Most reliable car Ive ever owned

Fun to drive & super reliable. Nothing not to like. V8 is super smooth & quiet with plenty of power. I will always drive Toyotas.

Most reliable car on the road

Hands down the best SUV for the Colorado Outdoors. 3 of my friends went out and bought one over the last few years because of mine. Most reliable car on the road

Excellent Truck, a bit tight for me at 6'4"

Pros: Very reliable. Great styling for certain. Beautiful look and feel. Strong engine. Reliable. Cons: Very thirsty on the fuel, and I only had a 4x2. Not very comfortable seats for me, plus the seat did not go low enough, so my head was always rubbing on the roof. Kind of loud engine I thought.

Reliable and what we need

The 4Runner is one of safest cars you can own, responsible for among the very least traffic deaths. It's well designed, and comfortable for being more of a truck than a car.

Best, most reliable car I have ever owned.

Bought it used in 2006 and drove it until 2018, with only normal maintenance along the way. While I don?t think Toyota makes them that way any more, it was by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. I miss it already.

Great dependable and stylish 4 wheel drive.

This SUV is the most reliable I've ever owned. I had a 99 model with 267,000 miles (sold it at that mileage) at one point and the 04 seems to be right behind it in terms of longevity. I would definitely recommend the 4Runner to anyone without question.

I love this 4 runner

This Toyota 4runner was garage kept, drives smooth, is very clean, and ready to tow. I'd love to keep it but no space for more than one car!

Test Drive

I like the leather seats and the design of the vehicle. Very little rust for a 2004 even with the high miles. I like this vehicle barbecue of the timing chain vs belt

11/10

Love the car. Good for literally anything. Lasts forever and requires very minimal maintenance. Oil changes and brakes is really it. Back window always comes in handy.
