You’re right about the 2022 edition of the
Toyota 4Runner
! It finally comes with advanced safety features, including a blind spot monitor. The 4Runner blind spot monitor is a system of radars that detects movement in your blind spots or approaching vehicles from the rear.
When the system detects other vehicles, it alerts you with visual cues that appear near each side mirror. While this system shouldn’t replace looking over your shoulder or checking your blind spots, it’s a supplementary device that could mitigate the chance of an accident.
If you decide to pull the trigger on a brand new 4Runner, make sure that you have a great insurance policy to protect your investment. One place to start is with the
