Has the 2020 Toyota 4Runner won you over with its rugged good looks? You'll be pleased to learn that this midsize SUV is much more than just another pretty face. Look closer and you'll find that the 4Runner gives you plenty more reasons to drive it home. Major Potential for Off-Road Adventure One of the 4Runner's major draws is its rugged performance. While the SR5 and Limited trim models are available with two-wheel drive, all other 4Runner models come standard with four-wheel drive. This off-road-ready equipment will have you blazing trails, climbing mountains, and fording muddy riverbeds. More than traction-boosting four-wheel drive, though, the 4Runner also satisfies your sense of adventure with trail-ready equipment like skid plates and foglights. Every 4Runner features a trick power-sliding rear window, which can be lowered to give you a greater sense of adventure, even if you're just driving in rush-hour traffic. more Safety Comes Standard In addition to delivering a knack for adventure, the 4Runner makes safety a big priority. Every trim model comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense P, a bundle of high-tech safety aids designed to help you avoid trouble. The pre-collision system includes pedestrian detection, so you can avoid hitting both people and other vehicles. Lane departure alert can tell when you've accidentally strayed from your lane and alerts you accordingly. Adaptive cruise control is also part of the package: this technology automatically maintains a safe distance from the vehicle up ahead, speeding up or slowing down as needed. New for 2020 is a road sign assist feature. This system utilizes a forward-facing camera to read various road signs — including speed limit, stop, do not enter, and yield signs. Road sign assist displays these signs on the driver multi-information screen, helping you safely navigate unfamiliar roads. Comfortable, Versatile Family Travel There are two 4Runner cabin options. The SR5 and Limited trim models come standard with seating for up to seven passengers. These three-row models are perfect for big families. The other 4Runner trim models are still roomy, with plenty of head- and legroom for five passengers. This SUV is also known for its excellent cargo capacity. With up to 47.2 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, it's easy to gear up for your next glamping excursion! Fold down the rear seats to create up to 89.7 cubic feet of space to haul larger items, like gardening supplies or bicycles. Distraction-Free Connectivity Smartphones have become inescapable, but it's still unsafe to pick one up while you're driving. Luckily, every 4Runner comes standard with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, smartphone integration technology for the cabin's infotainment system. With it, you can view smartphone apps on the central touch screen or press a button to access your phone's Google Assistant or Siri voice controls. And that means that you can use your smartphone without ever looking away from the road! On the road, the 2020 4Runner looks good, feels good, and keeps you connected. When it's time for a little off-road adventure, the 4Runner is even more appealing, giving you the rugged performance you crave!

Dona Lupita Tamales Don't be fooled by the quaint building and location, because Dona Lupita Tamales is one of the busiest Mexican restaurants during the holidays. The menu includes green chicken, red pork, chili cheese, and sweet-style tamales, plus several varieties of burritos and other filling Mexican classics. Each tamale has that perfect mix of soft-yet-firm corn masa, and the fillings are generous, moist, and made from high-quality ingredients. Mama Tamales Loved for its green chile chicken tamales, Mama Tamales also serves other tasty home-style dishes from its Mexican-American menu, such as soupy tacos and several styles of enchiladas. The restaurant's popularity leads to big lunch rushes sometimes, but anyone interested in great Mexican food should find a time to sit down and try Mama Tamales. Pepe's Tamales Although there's strong competition all throughout El Paso, this restaurant might stand at the top. Don't expect a good spot for a date or lunch with friends, however, as Pepe's is take-out only and has a rather simple, unassuming decor, and a building tucked away in a McRae Boulevard shopping center. Although anyone visiting this eatery won't be disappointed with the tamales, don't expect other Mexican or Latin American items on the menu. Pepe's has one specialization and sticks to it, using the freshest ingredients and perfect ratios for mouthwatering flavor combinations such as red chile pork, raisin, and green chile chicken. Each tamale is hot, fresh, perfectly cooked, and generously stuffed with filling. El Paso has a great food scene, with plenty of great restaurants in almost any category, from impressive burger joints and steakhouses to authentic restaurants serving Asian, French, and other tastes from around the world. This is even more true for tamales and general Latin American cuisine, so be sure to give one of these places a try the next time you're craving authentic Mexican comfort food.
