"This is my 2nd 4-Runner and my 4th Toyota. I couldn't wait to own another 4-Runner and now I am disappointed. Even though I bought it new it is already rusting around the back door handle. I have had it to the dealer and filed my complaint with Toyota with no help from them. I just feel that when you pay $35 grand for an SUV the body should last for longer than 2 years. I am already looking at another vehicle and it's not a Toyota. I also feel it doesn't have enough horsepower for it's size. I love the paint, it's the special white color they charge extra for but it's not so pretty when it rusts."

"This is my 5th vehicle and by far the best. Bought the 2010 new and couldn't be happier. New Toyotas run a little high in the price but it's because of their overall quality and reliability. I replaced a 2008 Wrangler Unlimited Sahara with the 4Runner and they are worlds apart. The 4Runner offers great creature comforts including leather interior, heated seats and mirrors, bluetooth and touchscreen navigation/stereo. I love the design of the new body (2010 was the first year for the new design) but that's personal preference. For the size, the vehicle gets great mileage, the sticker ranges 18-22, I average 21.2 to 21.4, up about 3-4 MPG from the Wrangler (and this economy is city driving). The four wheel drive is easy to operate and though very much a "civilized" SUV it's still very capable off-road. The interior is roomy with plenty of space for 4 people very comfortably and 5 people comfortably with room to spare for cargo (don't bother with the third-row option as it's suited for small children at best but would be a pain to get to for them, you get more function out of the rear cargo area with sliding shelf). The 4Runner offers a smooth, comfortable ride on the road with a relatively quiet interior. The power rear window is a nice touch and helps with air flow and noise from driving with windows down (on the highway at 70 with windows down plus the rear down you can easily hear your music as the air doesn't search for an outflow). The standard (SR5) stereo with USB in the glove box is completely sufficient and the USB is nice as the stereo interfaces with iPods and allows you to access your iPod media directly from the stereo. A 2 inch hitch is a standard feature along with 7 and 4 pin trailer wiring (hidden near the spare tire under the car). Overall this is a great car that will surely last forever just as the previous generations have, I can't say enough good things about this car. Note to anyone considering a roof rack: the price and weight ratings are about the same for factory and aftermarket cross bars (required to put anything on the roof). I bought the aftermarket which produce a bit of noise at speed, I recommend the factory bars due to the aerodynamic design and therefore reduced noise."

"0wned for over a year with no issues. Avg mpg is 19.7. (around town) It is very quick but a bit clumsy on turns. (nothing earth shattering) I still get compliments in parking lots for its looks. Note: Opt for steering wheel controls."

"The 2010 4runner is a legit ride. Everything about it. It is as smooth a ride as the the Lexus', and is pushing near 300 HP. The available supercharger for the Toyota V6 can bump it up to near 500 if you really need it. Everyone who has ridden in mine has complimented it. It looks refined and rides ironically like a luxury off road vehicle. The just under 40k sticker price keeps it out of most people's grasp, so you won't be the 10th guy on the blck sporting one. But, like I said it's a legit ride."

"the car is a very nice smooth ride , very reliable, the 4 wheel drive is great in the snow. on the other hand , noise level in cabin when going above 50 miles is very loud, no memory seat option. the gas mileage is more like 15/17 no 17/22. over all is a great truck the negative are minor after a 1 month or 2 you get use to it ."

"My SR5 4Runner 4X4 is Great! I owned a 2004 Sequoia, 2008 Highlander Sport, and now my 2010 SR5 4Runner 4X4. I am averaging 19mpg in town driving (excellent for a 4X4). Love the way it handles. I have pulled a sandrail and other trailer with plenty of power to spare. Love the color (Manetic Gray w/Blk interior). Very roomy inside, and has an excellent sound system. The sliding deck in the rear is very handy for loading and unloading cargo. A Great Veheicle!! I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who is looking for a quaility all around SUV."

"Purchase new in Aug of 10, replaced 2006 SR5 with Limited in Blizzard Pearl, Great Color. Love the truck overall. Great on the Highway, very low wind noise, especially without the cross bars on. Overall fit and finish is exceptional. Miss some of the features of the previous runner though, like the hidden antenna, locking fuel door and auto latching reach door. WHY would they do away with these great features. Do agree with some that the sheet metal is thin, take it through an automatic car wash and watch the hood shutter. Ouch. Aside from that it is great. Love the Limited 20 inch wheels, but would have preferred a bit wider tire and there are no choices unless you change out the wheels. Put the running boards from Toyota on, they don't help much for function, too narrow. But they shure do look great. Would also appreciate factory mud guards for a truck costing 40K. If you are lookin for a great mid size body on frame SUV this is it. Go for the Limited, the suspension on the SR5 is too mushy, much better with X-Reas, better stability at high speeds on the highway, no wander in the wind. Also the Limited has better sound deadening. This will help you appreciate the 15 speaker JBL rolling jukebox. WOW. With the XM, Ipod and standard radio, the entertainment is endless on long trips. Can't wait for summer vaction. Only amassed 2500 miles so far. Looking forward to many, many more miles to go. Will be watching for mid generation changes, such as the return of projector beam headlamps and LED tail lights. Also, I opted for the third seat, much better than that usless rolling cargo deck. Third seat is great for 2 small kids in a pinch, instant 7 passender vehicle. Great in Mid West snow with Geolandar tires, however the anitlock brakes are extreamly sensitive, plenty of acceleration, but give yourself lots of room to .......stop! Would I buy another one, YES!"

"5,000 miles on the 2010 4-Runner SR-5, more than half towing a pop-up tent trailer. No real problems, but I miss my 2003 4-Runner's V-8 power and full time all-wheel-drive. Fit and finish on the new car is excellent. 4-wheel drive system is just like my 1996 4-Runner - adequate, but not all-wheel-drive, all the time. I live in the mountains of Colorado, so that's a big deal. V-6 in the 2010 gets pretty good mileage, but doesn't have the torque of the V-8. Cruise control tends to overshoot up to 5mph, especially on short, steep hills, which is a nuisance. We have cops here that will nail you for 5 over. In Colorado, we are forced by Toyota to "buy" the sliding sunroof (unused), the backup camera (worthless) and the backup sonar (a nuisance that I've turned off). The sunroof causes the roof rack bars to be located too far back to appropriately support my bike racks and roof box, so I had to buy a step stool, even though I'm 6'2" tall to reach my goodies (running boards don't help). Fortunately, I got the car for less than the going price for a 2007, similarly equipped!!"
