Awesome SUV. Best in class by far

This SUV is my 2nd 4Runner and they just keep getting better. I LOVE the quality and feel of the leather, it is 10 times better than cloth. The heated seats are a really cool, or should I say hot feature! Although my car-loving son uses them more than I do, they are still an excellent touch on frosty mornings. This car has a punchy V6 that provides plenty of power. The stereo sounds like music from heaven and I also like the 6-disc CD changer, I also enjoy this car's ULTRA-quiet cabin and soft ride and yet you can still feel the road. I am in love with this car and will continue to buy them untill a better car comes out (which will probably not happen).

This thing is the best vehicle I have ever had, hands down. I have had it for only a little over a month now and I still look for any excuse to drive it. I am amazed how tightly built this vehicle is. I had an 01 Explorer Eddie Bauer before this and there is no comparison. Extremely quiet, incredible power, great features. I am a Toyota owner for life now.

Picked up a 2005 4-runner V6 limited in March 05 and thus far am very satisfied. Exterior is visually pleasing as is the interior. Build quality seems exceptional. Controls are well placed and designed. Plenty of cup holders a plus. Drives well for a mid-sized SUV and in comparison to other similar SUVs, road manners are more refined. Actually feels like a tank on the road with regards to safety. Definitely very excited to get up in the morning and drive to work these days.

Best I've ever owned

Since I've purchased this vehicle, it continues to surprise me. It's fantastic in the woods and terrific on the highway. I've had three people ask me if they could buy it from me after they've ridden in it with me. I have never owned a better vehicle and all I've ever owned were four wheel drive trucks or SUV's. This is an absolute must if you want to get where you're going, no matter what type of weather or what type of road. It's the most dependable vehicle I ever owned...not one problem since I bought it. I absolutely cannot say enough about it - it's great. I travel for a living and it's a pleasure to go anyplace with this vehicle. Awesome!!!

Best Choice I have made in a vehicle!

I have been a pickup truck buyer for a long time (20 years or more) and I decided this time to look into an SUV for myself and I fell in love with the looks of the 4runner. I didn't know until after I test drove and then bought this SUV how much I was going to love it! The performance, feel, muscular stance and appearance and quality of build is impressive. I will definitely buy another one if I ever decide to trade this (don't know when that will happen!).
