Best car ever owned

By far most reliable for money. I would not buy anything else. Never had a problem under the hood. Tires and oil changes are all I did for 10 years.

Great value!

Reliable, stylish, workhorse- Great car but I got a new job so I never drive it. Only drive my Camry. I purchased from neighbor's estate sale last year. I'm the second owner.

Great SUV should continue to make this style

Only complaint is gas milage. Handles well, easy to work on, dog loves the back window rolling down. Great vehicle over all. Fun to drive and has great power, most likely why bad gas milage 17-22 mpg.

We just love it.

Reliability comfort decent power for our use. We have 205k on it and have put less than $200 dollars in unexpected repairs into the vehicle. It?s tight and rides so quietly you?d think it had half or less miles.

4 runner the BEST!!

The absolute most reliable car I have ever owned. The 4runner, in my opinion is the best SUV on the market. My favorite part is the back roll down window. Can't much cooler than that.

I have owned three 4Runners - reliable & capable!

Best all around SUV for the money, reliability, comfort, and capabilities that you can ask for. We have owned many different cars and 4Runners are definitely our top pick!

Toyota 4 Runners are awesome

I replaced my 1998 Toyota 4 Runner manual shift because I thought I should now drive an automatic. It had 425,000 miles on the original engine. I bought this 2008 4 Runner. It is nice to have an automatic. Such a great car and I love the style.

They are the energizer bunny of vehicles

We have owned 4 and other than tires and service they are never in the shop. They hold their resale value better than any other and people fight for our traded in vehicles. That is true for no matter what year of the vehicle I will likeky never own anything BUT a 4 runner or Tacoma
