2002 Toyota 4Runner consumer reviews

I am the second owner for three years with 155,000 miles in it. At 110,000 miles I installed a 2.5 lift and 33 inch tires. Taken it for trips of more than 7,000 miles in some real off-roading in rock and sand: love the rear lock differential, I was able to get through areas where professional dirt bikes couldn't. Performance off road is great, and the interior is well designed, clear view points to the outside and durability that surpasses all other SUVs of its class. On the downside, the v6 engine consumes much gas with little power in the highway. Especially if you add weight, you will find it challenging to keep-up with other vehicles in uphills. I have ran out of gas twice because of bad reading of the gas gauge when the vehicle had load of 700 pounds or more. Be ware that this is a common problem for the 4runners in this model. The chasis frame is a great option away from today's crossovers and other city SUVs. The 4runner is designed for the country and not the pavement. Get your hands in one of these as soon as you can if you want to pay little for a dependable performing light truck.

Very nice vehicle with all the needed functions. Durable, dependable and made 4fun. Gets you where you are going everytime. Limited has nice styling inside and out.

Great toyota value and reliability..Stylish. SAFE vehicle .This should go well over 200 thousand miles...

Having run into problems with our '06 truck I had to trade and after weeks of searching found this. I did not want a car pymt & got lucky with this find. Mint condition from a big Toyo dealer.I'm a painting cont. I've always owned a truck. Not nearly the room the truck had but so far I love it. Live in the Adk Mts. of NY and a 4x4 is part of life here. These Toyo's are everywhere and will go anywhere. I made the right choice and it's paid for

Bought it for its great look. Never drove a truck with a ride this rough...and I've owned 4WD vehicles for over 35 years. Tried new shocks, new tires...nothing. It will definitely go where you want it to...but you'll never know you were back on the road. Disappointed in the gas mileage too.

120k miles, it still starts and drives like its brand new. Amazing power, and comfort. Looks good, accelerates well, brakes well, and the 4WD is very easy to use. Last year, my 4Runner was able to get out in the snowy roads without any issue, although my neighbors Jeep Cherokee got stuck before it left the court. I absolutely love this car. What an amazing ride.

Would never consider getting rid of this vehicle if it got a little better gas milealge. Now gets around 18 city and 24 highway. Ride is a little stiff, but it is on a truck frame!

I had a 4 runner previously and decided that's what I wanted again after the great reliability and performance I had with my other one. I would definitely recommend it to anyone...

First off, when you look at the instrument cluster, all the controls are easily readable and simple to use. Looking out the windshield, you notice that you sit up high and have a great visibility in all directions. Once you begin driving, you really notice how easy it is to drive. Compared to the 2007 Tacoma I had been driving prior to the 4Runner, the 4Runner does not feel wide and bulky. It's narrow enough to easily and comfortable operate, however, inside does not feel cramped at all. Probably my favorite feature is the rear window which rolls down. I like driving with the windows open rather than a/c so the ability to roll down the back window along with the others makes a nice breeze always flow right through the car. Aside from the features and how it drives, I LOVE the look of this car. I have an '02 4runner Sport Edition. It's got the boxier styling that makes it look like the older siblings, but its stylish enough for the 21st century. The hood scoop, flares, and skid plate really set it apart from other 4runners of the same year. Those little features really turn heads. Kudos to Toyota on this model of 4runner!!

I LOVE THIS SUV IS VERY RELIABLE, AND GOES EVERYWERE ........AND NEVER BREAKS ........THE BEST CAR THAT I EVER OWNED
