Performance
Before we move on with the award show, you need to know what the latest Wrangler is packing. As your standard drivetrain in the new 2026 Jeep Wrangler in Willoughby, a 2.0L turbo engine delivers 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Take note of the coming numbers, because they’re responsible for the 2026 Wrangler’s incredible title of “Best-In-Class Available Towing Capacity of 5,000 Pounds”. Spice up your drive with the optional 3.6L PENTASTAR V6 engine that boosts your HP to 285 ponies. A Command-Trac Part-Time 4WD System is your standard platform, with a stellar Rock-Trac Part-Time 4WD System as your worthwhile upgrade.
The new 4Runner gets close with 278 horsepower on its i-FORCE engine, but no specs that can top the Jeep Wrangler’s status for those who tow. Another thing to consider is the fact that you could very well end up with a 4Runner that rolls on 2-wheel drive. When you go with the Jeep Wrangler, you’re always guaranteed 4WD performance.
Safety Features
The real reason why people can drive carefree in a Jeep? Simply because they're built for this lifestyle. The 2026 Jeep Wrangler in Willoughby is specially designed with a high-strength steel frame, because even if you drive responsibly, you should still be prepared for the worst. Tangible safety enhancements like this always bring greater reassurance on top of driver-assist systems for proactive protection. But if you wanted to add a bit of advanced high-tech safety, you have incredible options like ParkSense, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Adaptive Cruise Control.
The newest Toyota 4Runner comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 as your basic package. What else do you get? The 4Runner isn't exactly as durable as the Wrangler, and it's a bit short on available upgrades as well. If you want advanced safety features, your only two notable options are a digital rearview mirror and Blind Spot Monitor.
Interior
All hands on deck. Your next grand adventure is ready to set sail with the Wrangler's best-in-class rear seat headroom and legroom, making way for unhindered thrills! During your next trip out of Cleveland, bring everyone you know and know that they're comfy with 41.7 inches of headroom and 35.7 inches of legroom in the back. For the front, settle into available heated seats with 12-way power adjustments. For more of an edge, you can pop off the doors to your 2026 Jeep Wrangler, embrace the brisk winds, and hear the sound of nature's call.

How's the 4Runner for staying in tune with the world around you? Actually, this SUV is better suited to stay in town. Between SofTex and leather chairs, you'll find yourself hesitating to take it out on the dirt path for fear of getting dirty. You can opt for an available third row of seating, but with the same cabin size, you'll just be filling up the space for a more cramped atmosphere. Not exactly the kind of car you want to be in for a prolonged period of time.
Bottom Line
When the idea is to live on the brink of excitement with the spontaneous trip always within reach, the 2026 Jeep Wrangler is the SUV that caters to that lifestyle. The latest Wrangler offers plenty more opportunities for Willoughby's drivers to go on the adventures they want, while the Toyota 4Runner feels like just another SUV.
