Great improvement over the '97 I traded in. Love the V8. Wonderful features inside. This car is loaded with goodies I didn't know it had until I had it a few days. The price was about the same as the '97 and it is three times the truck. I hate to call it a truck it has such a great ride. Can't beat the Toyota, I've had 8 Toyota's sence 1989 and the trade in value can't be beat

My First Toyota

Purchased the 4Runner in Dec '02 when they first hit the local market. Thought it was a little pricy, but felt it was a good value based on other Toyota owners' recommendations.It was exactly the right sized vehicle for my needs.It has good overall power and preformance from the 4.7 liter V-8.It also has an excellent, solid road feel. Steering, brakes, and handling are very good for an SUV. The only complains I have are terrible gas mileage (12.5 to 14 mpg!)and a slight vibration felt in the steering column and pedals under light acceleration. Service manager can't explain or get interested in finding the vibration. Overall a very satisfying vehicle.

I absolutely love my 2003 4Runner. It's roomy, comfortable, reliable and good looking, too. I also own a BMW 740 and my g/f comments on the 4Runner's good looks more often than the Bimmer. In fact, given the option, she'd drive the 4Runner first. Interesting. The Toyota V8 is a beautiful running engine and I still get a respectable 17 mpg around town, 21 highway. Oh, I also appreciate the good ground clearance, 4WD and ABS because I live in snow country. This thing is very sure footed.

Excellent Truck

A truly great sport ute. Size is plenty big but not too big. Acceleration with the V8 is beeter than could be expected in a truck this size. The handling, espcially in corners, is also excellent for a truck its size. The only complaint is gas mileage, but with a truck like this you should know that will stink.
