Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the GMC Acadia than in the Toyota 4Runner. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the GMC Acadia and the Toyota 4Runner.

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the GMC Acadia, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Toyota 4Runner.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the GMC Acadia will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Toyota 4Runner.

Dimensions
The GMC Acadia is about the same width as the Toyota 4Runner. When looking at overall length, the GMC Acadia takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Toyota 4Runner.

Handling
The GMC Acadia has a larger turning radius than the Toyota 4Runner, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The GMC Acadia has a little less horsepower than the Toyota 4Runner.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the GMC Acadia does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Toyota 4Runner.

Utility
The GMC Acadia offers greater seating capacity than the Toyota 4Runner, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. The GMC Acadia has less cargo space than the Toyota 4Runner, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
