Review
The experience has been better than
expected. The smooth responsivness is
incredible. It is fun to drive and will
be a while before the excitement wears
off. I don't have many cons on this
vehicle. The one thing that could have
been done better is the climate
contrals. I can't seem to get used to
the multiple steps to get what I want
in climate comfort.
Overall, this vehicle has been mt best
SUV I have ever owned.

I've owned 3 Toyota trucks and two
american 3/4 ton trucks in the past
that I greatly enjoyed, but this new
4Runner takes things to a whole new
level of pleasure. Vehicles just
don't get much better than this!
The V8 and 5 speed auto are silky
smooth with plenty of power. For a V8
it gets decent milage 15-16 city and
19-22 highway, the best being 24mpg.
The JBL sound system is the best
factory system I've heard, although it
could still use more bass. I do wish
there was an aux input for an mp3
player though.
The ride is pure pleasure.
I could go on and on about how much I
love this truck, but I'm limited to
700char.

PROS: This is the second SUV I have
owned (the first was a Pathfinder) and
am very impressed by the smooth and
powerful 245hp/V6 engine. If you are
not bent on towing a lot, this would be
a better choice than the V8.
The interior is quiet refined and
comfortable. This definitely gives you
more value for your money than owning a
BMW X5. I rate this as an EXCELLENT BUY!

I just bought my new 2003 4runner
limited with navigation. I LOVE THIS
CAR! When I got
into the new 4runner, I was amazed! It
is as/more comfortable than anything I
have ever riden in, including top-of-
the-line Mercedes/Jags, etc. The touch
screen navigation system is simple and
fast to use, and the sound system is
amazing! The fact that it came
standard with towing capacity and roof
rails saved me a good $1000 from having
to get them installed after-market. I
can't say enough about this vehicle!!!

I love this truck. I wanted a sporty
car but really needed a truck. The
4runner (w/V8) has incredible
acceleration and handles like a car. I
use it frequently to take clients out
and it has plenty of room for 4 adults
(I owned a 2000 4runner for 4 motnhs
and got rid of it because it was too
small and too underpowered.)

The dashboard instrument cluster is
like looking into a tunnel and very
hard to focus on the dials. The clock
is part of th climate control and is
very difficult to see in bright light.
The back door needs to have a remote
latch in the drivers area instead of
using your key lock. The mirror needs
to have a light, all ladies look for
this option. Other than the mentioned
deficiencies the truck is great.
