2018 Toyota 4Runner vs. 2018 GMC Acadia

One of the frustrations we hear all the time from potential customers is that there's so much information on so many models and trims, that it can be difficult to separate the vital information from the rest. We understand these concerns and hope these research pages help to alleviate some of that frustration with car buyers. In these pages, we try to highlight what we think are the most important specs and features of vehicles so customers can make the most informed choice when it comes to car buying.

For this example, we're going to be comparing two of the most popular SUVs available today: the 2018 Toyota 4Runner and the 2018 GMC Acadia. Both SUVs come from brands with strong reputations for reliable and high-quality vehicles. We'll be comparing the 2018 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Premium trim, because that's the most available trim at Hesser Toyota, and the 2018 GMC Acadia SL Front-wheel Drive.

2018 Toyota 4Runner Separates Itself from the Rest

As you can see, although both SUVs offer good performance capabilities and roomy interiors, the 2018 Toyota 4Runner surpasses the 2018 GMC Acadia significantly in all of the categories shown. The Toyota 4Runner's 4.0-liter V6 engine outdoes the GMC Acadia's 2.5liter I-4 engine substantially in both horsepower and torque. Horsepower and torque, especially when it comes to sizable SUVs, are very important for overall drive-quality, and the 2018 Toyota 4Runner has plenty of that to spare.

But it's not all about big engines and torque, SUV-buyers also want space to fit all their luggage and cargo. Many times, it’s the biggest priority when it comes to choosing between SUVs. Again, the 2018 Toyota 4Runner exceeds the 2018 GMC Acadia by a wide margin. Whether it’s the standard interior cargo volume or the maximum interior cargo volume, it's no question the 2018 Toyota 4Runner is much roomier than the 2018 GMC Acadia.
