• Engine Options: With the Jeep Wrangler, drivers can choose between a 2.0L Direct-Injection Turbo engine and a 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine, whereas the 4Runner only gives drivers the option of a 4.0L V6 5-Speed Automatic engine.

• Maximum Torque: When you buy a Jeep Wrangler, your engine can also pump out a maximum of 295 lb-ft of torque, whereas the 4Runner only delivers 278 lb-ft of torque.

• Fuel Economy: Even with its superior power, the Wrangler still gives Chicago drivers better EPA estimated MPG ratings with 23/25 (city/highway) MPG. The 4Runner delivers just 17/20 (city/highway) MPG ratings.
