We were loyal gm buyers until we became tired of paying the repair bills. We decided to go for it and bought our 4Runner. I love it! It is so quiet on the road and is fun to drive, I am 5'10" and find it so comfortable. We have two boys that are still in booster and car seats and there is plenty of room. I am impressed by the gas mileage. I thought that it would be poor but it is better than my smaller GM suv. I could go on and on, I am glad we bought it!

I have had several SUVs prior to this starting with a 2000 Mercedes ML320 which I got rid of under the lemon law. Then 2002 Envoy, then 2003 Trailblazer both of which had transmission problems. 2005 I purchased 4 runner sport 6 cyl No problems. 2007 purchased 4 runner sport 8 cyl which actually does better with mpg. Not very stylish but love the comfortable drive does well in 4x, handles great. ample storage in rear including room for a full size wheel chair. Just wish the dash lights were no so hard to read during the day.

I bought a used 2007 Limited v8 4x4 after a lot of research. I wanted a rugged SUV for hiking, camping, and shooting. Jeep doesn't have Toyota's reliability, or resale value and I disliked the build quality of the Patriot I had. Look at a companies attention to detail on lower end models to see the quality of a company. 4runner was the only choice for me. I got mine with over 100k miles. I have had to put money into it but that's more due to the mileage and the previous owner was rough on it. Pros: Very reliable, I moved away from home in Colorado for a job in Texas and was a bit nervous. I felt like my 4runner was my only companion/lifeline and it was very reliable even though I neglecting maintenance. It's an old vehicle which means there are cheap parts around to replace anything broken. Better than that there are countless YouTube videos to assist if your in need. V8 is aggressive sounding and can chirp the tires if your turning right on red, even at 100k miles. Aftermarket support is massive. I'd love to get into overlanding once its paid off. No shortage of custom bumpers or lift kits. 4runner forums are exceptionally helpful. Feels like a stout SUV, not a unibody design that's made of cardboard. Can tow well up to 7500lbs...I've towed dozens of other cars and suvs. Rear window rolls down which allows air flow, and communication while offroading or towing someone. Looks great and is a 4runner, almost everyone likes them. Cons: Upfront costs are high/they sell quickly, I had 3 sell out from infront of me which was frustrating. Be patient and broaden your distance. Driving from Denver to Dallas was uncomfortable, no other way to say it. Seats aren't supportive for long trips. No seat cooling. Interior is ok but showing its age. V8 gas mileage sucks, 5 speed is strong but thirsty. I have a heavy foot but the v8 is hard not to rev out. I went to Moab and while I didnt go on any difficult trails it never wavered. Much more capable than most users will need. Summary: Great SUV that keeps me happy while Toyota figures out what to do with the Tundra/4runner redesign. Older vehicle without much of the newer tech...but without newer problems as well. SUVs are going to unibody designs now and EPA is seeping into everything. More technology on vehicles just mean more things can break and require specialization to replace which is expensive. I can do much of the maintenance on my 4runner myself. If you need a solid suv that and can afford the upfront costs look no further. I love my Funrunner! I follow vehicles closely and want a truck soon but the prices are insane. Ford, Ram, Chevy/GMC are redesigning their trucks to quickly to be proven. I'll wait for when either the Tundra or 4runner are redesigned. Summary: Great vehicle that lives up to its reputation. I'm at 128k miles and fully expect to double, maybe triple that. I am a firm believer of KISS when it comes to vehicles. Auto start stop is annoying, twin turbos aren't as reliable or steady as naturally aspirated v8s and there arent many replacements for displacement.

110,000 miles and haven't needed any repairs outside of normal wear and tear items. The vehicle still doesn't have a squeak or rattle and rides as nice as the day I drove it out of the dealer in 2007.
