Toyota has made the wise choice to keep the same powertrain in the 2019 4Runner that has been used in previous versions. Under the hood is a 4.0-liter, V-6 engine that is attached to a five-speed automatic transmission. Colonial Toyota customers will be able to choose among rear-wheel, part-time or full-time four-wheel-drive drivetrains. All trim grades will produce 270 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque. It is true that the 2020 Kia Telluride uses a slightly more powerful V-6 engine of its own. However, the fact that both vehicles have a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds and that the 4Runner is better in mud, sand and snow, any performance disparities likely will not matter to most future buyers.
