The 2023 Toyota 4Runner isn’t like most of the other mid-size crossovers and SUVs that line the streets and fill suburban driveways. That’s because the 4Runner is more old-school truck than new-age car: it has a pickup-truck frame and boasts legitimate off-road chops. In its most capable forms, it has extra underbody armor, an electronic locking rear axle, upgraded suspension components, and knobby tires. Along with rear- or four-wheel drive, every model has a 270-hp V-6 and an automatic transmission. Unfortunately, that powertrain is a relic compared to those powering body-on-frame rivals such as the Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler. The Toyota’s 4.0-liter engine might be reliable, but it also reliably consumes fuel at an alarming rate. The truck’s interior has plenty of passenger and cargo space, but its cabin materials are drab. On regular roads, this truck-based SUV drives like, well, a truck: its handling feels loose, and its ride is uncouth. The 4Runner can go places many of its classmates can’t, but outside of those limited-use cases it’s undeniably antiquated.

What's New for 2023?

The 2023 model years marks the 40th anniversary of the 4Runner nameplate. To celebrate, Toyota introduces a special edition based on the entry-level SR5 model that’s limited to a production run of 4040 examples. The ’23 4Runner 40th Anniversary Special Edition comes in red, white, or black paint with tri-colored graphics on the body sides and grille. A set of bronze 17-inch wheels is also part of the package. Inside, the bronze color is repeated in the stitching on the leatherette seats and shift knob. There are also callouts to the 4Runner’s 40th birthday on the floormats, front headrests, and a couple interior badges. Also new for 2023 is standard blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert on every model.

An all-new generation of Honda’s three-row Pilot SUV is on its way for the 2023 model year and it’s been improved from grille to tailgate. The new Pilot’s styling is boxier and more truck-like this time around, which gives it a more rugged overall appearance. A 285-hp 3.5-liter V-6 and a 10-speed automatic are standard and come with either front- or all-wheel drive. The interior can be set up with room for seven or eight passengers, with upscale Touring and Elite models coming standard with a panoramic sunroof and a 12-speaker Bose stereo system. An off-road oriented TrailSport variant sits at the middle of the lineup and offers all-terrain tires on unique 18-inch wheels and tweaks to the all-wheel drive system that allow for more torque transfer to the rear wheels. When it goes on sale in December, the Pilot will be a new challenger to segment leaders such as the Kia Telluride, the Hyundai Palisade, and the Jeep Grand Cherokee L.

What's New for 2023?

The Pilot has been entirely redesigned for 2023, complete with updated styling to match the newest models in the Honda lineup, such as the smaller CR-V SUV and the Civic compact sedan and hatchback.
