The Explorer is a long-established SUV nameplate, and though it's as much a crossover now as the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot, it continues to trade on its iconic name. 

The Toyota 4Runner, on the other hand, while sharing somewhat iconic status, has remained true to its SUV roots. 4Runner sales last year rose to a seven-year high. If 4Runner sales grew 20% in the remainder of 2015 – they're up 40% so far this year – Toyota would sell more than 90,000 copies for  the first time since 2006. 

Toyota USA averaged nearly 108,000 annual 4Runner sales between 2003 and 2006; barely more than 43,000 between 2008 and 2013.

GCBC isn't here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why you'll see the Outback and Venza here but also with midsize cars, too, and the tweener-sized Sorento and Santa Fe are shown with midsize SUVs and small SUVs, and the pricey FJ Cruiser and Xterra with smaller utilities and the Volkswagen Touareg with luxury SUVs... because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.
