2012 Toyota 4Runner SR5 – Bulletproof 4.0L V6, Premium Tan Leather Interior, Patented Power Rear Liftgate Window & HomeLink Universal Transceiver

Hertel Auto Group is pleased to offer this exceptionally clean, mechanically legendary 2012 Toyota 4Runner SR5 2WD. Custom-engineered to balance relentless weekend exploration with a commanding street presence, this premier body-on-frame SUV represents the absolute pinnacle of traditional body-on-frame utility and bulletproof Japanese engineering reliability. Tailored directly for the active lifestyle explorer who demands uncompromising utility alongside a spacious cabin footprint, rugged cargo flexibility, and the classic styling required to secure a perfect weekend camping, dog-friendly, and cross-country road trip setup, this timeless deep Black jewel transitions everyday highway commuting into an elite exploration experience. By matching Toyota's legendary 4.0L high-output V6 power with premium interior comfort upgrades, this clean 4Runner replaces high-overhead, fragile crossover vehicles with a forward-thinking personal asset that outdoor adventurers and families can confidently rely on for daily carpools and backcountry trailing alike.

Beneath its striking Black panels sits an incredibly efficient, high-output 4.0L 24-Valve V6 engine paired with a heavy-duty 5-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission to deliver instantaneous throttle response and historic powertrain durability. This legendary powertrain configuration manages heavy daily travel pipelines concurrently by pushing a commanding 270 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of brute torque directly to the rear wheels, providing a crisp, linear acceleration profile that leaps seamlessly ahead of highway traffic. Built to absorb rough pavement vibration tracks cleanly while running completely cool under blazing Texas summer heat signatures, the smooth rear-wheel-drive chassis layout works in perfect synchronization with a rugged independent double-wishbone front suspension, continuous traction stability tracking (VSC), and an advanced Hill Start Assist Control (HAC) parameter to guarantee total vehicle longevity from day one. Utilizing its robust truck-based platform, this mid-size force is rated to pull heavy weekend camping trailers with complete confidence.

Step inside the cabin sanctuary to discover an ultra-clean, highly intuitive environment configured to provide ultimate driver focus, absolute utility, and total daily comfort. The interior features premium, durable tan leather upholstery contouring both rows, pairing beautifully with dedicated second-row rear climate vents to keep passengers and dogs instantly refreshed. The primary lifestyle center point is Toyota's patented power roll-down rear liftgate window—an exceptional cargo feature that drops completely down at the press of a button to allow effortless gear loading and unmatched cabin airflow on the open trail. From the integrated HomeLink Universal Garage Door Opener that syncs smoothly with home security setups to the multi-adjustable bucket seats, every square inch of this truck minimizes travel friction and maximizes weekend adventure utility with complete functional composure.
