Just bought my 4Runner with 134,000 miles! Has been well maintained and runs like it is brand new! Super SUV for the money. (Hoping gas prices will go down soon!)

Excellent vehicle. Most reliable truck I have ever owned. Currently at 102000 miles and only have needed to do regular maintenance. Ride is what one would expect from a truck with such ground clearance. Exterior remains exceptional and interior is of good quality with only a few ergonomic issues. Would certainly buy another 4 Runner.

Saved My Life

This car is one of the best cars I have ever owned - it saved my life. I was in a major accident in my Toyota 4Runner. Hit a cement barracade head on and walked away. The front of the car was completely demolished, but the inside wasn't even damaged everything was fine - the seatbelt held like a champ, the air bags deployed. The police, the tow guy, the collision repair guy, and even my car appraiser were in awe that I walked away from it with just a bruise and burn from the seatbelt. I will never buy another vehicle other than a Toyota - Thanks Toyota for making a great car that saved my life!!!

I Love My 4Runner!!!

My 4Runner has 193,000 miles. I've never had any problems with it at all. In fact, more people buy 4Runners because of the quality and durability of mine than from teh commercials they've seen. They can't believe I'm knocking on 200,000 miles and still going strong. I bought it in 2001 with 120,000 and haven't looked back. I can't believe how well these trucks hold their retail value either. My next vehicle will be another 4Runner.

Bullet Proof!!

I have almost 140,000 miles on my 4Runner. The only repairs have been to replace the rear wheel bearing seals at 90,000 miles. Other than that it, has been routine maintenance. I am averaging over 40,000 miles per set of tires, and even put 90,000 miles on it before replacing the timing belt. I have replaced the front pads only twice, and the rear shoes only once. This thing is bullet proof and still looks brand new!!
