The Toyota 4Runner is an SUV manufacture by Toyota and sold in countries such as the United States, Canada, Panamá, Saudi Arabia, Australia and Chile from 1984 to the present. The original 4Runner was a compact SUV and a little more than a Toyota pickup truck with a fiberglass shell over the bed, but the model has since undergone significant independent development into a mid-size SUV. All 4Runners have been built at Toyota's plant in Tahara, Aichi, Japan or at Hino Motors' Hamura, Japan plant.
