Great SUV

This vehicle is the perfect size. It is comfortable, spacious and very maneuverable. It handles well in all weather conditions. I like that the seats fold down too provide a large area for transporting loads. It?s versatility allows for comfort when transporting kids, traveling for outdoor activities, or just day to day traveling. It is reliable in all road conditions; even slick, muddy off-road areas with the help of the 4 wheel drive.

Most reliable truck on earth

This car had everything I wanted except a back up camera. It had an aux input, great bass for music, drove smoothly, and it lasted for years and is still lasting! Awesome car!

I love the style and the comfort

Great vehicle for a daily commute, but also can use in 4 wheel drive which is great for Colorado Mountain trips and the winter snows.

Top of the line SUV in every way,

This is defiantly a top of the line SUV in every way. Thus SUV has incredibly versatility, exceptional reliability and a great ride whatever the terrain. This car has never failed me and has been a great family. I have never taken it off road or towed with it but it comes with all those necessary extras.

Best 4X4 out there

I absolutely loved my 4runner while I owned it. The interior was basic, the back window is the best, and the V8 goes. These vehicles are built for high mileage and anyone who might be a little rough on their car. That being said, do your research. High mileage vehicles require plenty of maintenance and this vehicle has a few kinks with the V8 that require a bypass or lots of engine work. Well worht the money especially if you know a mechanic. Also the head unit in the JVC radio will probably go bad. Otherwise this car is amazing. It definitely is a great vehicle for anyone looking for something a it larger that drive well and is reliable.

Not Good

I have owned this car for the past five years. Average cost of fixing this car is around 500 dollars a year and that's not including regular maintenance. Bottom "splash plate" under the car starts rattling (sounding like a Ford Truck) because it has rusted around the screws. Its a 40 thousand dollar car so expectation is that its well built. But Toyota CUTS corners, and I have learned my lesson.

Fantastic Toyota

I had owned 4 Runners before. This one replaced a GMC Yukon that I lost in a fire. Wonderful vehicle.

Best Car I've Ever Had

Have the rare V8 Sport Edition with the even more rare Shadow Mica color and it's a great SUV. We tow our boat around with it and you can't even tell the boat is there, just pulls it along with no problems. Suspension is awesome, soft enough for comfort but reactive enough so it doesn't feel like it's rolling. Has to do with the X-REAS system for sure. I'd buy another without even thinking about it!
