"The car looked like the pictures. The floor mats were missing but they let me get others from another vehicle. I didn't notice but the cup holder (in front of the shifter) was missing. $100 to replace it. I got a fair deal but had to fly to New York to get it. Did not have much luck getting a carrier to bring it to Tennessee. I would not deal with Plaza Auto Mall, Brooklyn. Took 3 hours just getting papers ready (lost original ones) & a drive out tag. When getting the title change, they had not signed in the correct place. Had to get affidavit filled out and noterized so I could sign it. The clerk at the county court clerk office had to walk them through it. Very nice people though."

"This is the third 4Runner I've owned, and I've never had a moment's problem out of any of them. This one has the towing capacity of a truck and the ability to go off road while driving like a car in town. It's a shame that Toyota discontinued this body style and engine. The one small downside is that the seat bottom is not quite long enough to give good thigh support on a long trip if you happen to have long legs. Other than that, they did their homework on this vehicle."

"I had owned a 1998 4Runner for 10 years and put 268000 on it. It was the most reliable car I had ever owned but did ride a little rough. Seven months ago I traded for a 2008 4 runner with 58000 miles. So far I have been very impressed with the car in every respect. It rides and drives like a dream and gets better mileage than my 98 4Runner. But what impresses me the most is the incredible power this car has. It has a v6 engine but performs like a v8. My wife has a 2006 Honda Pilot and she keeps trying to trade with me. She is very impressed with the smooth ride and lack of noise. I believe this car will out last my 98 4Runner."

"It's a great family car but bad on gas. Its a good car for the rain or snow. It has a lot more room then your average car."

"I have had 4Runners for the last 25 years and this is my fourth. It seems to be a real improvement over my 2001 which had 212,000 miles and was very very dependable. This one has some "big tires" to fill. So far after 4,000 miles it is a fine car. Better gas milage and better acceleration. I hope to keep it a long time. I would recommend it without reservation."

"Bought a used 2008 4Runner in Sept. 2011. Really love the car. Joined a forum of other owners, put a small lift kit on it for $79. The original Dunlop tires are a little hard, but will replace them with Michelins next year. That's the only thing I dinged the vehicle on. Built like a tank, very reliable. Had it inspected by Toyota before and after purchsing, no issues. Learning to do all my own maintenance. Vehicle is easy to work on. Love it, will take us on retirment outr West."

"I decided to buy the car I took out on the lease instead of buying a new car. The buy-out price is far lower than the cars worth - the best of any used car I could ever find on the market. So, the question is: Why not buy the car you're driving already and not go through the time and trouble of searching for another car."

"Both cars are amazing...comfortable, very efficient. For the 2006 I had to invest money buying the firs part at 80k miles and it was not even something damaged, it was the pads for the brakes...it is amazing...nothing is wrong with this car....it gives me 20 miles per gallon which is not bad for a car like this. I am very happy with both..."

"Love it, love it, love it! I purchased it used with 26,000 miles on it and it still feels and looks like a new vehicle. I bought the V8 Sport Edition with the towing package and the 6 disc changer with 10 speaker JBL audio system. My friends and family are all envious! They think it's a brand new vehicle and they're shocked when I tell them it's two years old. I love the way it drives, rides and handles. The interior is top notch. The one little thing that is awkward is the placement of the window switches below the armrest. Their placment seems a little low but when I mentioned it to a friend she pointed out that their placement was engineered so that if you have pets riding in your vehicle and hanging ten they won't be pushing the window switches. Makes perfect sense now! I will never own anything but a Toyota!"

"Was tentative about an all wheel drive vehicle, compared to the Full Size Bronco, I had driven for 16 yrs, but the 4Runner Sport Edition V8, has exceeded my expectations for snow/ice. Also, V8 was well worth it for hill climbs. Only complaint is exterior body hardware, had small fender bender while parked but did quite a bit of damage to bumper, grill, light, paint,etc."
