Safety

First and foremost, safety was made a priority in the 2019 Toyota 4Runner.  Pretensioners are present in both front seat shoulder belts to eliminate dangerous slack during a collision. These front seat shoulder belts are also height-adjustable, ensuring a proper fit for drivers and passengers of any size.

Moving to the backseats, all seats are equipped with shoulder harnesses rather than lap belts alone, making them 10% more effective at preventing injuries during a collision. Also present in all three rows are standard head airbags to act as a barrier between passengers the door.  These "smart" airbags utilize speed- and seat-sensors to deploy with different levels of force to better protect each passenger individually.

In addition to these safety features, the 2019 Toyota 4Runner in Covington, LA offers a standard Parking Assist Sonar feature. 

 

This feature warns drivers about obstacles in front of the vehicle and a standard backup monitor for obstacles behind the vehicle. These safety features are only a few of the many offered in the 2019 4Runner.  Together, they earned a 5-star overall side impact rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and a "good" overall front rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). 
 Warranty

To keep these safety features in top shape, servicing your 4Runner is important. Toyota's basic warranty covering new 2019 4Runners includes a full 3-year/36,000-mile coverage of the entire vehicle and the powertrain warranty covers repairs up to 5 years or 60,000 miles.  Additionally, new owners receive 2 years/25,000 miles of free roadside assistance and regular scheduled maintenance. This covers times when you run out of gas, need a jump, or lock your keys in the car and oil changes, lubrication, and other required maintenance. Thanks to these warranties, The Car Book by Jack Gillis says the Toyota 4Runner is $346 less than average to complete Toyota's recommended maintenance for 50,000 miles. Regular repairs such as break pads, struts, and power steering repairs cost less on average as well. 


Reliability

While Toyota offers a respectable warranty, drivers need not be concerned about the 4Runner's reliability.  According to J.D. Power and Associates' 2018 survey, Toyota vehicles are very reliable.  J.D. Power went as far as to rank Toyota 8th in reliability, which is above the industry average. Additionally, Consumer Reports ranked Toyota 1st in reliability with 84 points in their April 2018 Auto Issue.  Leading to these rankings are factors such as the hardened steel chain that requires no maintenance instead of rubber in the camshaft.  

 

Also contributing is the overhead cam design as opposed to the old pushrod design, allowing for smoother operation, better efficiency, and fewer moving parts. 

All in all, the 2019 Toyota 4Runner in Covington, LA is a brilliant choice for drivers looking for a safe, reliable SUV. With plenty of options available, the 4Runner's look and feel can be tailored to many styles while maintaining its impressive foundation.  Contact us or stop by for more information on the 2019 Toyota 4Runner.Â
