2005 Toyota 4Runner consumer reviews

This Toyota 4Runner is the best vehicle I've ever owned. Great on the open road with a smooth ride and 23 mpg, or on old country roads as well.

I love it, everything about it makes this arguably the best American sold 4runner out of their history. Getting a massive V8, Full time Four Wheel Drive and tremendous comfort is hard to beat by any other 4runner. Stylistically it's not my favorite.

Very reliable vehicle. It is the second time I own a toyota 4Runner and it has not disappointed me so far. I would buy another one again

I love the 4Runner, it’s reliable in every way possible. For my 2WD SR5, it’s more than capable of hauling the family on long trips without loss in performance or problems on the road no matter what load or elevation this 4Runner is the best affordable SUV you’ll own. The engine is indestructible with the timing chain so you don’t need to replace every 60k miles. Transmission is very strong and smooth and responsive. Comfort is not the 4Runner’s forte, since it’s less plush than the Limited Edition so you get what you pay for. Storage capacity is crazy, I’ve hauled furniture big and small, boxes heavy and light, trash whenever we need to clean the trees, the folding second row gives you so much more volume to use for any kind of load, and you can even do it with rear door closed but rear window down which you don’t find and many SUVs. It’s a great car and something to consider if you like reliability and long lasting vehicle and dependable so you don’t have to worry about a family member getting stuck somewhere because it broke down which rarely happens with Toyotas in general.

By far my V8 Toyota 4runner is the best vehicle for its money about to hit 280k miles and no major issues yet. Take care of it and it will take care of you !!!

Shoddy work done by the mechanics. Bought a used 4runner from them after they boasted about how every service was done by them. Car fax say that vehicle was checked for a check engine light that came on 5/11/19 with the previous owner. That owner then traded it in for something newer, and we bought the car... 30 days in, and the head gaskets blew, and they’re telling me that there’s nothing they can do. Maybe stand by your guaranteed services, like you said you did, when you sold us the vehicle

This car has been a great family car. I have been able to take my family on trip and there is plenty of room in the rear for grocery's or luggage.

I love this car. It really is fantastic. Comfortable, powerful, reliable... I just needed a car that was made for everyday highway driving and a 4runner just isn't that. But it's still the best car I have ever owned.

I was looking for a used car and started checking the reviews and they were great, so bought my first one silver and them bought a second one white both have more than 200k miles and rides like new, zero issues (except for the dash cracked in both) I think it should be a Toyota recall.

Excellent machine after 14 years and 180,000 miles. Still shifts smooth, 4 x 4 works perfect, engine is smooth and powerful. Purrs like a kitten, but v6 is powerful when you step on it. Pleasure to drive on long road trips, commuting around town, and in deep snow. Never been stuck. Over the years have done cats and head gasket but a small price to pay for a car that brings a smile to my face every time I turn it on. Paint has held up very well and all electronics work perfectly. Driving around with 5 windows down and sunroof open feels almost like a convertible. If you are tall custom seat extenders make driving much more comfortable. Available on line. JBL stereo is great. This car is based on the Land-cruiser Prado which is designed to last for 25 years. Most cars are designed to last 10 to 15 years. I believe it.
