2017 Toyota 4Runner SR5

I owned a Toyota FJ Cruiser for 6 years, which I loved. I wish Toyota would bring it back! But the 4Runner is the next best thing. I got the base SR5 model, which doesnt have all the offroading features (no locking rear differential for example), but it still has 4-Lo and ATRAC, which should suffice for the vast majority of tough situations. The Sr5 also has a Downhill Assist Control feature which I havent had a chance to try yet. This is a very capable vehicle. But what really sold me is the interior. The 4Runner is very comfortable. I am a tall guy and have plenty of room and adjustment in the drivers seat. By comparison, i couldn't get comfortable in a new Tacoma. Also the controls are easy to read and layed out nicely. And the rear power window is a neat feature. There are also 12v outlets all over the vehicle, and a regular switchable 120v outlet in the rear. The rear seats fold flat and there are tie-downs in the cargo area, which is huge. Lots of space. Overall I am thrilled with the 4Runner. Totally reliable, capable, practical, and fantastic resale value.

17 Toyota 4runner

This vehicle is just what I needed. I previously had a Tahoe, was looking for another, but couldn't make myself pay chevys outrageous prices! I decided on a 4runner, got the top of the line, and saved 20-30k!!! I love love love it!!! It is perfect sized! My ONLY complaint is the inner cup holders get stuck on my yeti cups.... but I can deal with that!! Def recommend this vehicle!

MOST DESIRABLE AND LEAST TOXIC VEHICLE UNDER $50K

Looked at a variety of trucks and SUV that are off-road capable and found many of them have a toxic new car smell that won't go away not just because of plastics and glue but also because of a black leather interior [apparently industrial waste is used for color] i found only vehicles costing $60-$80 using natural leathers [tan or brown] smelled like leather and Toyota is the only car maker who uses them in vehicles costing under $50k even they're Softex [leatherette] is non-toxic also all other features and build of vehicle are a premium.

Principle Toyota

Jimmy Rooker sold me and my husband a 2016 4-Runner May of 2016. In March of 2017, my 2016 4-Runner was totaled. Jimmy helped us so much that we wanted to have him help us with our new purchase of a 2017 4-Runner. Jimmy was able to get the exact 4-Runner that we were looking for. He called and updated everyday. He went over and beyond to help me and my husband. I would highly recommend Principle Toyota again.

Lives up to its reputation as stylish and tough. Great vehicle and fun to drive. Looking forward to new adventures with this capable off roader.

Love my 4RUNNER!

This is the first 4RUNNER I have owned. Owned a Trailblazer for the last ten years and it was time for something new. This car exceeds in all areas. So glad I didn't go smaller.

The Best Yet

I owned a 4Runner previously, excellent car! I had to upgrade to get the latest and greatest! I'm impressed with this new model.. it's comfortable, roomy, smooth, and overall I am pleased with it! Toyota has always been a reliable and reasonable priced vehicle for our family!

Great job Eddie

I recently visited Heritage Toyota and I lucked up and got Eddie MccRey as my salesman. He was excellent. He was very friendly and polite. He treated my entire family with respect. I felt like he was being very honest and he also gave me every detail about each car I asked about. Finally I purchased the car and I want to say that it was all because of Eddie. Thank you!
