The available Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) in the 4Runner Trail facilitates extended wheel travel at slow speeds for greater off-road capability and stability. On pavement, KDSS provides a nimble sporty handling feel by reducing body lean when cornering.
The Limited adds comfort through the standard and exclusive X-REAS suspension, which automatically adjusts the damping force of shocks when driving over bumpy surfaces or when cornering. A center control absorber cross-links the shock absorbers on opposite corners of the vehicle, substantially reducing pitch and yaw by offsetting opposing inputs.
Just as you gear up to fight off the winter chill, it’s also important to make plans to protect your car against the elements. Implementing a little planning and acting on these simple steps can extend the life and looks of your vehicle, in the wintertime and beyond.
Cover Up
It may be convenient, but leaving your car outside to soak up the sun, wind, and rain can dull a paint job over time. If you have access to a garage or carport, don’t be lazy and just leave it in the driveway. Go ahead and pull the car in the garage to park. You’ll thank yourself when you don’t have to shovel snow and ice to dig your car out when the weather takes a turn for the worse.
The Top 3 Toyota SUVs for Large Families
When people look for a car, one major consideration is if there is enough room for their family. Many people buy SUVs because they offer plenty of space. However, not all SUVs are made alike. Some focus on comfort, while others have advanced technology. Toyota’s line of SUVs is designed with comfort in mind as well as upgraded navigation systems, and they are consistently ranked among the top 10 SUVs. These three below give you room for your large family while making sure you get to your destination safely and without any interruptions.
1. Highlander
One of the most important parts of driving is how comfortable everyone is. The Toyota Highlander not only fits your family, but it also offers a smooth ride thanks to the six-speed automatic transmission. It provides three rows of seating so no one’s squished next to each other, and the first two rows have plenty of head and leg room for eight passengers. Is anyone thirsty? The center console can hold up to 58 juice boxes, so you can be ready when the kids come from practice with their friends. The base and the V6 models get up to 25 mpg on the highway for fewer stops. Additional features include a sunroof, keyless entry, and tri-zone automatic climate control.

To aid the safe implementation of automated driving, Toyota is developing a high-precision map generation system that will use data from on-board cameras and GPS devices installed in production vehicles. The new system will go on display at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2016 in Las Vegas, which will run from January 6 through 9.
Toyota’s new system uses camera-equipped production vehicles to gather road images and vehicle positional information. This information is sent to data centers, where it is automatically pieced together, corrected and updated to generate high precision road maps that cover a wide area.
