPA-estimated 17 city/23 highway MPG. You’ll want to stay closer to a gas station with the 4Runner, though, since its gas engine only has an EPA-estimated 16 city/19 highway MPG.
If you’re looking to maximize your MPG with a diesel engine option, you’ll only find one in the Wrangler. It gets an EPA-estimated 22 city/29 highway MPG, which will help you stray far from civilization on your next trek.
The 2022 Jeep Wrangler and Toyota 4Runner are ready for whatever you throw their way with 4-wheel drive (4WD) systems, creating stability through uneasy road conditions.
The Wrangler, however, takes capability to the next level by offering multiple 4×4 systems for you to choose from:
- Command-Trac® 4×4 System
- Selec-Trac® Full-Time 4×4 System
- Rock-Trac® 4×4 System
When the road gets more challenging, turn to available off-road cruise control systems on these SUVs for complete confidence on the trickiest of trails.
Your next off-road trek may still be easier in the Wrangler, thanks to the available Off-Road+. When engaged, this system automatically deciphers the type of terrain you’re encountering and adjusts your throttle, traction control, and transmission to match.
The 4Runner doesn’t offer a feature like this, so you may not be able to optimize your off-road experience.
The biggest aspect that sets these two SUVs apart is their appearance. Since its debut in 1986, the Wrangler has been known for its unique exterior.
You’ll have the open-air freedom of several top options, including:
- Sky 1-Touch® Power Top
- Sunrider® Soft Top
- Freedom Top® 3-Piece Hardtop
You can remove the top entirely––along with the doors and you can fold down the windshield––to experience a unique open-air drive that allows you to engage more with your off-road trek.
On the other hand, the Toyota 4Runner only features an available moonroof. While it will let in some sunlight on beautiful summer days, it’s not the same experience as removing the top entirely and feeling a fresh breeze.
One look at the 2022 Jeep Wrangler and Toyota 4Runner and you know these rides rule the road. With high stances and rugged body construction, they let you know they’re ready for adventure.
The 4Runner rises off the ground with 9.6 inches of ground clearance, helping you sail over rocks and small branches in your path. If you really want to crawl over boulders, though, you’ll probably prefer the 10.8 inches of ground clearance that the Wrangler has to offer.
Now that you’ve seen how the 2022 Jeep Wrangler and Toyota 4Runner fare when they go head-to-head, you may be interested in learning more about the Wrangler.
