The range-topping 4Runner Limited and Platinum models offer the all-time 4WD system from the Land Cruiser with a locking center differential. Both SUVs get a suite of Toyota off-roading software ...
All 4Runners have been built in Japan at Toyota's plant in Tahara, Aichi, or at the Hino Motors (a Toyota subsidiary) plant in Hamura. The name "4Runner" was created by copywriter Robert Nathan with the Saatchi & Saatchi advertising company as a play on the term "forerunner". The agency held contests to invent new names for Toyota's forthcoming ...

A locking differential is a mechanical component, commonly used in vehicles, designed to overcome the chief limitation of a standard open differential by essentially "locking" both wheels on an axle together as if on a common shaft. This forces both wheels to turn in unison, regardless of the traction (or lack thereof) available to either wheel ...
The benefit of this system is that traditional CVTs tend to have low efficiency in lower gear ratios, creating a moment of sluggishness when starting from a stop. [2] Since the belts in this CVT are handling a narrower band of ratios, belt angles and loads can be reduced, increasing shift speeds and offering a claimed 6% improvement in fuel ...

The AMC Eagle's single-speed model 119 New Process central differential used a viscous coupling filled with a liquid silicone-based material. [3] It linked the front and rear differentials for quiet and smooth transfer of power to the axle with the greatest traction, on wet or dry pavement.
The result is a differential that does not bind up like some LSD types and locking ones, but still gives increased power delivery under many road conditions. Examples include: Torsen T-1 is the brand name of the original Gleasman differential invented by Vernon Gleasman circa 1949 (US Patent 2,559,916 applied in 1949, granted 1951). [12]
