Drove Like A Dream!

This car drove like a dream! Potholes & bumps, no problem. Handles the road & the height reminds me of a truck, but much more comfortable. My test drive clinched my decision to purchase one.

No better vehicle on the market

Fantastic vehicle. I would not drive any other vehicle. I've been driving a 4 runner for the last 20 years. I have never had any problem @ all with my 4Runner

Best SUV out there

The 2017 4Runner is a true SUV in a world of crossovers. If you're looking to some moderate off roading, tow a trailer, or just need a flat out reliable vehicle you can't do much better than the 4runner. There is plenty of cargo room, updated technology (standard GPS, xm radio, all auto windows, vents for the rear seats...), lots of power, and you can go anywhere in this thing. I bought it as a hunter that needs to tow an atv occasionally, travel dirt roads, and needs plenty of space for cargo and dogs, while at the same time needing something that is a great daily driver. I had a 2016 Tacoma TRD off road and loved it, except for the cramped interior space (even in the double cab), and the lack luster powertrain. Where the Tacoma can't seem to find the right gear, shifts rough, and feels under powered at times, the 4runner is smooth as butter and always in its power band. Toyota really made a mistake moving from the 4.0 to the 3.5 in the Tacoma. Reviewers say the 5speed auto is dated, but believe me- its heaps better than the 6speed in the Taco. After driving the 4runner I knew what I was missing and had to have it. If you're cross shopping a 4runner with a Tacoma, drive them both-you'll be hard pressed to beat the 4runner. I went with the TRD Off Road 4runner and have no regrets!

My most useful car I have ever had!

I had an Audi TT convertible. I have moved to a mountain town, where going down dusty uneven roads are the norm.My Audi, just wasn't cutting it, with the carrying soil, rocks, and other plant stuff. I went and took a test drive of a brand new 2917 Toyota 4 runner. I fell in love with it right away. Is is so dureable and a perfect car for my lifestyle at this point in my life. I like that it can be all things, for all different occasions. For example When I need it to be rugged, sporty, or gutsy, it is all there, but when I need it to be a luxury car, it steps up to the plate. I love my new car....

4Runner Limited 4WD

Test drove and purchased the 4Runner Limited. Great handling, comfort and luxury. Perfect for drives to Lake Tahoe in the winter. Internet sales at the dealer was the only way to go. Wonderful service without the haggling. Walked away with a great deal!

TRD Off-Road 2017 4Runner

Great looks and even smoother ride. The KDSS suspension keeps it steady, coupled with the premium Entune system (navigation, XM, apps, etc) help make this a no brainer purchase.

4th Toyota SUV in a row

Toyota 4Runners and Sequoias are rock solid, powerful, smooth and quiet. Don't leave home without one. I haven't in over 300,000 miles and 13 years. Wouldn't change anything if I could!

Really Surprised

After trading in are Escalade on this 2017 Toyota 4Runner Limited we were very satisfied on the way it drove and handled. It has a lot of pick up and go when you need the extra power. The inside and outside is a looker. Like all the electronics that they Limited has. The cool and hot seats in the front are super. Lotta room to haul the grandkids and it's fun to drive. Toyota Fletcher in Joplin Missouri was very good to deal with. After using newcars.com to submit a request on the internet for this car. It was very easy and simple way of using the internet, recommend this highly.
