Love Toyota

This vehicle is not only stylish but has a comfortable ride and plenty of space. I can easily pack up the baby, 2 dogs and my spouse with room to spare!

Excellent vehicle for the value

I?ve previously driven sports cars and sedans with the occasional crossover mixed in, but I wanted something different this time. This is the perfect car for anyone looking for a reliable SUV that can also do some fun stuff on the side. I have the TRD off road version and it?s been great so far. The only drawback is the miles per gallon you get for hwy and city. It?s a beast of a car so it does not compare to the mileage I got on my previous car (sedan) but I was given all of this information prior to purchase and the 4Runner still won me over.

Love my vehicle

This is a great vehicle. I had read a lot of good things about the 4Runner however it was even better than I imagined. Very happy with my purchase.

COMFORTABLE, PEP, LOOKS AND DESIGN

Just turned 400 miles today, but performance is excellent, smooth ride , and styling is almost unbelievable. Also, the 4Ruunner holds it's value quite well. Absolutely no complailnts today. Think I made a very wise choice. Previously had a Toyota Highlander, and it was an excellent, comfortable vehicle. Had 65,000 miles on it when traded and never had the slightest problem.

Best choice I've ever made

I'm loving everything about my 4Runner. Love the Toyota Service you get for the first two years. Safety, reliability and value is met with this purchase. Love it! We're buying another one in the next month.

Our first 4Runner

After an extensive research we finally decided to get a new 4Runner SR5 Premium. The key factors that led to purchasing this SUV were the Toyota's reliability, Low/High 4x4 transfer case, great resale value. Pros.: Fun to drive, solidly built, comfortable, off-road capabilities (low/high 4x4), 3rd. row seating, power/heated front seats, XM radio/navigation, moonroof, high resale value. Cons.: 4.0L V6 is thirsty, it's also sluggish when driving uphill compared to Tundra's V8, the transmission is still 5-speed in 2018, lack of locking rear differential on SR5, several safety features offered in Highlander such as Blind spot monitor are missing on all 4Runner models. Overall, the truck is fun to drive and we like it.

Smoothest 4X4 I have owned

The 2018 4Runner SR5 Premium, is an extremely versatile and pleasant vehicle to drive. The ride is very nice for a full size sport utility vehicle. I have driven much worse in this group, and only a couple that are nicer. The premium offers the Entune sound system with integrated navigation, and many apps for your convenience. The leather seats are heated in the seat and lower lumbar areas, but only in the front. We opted for the fold flat soft Tex third row seating, which are amazingly comfortable for the usually cramped and miserably uncomfortable positions. The key to their comfort is the fully adjustable and sliding second row of seats. This is an amazing component on the third row seat option that truly makes them average size adult capable. The four wheel drive components are typical of Toyota, and work flawlessly, and are aided by electronic actuated traction assist, traction control on/off buttons and decline traction assist. Each does exactly what Toyota claims. From the nicely laid out driver appointments to the on the fly 2wd to 4wd control knob, everything is in reach. We love the privacy window tinting that is part of the SR5 Premium package. Overall we love the vehicle.
