Traded in a 2002 Yukon Denali. Everything about this 4Runner is an improvement. Especially handling, comfort and driveability. It will do everything the Denali would do better and will also go off road with authority. Gave up power driver seat only for $15,000 less. Very impressed so far.

This is our third 4Runner. Aside from the unavailabity of a standard transmission, I have no complaints with this vehicle. It is larger and more powerful than previous models and we get the same gas mileage

Exceeded my expectations

I bought my 4Runner 2500 miles ago and have been very pleased. The vehicle is very solid, quiet, and comfortable. The V6 has plenty of power and delivers it quite smoothly. A lot of people complain about gas milage, but for a two ton+ vehicle with good acceleration, I don't think 17-18mpg is bad. There are plenty of storage compartments and the interior seems intelligently laid out. The stock stereo sounds good, climate control works well and the vehicle is very impressive overall.

I waited 6 months before rating the 4Runner so I would be objective and not name struck. This vehicle is second to none, you can forget about other SUVs...at about 40-50% less than the price of "other" performance SUVs, you are getting rear end kicking performance, comfort and build quality 2nd to none. Don't even listen to anyone comparing this ride to an Exp or Path...I have taken this vehicle on rough roads, icy roads, and deep snow, the 4Run handles them all with ease. Drive this bad boy and you will see...

Bought our 04 4-runner and absolutely will never buy any other vehicle as long as they make it as good as this one. The reliability is awesome. I drive cross-country 2-3 times a year and I am very confident in this vehicle getting me where I'm going. I am 49 yr. old female and have it serviced regularly every 3000 miles. Same tires as the day we bought it with 20,000 more left. Done nothing to it but oil changes and check-ups at the Toyota dealerships. Still drives like the day we bought it and now has 74,000 miles. Will keep it til it falls apart, but plan on buying me a new one with the newer body style around 2012 or 2013. Way to go Toyota. You have a very satisfied customer here.
