One of the biggest complaints about the Toyota 4Runner and FJ Cruiser is how underpowered the little 4.0L V6 engines are. Both the 4Runner and FJ Cruiser are pretty large SUVs and really should’ve been offered with a V8 from the factory. If you want more power you could always swap in a V8, but that is an incredibly expensive and long process. Magnuson also recognized this same problem, and they developed the perfect solution.
In case you didn’t already know, Magnuson has been around for quite a while and they’re well known for their supercharger kits. The kit they developed for the 4Runner and FJ Cruiser is a bolt on supercharger that gains an impressive 34% more horsepower and 27% more torque than the stock engine. This puts the power output much closer to a V8 and really helps push these SUVs down the road.
If you’ve ever towed with your 4Runner or FJ Cruiser, you know just how slow it really is. Imagine being able to tow stuff without having your foot on the floor the entire time. As you may know, torque is the number to look for when it comes to towing. This kit from Magnuson increases torque to 306 ft-lb at the rear tires. This is more than enough to significantly improve the towing ability of your 4Runner or FJ Cruiser.
This supercharger kit is set to release sometime in December, but initial production will be limited. The retail price will be around $5,700 which is pretty cheap considering the amount of power you’ll be gaining with a bolt on kit. If you’re worried about the supercharger killing the reliability of your 4Runner or FJ Cruiser don’t worry, Magnuson backs it up with a three year, 36k mile warranty.
