2018 Toyota 4Runner consumer reviews

I'm clearly not Toyota's target buyer. My wife and I bought this car as the styling of it if very attractive and the re-sell value appeared to be incredible. It all ends there. This thing is otherwise, a terd. The engine is gutless by the measure of every other modern SUV. It makes a tremendous amount of noise in the process of accelerating and uses an lot of gas in the process. We have achieved an underwhelming 19 MPG highway and average about 17 mpg. Once it's time to stop, that's garbage too. The shocks are way too weak and under-damped. The nose of the vehicle dives with the slightest braking. Very annoying and makes for poor handling while braking. The rotors warped at 35,000 miles and required new ones. The nice part of this was finding drilled slotted aftermarket rotors was inexpensive and a fairly easy task. It's not all bad. We're looking to trade this in now and I'm shocked at how well it has held it's value. We've been offered $2k less that we paid for it new in trade in. Not sure why anyone would buy a used one but I'm glad to come out ahead. If you want reliability and good resale, this is your vehicle. If you care about virtually anything else, keep looking. This thing is just a dressed up 2003 with a touchscreen stereo.

Great vehicle for the value. Very smooth and comfortable ride. Has power when needed. Feels very safe and secure while driving. Several features. Looks great

I have wanted one for a long time and it definitely was worth the wait! It is beautiful and has low miles for a 2018

This car meets all my needs. The ride is comfortable for a four wheel drive. The size meet my large frame very well. I look forward to many years of safe and enjoyable driving.

The 4 runner is not for everybody, but here is what it is and isn't. It is: Ultimately reliable, excellent resale value, amazing off-road, with the low gear range 4WD. It is reasonably comfortable to ride in, but it is a body on frame truck, not a cushy SUV. It still has a CD player. It is fairly quiet, but again, there are lots of things quieter. Great AC and sound system. None of the new autopilot systems yet that are so common on even the Camry and other makes, the 4 runner is retro on the technology. You will have to step UP into this thing, it has plenty of ground clearance. It tows well, gas mileage suffers. If you want/need a vehicle that is a good combination of off-road capability, with ability to haul an occasional sheet of plywood and lumber. This is it. It is comfortable for 4 on a trip, 5 in town. But it is old style, not a car/SUV. We love ours!

Love the reliability, roominess, and the fact it sits so high I can see far ahead. Loved it enough that I am a repeat Toyota owner.

Lots of interior space. I opted for no third row seat for the extra cargo room. Great towing capacity and off road ability. This is my 5th Toyota. No regrets.

Great family car! Plenty of room in the from middle and back, great for road trips, especially off roading. This is a perfect car for everyday commuting vehicle.

I knew exactly what I wanted my next vehicle to be. A Toyota 4Runner. I had priced new ones, and essentially knew what features I wanted, and those I did not want. I am a diehard Toyota owner. I still have my 2015 Prius, which is my primary commuter; I mean 55 mpg, y'know? So on a car-finder site, I located a gem: a 2018 4Runner with just over 10,000 miles on it! The asking price was around ten thousand less than sticker. Because it did not have all the features I wanted and the fact that the trip to/from the dealership would be a full day's trip, I was able to negotiate the price over three thousand less than asking price! The interior comfort is prime and it holds the road like a winner. This vehicle should last me a long, long time, and should I decide to update at some later date, the fact that the 4Runner is one of those vehicles that holds its value best ain't something to sneeze at. I am plumb tickled with my new purchase!

Its fun and sporty but also rugged enough to withstand anything. Ive never felt safer in a car, wish i would have bought one ages ago.
