Used 2002 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4WD 4dr SUV (3.4L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Great Design and Reliable
Always liked the look of this truck, so I decided to buy a used one 2 yrs ago with 48K on it. Would have got a newer one, but didn't like the newer body style as much. Been driving this for 2 years now, and it currently has 59K (don't drive much). My expectations have been easily surpassed, and I really like this truck. Its design is very well thought out. I don't think the car has a blind spot (great visibility) and the reliability is unbelievable. I just change the oil and let it do its thing. Only thing that has gone wrong with the truck is the power antenna, which seems to be a common problem. Other than this minor inconvenience, the truck has been great and I highly recommend it.
Mechanically excellent "but"
4runners have an excellent rep. If you buy one and don't need 4wd, what's the purpose? We drive this car on the beach and in snow. Absolutely no problem, never. == (Con't). to get out of 4wd low. I have the six cylinder and it is a good engine around town or down the road. In my opinion it lacks a little power. If you have 4 men and bags and you want to engage highway traffic you need to stomp on it. I would not trailer anything heavy unless it is very local travel. The V8 maybe be a better option you be the judge. The seat is good if you are a normal size man, for me it doesn't provide enough support in the right places for a LONG trip. The AM radio is terrible - static.

Why did I buy a 4Runner?
My 4Runner has been more trouble than it is worth. Between faulty stereos (I'm up to three now), the paint peeling off the front bumper (which Toyota will not consider a factory defect), and the vibration problems, I am wondering if I just got a lemon or if Toyota's high ranking for quality is nothing but a bunch of hype. I can say that if I don't get these problems resolved soon that I will get rid of that albatross and get something more dependable and mechanically sound.
FITS ME AND EXTRA KIDS
RUNS GREAT, GREAT POWER FOR A 6 CYL VEH. LOTS OF ROOM FOR TALL FOLKS. DON'T HAVE TO STEP UP OR SIT DOWN IN JUST SLIDE RIGHT IN TO THE SEAT. STEREO SYSTEM WITH CD JUST GREAT. CAN TAKE KIDS AND DOG, GROCERIES ETC. ALL AT ONCE. THIS IS MY SECOND 4 RUNNER BUT FIRST 6 CYL. AUTOMATIC.
2002 4Runner Last Of The Beautiful Style
The truck is nice very nice. I've had it for almost 3 months now and I'm happy with it. My friends love it, my parents love it, people who I don't even know love it. It seems like everyone likes this SUV. At almost 4000 miles on it, it still has the new car smell. It rides great, sounds great and just is a great all around SUV. I had an 89 Camry before this and this was a great little car and I expect this new Toyota to be a great car as well. We'll see as the months and years go by how it turns out.
