The vehicle with V6 engine included an advanced rear differential system which enhanced both its off-road capabilities and performance quality. The 1989 release of the 4Runner brought bigger dimensions and stretched wheelbase which created more seat space for passengers to enhance their comfort. Modular headlamps and one-piece bumpers became standard equipment on the Toyota 4Runner when the vehicle introduced its design in the early 1990s separate from the Hilux chassis platform.
