The good: The 2008 Toyota 4Runner comes with serious off-road gear and an innovative suspension system. As part of the Urban Runner Package, an integrated TomTom brings good MP3 playback from a USB drive along with Bluetooth phone support.

The bad: The TomTom integrated with the 4Runner is an older model, with a small screen, and it doesn’t work very well with the CD player.

The bottom line: The 2008 Toyota 4Runner works as a solid and rugged SUV, but the attempt to tech it up with an integrated portable navigation device is a kludge. The idea isn’t bad, though, and we would like to see the next version of this system.

Specs: Body style: SUV; Trim levels: Sport Edition; Available Engine: Gas
