Ford Edge vs. Toyota 4Runner Review

Utility
Neither the Ford Edge nor the 4Runner has a marked advantage when it comes to seating capacity. The Toyota 4Runner is a better choice than the Ford Edge as far as transporting cargo, especially if you often need to carry a lot of gear or massive animals. Towing is considerably more the Toyota 4Runner's forte than it is the Edge's.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Toyota 4Runner than the Ford because of its larger tank. The Ford Edge and the Toyota 4Runner compete for the same parking spaces.

Convenience
You definitely won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Ford Edge than with the Toyota 4Runner, because both offer comparable ranges.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the Ford Edge to the dealership as the Toyota 4Runner. There frankly isn't much of a difference in gas mileage here, but if you must know, the Ford is a tad more economical than the Toyota 4Runner. In terms of MSRP, the Ford Edge doesn't cost much less than the Toyota 4Runner.

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the Toyota 4Runner and the Ford Edge most certainly handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Toyota 4Runner's engine isn't much larger than the Ford Edge's.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Ford Edge offers a bit more head room than the Toyota 4Runner, there frankly isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Ford make it considerably roomier for your passengers than the Toyota 4Runner.

Overview
The Toyota 4Runner and the Ford Edge have the same basic after-sale protection.
