Very reliable. have 55k. No problems. Mileage is not too good. about 16 in town(driving like a little old lady) . 20 on hy sometimes. However, ths is what it is supposed to get. Not very comfortable for me at 6'2" (legroom). My wife usually drives it and she is very comfortable. I am sure that it will last 200k easily.

Major Exhuast & Emission Problem

I have already taken my '08 Toy. 4Runner 5 times to 3 different Toyota dealerships for service... they've changed my catalytic converter and I still have a problem with my exhaust and emission system of this car. When I drive it in the highway in the speeds of 60 MPH and faster I get a real STRONG and HEAVY sulfuric and ammonia scent entering inside of the vehicle which gives me a headache and bothers my newborn baby. I basically cannot drive this automobile with my windows down!!! Toyota service is the worst that I've ever seen!!!

I thought that I should write because consumer reports had a bad review on the 2010 and I thought that this was ridiculous and I read in other magazines that the 2010 4Runner was better than many of the higher priced SUVs. I have had great time driving even through flooded roads and many snow storms and never had a problem.

As a Senior citizen, I have owned many vehicles in my lifetime. Most have been Toyotas. But this 4 Runner is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. Being a very short woman, for some reason the 4 Runner fits me great. I have tested many SUV's and cars and do not fit in them (not reaching pedals, etc.) but this Runner fits like a glove. Easy to maneuver and fun to drive. I love the 4 Runner.

Expensive yet spartan

Nice truck. Toyota reliability throughout, but they aren't giving anything away! If you want the nice features like lit-up window/lock/mirror controls on the door or a simple garage door opener, you better pony up a few more bucks.
