Lincoln MKX vs. Toyota 4Runner Review

Utility
Neither the Toyota 4Runner nor the Lincoln MKX has a marked advantage with respect to seating capacity. The 4Runner is likely a better choice than the MKX when it comes to transporting cargo, especially if you often need to carry a lot of luggage or big pets. The Toyota 4Runner outpulls the Lincoln MKX by a massive margin.

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

Convenience
You'll definitely have to take the MKX for a fill-up more often than the 4Runner because of its tank size and gas mileage.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Toyota 4Runner to the dealership as the Lincoln MKX. The Lincoln MKX doesn't pale in comparison to the Toyota 4Runner regarding gas mileage. The Lincoln MKX won't tax your gas budget substantially more than the Toyota 4Runner will. The Toyota 4Runner is considerably less pricey than the Lincoln MKX with respect to MSRP.

Handling
With their similar turning radii, the Toyota 4Runner and the Lincoln MKX quite certainly handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Lincoln MKX's engine is somewhat smaller than the Toyota 4Runner's, but not terribly so. The Lincoln MKX could learn a lesson or two from the Toyota 4Runner in terms of pickup.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Lincoln MKX offers a bit more head room than the Toyota, there really isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Lincoln MKX make it significantly roomier for your passengers than the Toyota.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the 4Runner isn't quite as generous as the Lincoln's.
