The 4Runner has better off-road performance and higher stability compared to the Land Cruiser Prado. The exterior of the 4Runner is indeed more muscular and rugged, while the Prado is taller and the 4Runner is wider. Below is relevant information: 4Runner: The 4Runner features blackened headlights, LED daytime running lights with integrated fog lights, and an aggressive front-end design that perfectly embodies the American-style rugged off-road vehicle aesthetic. Combining Toyota's off-road characteristics, it offers both comfort and a tough demeanor, providing a strong sense of security. Space: In terms of interior space, primarily influenced by the vehicle type, the Prado is taller while the 4Runner is wider, resulting in slightly different spatial experiences between the two. However, it's worth noting that the third-row seats in both models are not particularly spacious. That said, in a 5-seat configuration, the trunk space is quite generous.

The 4Runner and Land Cruiser Prado are both classic Toyota SUVs, but they have very different positioning. The 4Runner is generally the Land Cruiser, which is larger in size, has strong off-road capabilities, and is equipped with a powerful V8 engine, making it suitable for adventure enthusiasts who enjoy traversing mountains and rivers. It also comes with a significantly higher price tag. The Land Cruiser Prado, on the other hand, is a mid-size SUV that is more agile to drive, easier to park in the city, has lower fuel consumption, and lower maintenance costs, making it suitable for daily commuting or family trips. With years of driving experience, I find the 4Runner more reliable for frequent off-road trips. For occasional outings or daily use, the Land Cruiser Prado offers better value for money—don't be confused just by the names. Both vehicles are top-notch in reliability, but the 4Runner has more spacious interiors ideal for long journeys, while the Land Cruiser Prado features more refined and practical interiors.

Can an automatic transmission car be parked in neutral?

Automatic transmission cars can be parked in neutral. Temporarily parking in N gear means neutral, also called short-term parking gear. When the car is parked without turning off the engine, such as waiting for someone or at a red light, shifting to N gear is beneficial for the clutch plates. Pulling the handbrake means you don't have to keep your foot on the brake pedal for a long time. If you need to turn off the car, you should shift to P gear (parking gear), which locks the gears and wheels together. Automatic transmission cars use a computer to control hydraulic oil to push pistons for gear shifting based on throttle position, vehicle speed, and throttle opening. They automatically select the appropriate gear according to driving speed and traffic conditions, independently controlling the gears to better match engine speed with gear position.
