Six cylinder. I used to live in snow [SIZE=4]haven (Far Northern WI) I drove 1st an older Toyotal 4-runner true 4 wheel drive that you switched in an out of. It had an 8 cyl engine. Sold that, and in 2013, bought a 2012 Toyota RAV 4 AWD SUV, which I have to this day. It's a 4-banger, and while adequate for the roads up North, can't go many of the places the bog ol'4-runner could, and certainly doesn't have the towing capacity.
