My 2005 4Runner Review

I have always liked the 4 Runner's,so I bought an 05 in January.I really like the look and feel. Has lots of interior room and features. It runs very well with lots of power. I have already had problems with mine though. My sun roof got a glitch in the computer which was easily repaired. At 1,000 miles the rear brakes started making a groaning sound. I had one rear rotor replaced because it was glazed at 1K miles. I have taken it to my dealer 4 times for the brake noise. The last time I was told that ALL the 05 4Runner's make that sound and that pretty much I would just have to deal with. I called 2 other dealers to ask if they have had that problem, one said yes the other said no.

I had a 2002 Honda CRV and was happy with it but I could not go on the beach. I just bought the 2005 SR5 $wheel drive and can say tha it drives better than the Honda. The truck get over 20 mpg, what a surpise. I did test drive a few other trucks but I like Toyouta's reputation and quality of build. This is more truck than car and that was another determing factor. If I want a "car like ride" I would buy a car.

I've had my 4Runner for 3 weeks and it drives great, but I'm disappointed with squeaks and rattles coming from the back seat and moonroof. The engine also has a disturbing ticking sound when idling. It's going back to the dealership tomorrow so they can try to fix it again.

I drive this SUV in 3 western states covering my sales territory. It's good balance of comfort, 4 wheel drive option, and mid-sized capability. No real complaints. I'm not in love with the body style but...
