Bought my 4-Runner Thanksgiving of 2011 & I wouldn't trade her for any other vehicle on the road. She has been to Mackinac, North Carolina (twice) South Carolina, Georgia, Oklahoma, New Orleans & never had her in the shop for repairs. We live in NW Ohio where the winters have been pretty brutal the last couple years & she never failed to get me through deep snow & rough roads. We will keep her till the wheels rust off. My husband has a 2007 Tundra that also is still going strong with no shop repairs. Toyota makes the best vehicles on the road bar none.

2011 LTD purchased new, now 95K miles; 7 years in CA, the rest in AZ - check out "2011 4Runner options" so I don't need to list them all. Pros: I feel safe being able to see over and around smaller vehicles; hoping it has more steel than a small/small Toyota. And then...I'm amazed at some of the reviews that said it has a lot of horsepower compared to their V-8, etc.. I call mine "the gutless wonder". From a standing stop it can't get out of its own way - I leave a lot of room between me and any incoming vehicles. Even worse if I'm making a turn to a slight grade or hill - Yikes! And when already moving at 40+mph it struggles on a grade or hill whether I stay in a lower gear or put it in 'passing'--catalytic converter very smelly. I have a light foot on the accelerator & brakes. Mileage stats don't match any of the good reviews. 13mpg around town in the big city with long stop lights. 19.1 combined where I live now more highway than town. 19.4mpg freeway when driving 65mph or less; Take it 70+ and it's down to the high 18s. A/C cools down nicely, takes a bit longer in AZ but haven't had any problems. Good upper level fan power (yes my hair blows), less power when using the upper/lower level combined but >acceptable. More road noise inside than other cars I've had -- a 2002 Ford Taurus before this that had A LOT more get up and go and quiet along with 25+mpg city and freeway. Brakes have always been soft even after two sets beyond the factory. Factory battery lasted eight years until my grandson played in the back and left a light on for a couple days w/o me realizing it. I'm keeping it until something expensive goes wrong. So far only normal maintenance except for the first shocks/struts for some reason needed at 40K. It's been reliable. 95/100K maintenance cost was a shock. Next vehicle I buy I will definitely check out the ability to get up and go in all conditions, along with the mileage - I won't believe the posted stats.

I've bought '11 model more than one year ago v6 4L. It feels really big but controls are easy and comfortable. Heating-cooling controls do not work properly-you cannot adjust normal temperature. the gas mpg is pretty good for this monster especially if ECO mode is on. Driving very smooth and slow that annoying in the city traffic.
Solid truck

I did a lot of research into different SUV options and the 4Runner came out on top. The European options such as the Land Rover, MB M-class, and BMW X-series are all great options, however in these tough economic times the cost differential simply can't be justified - initial purchase price will be $10k+ over a Japanese option and the maintenance charges are outrageous. Since I do not anticipate going off road, I opted for the 4x2 Limited model. Looks just as good and it is a bit cheaper. While the truck may not be that exciting in terms of fun to drive, the reliability is the main reason I bought it. Do some research and you'll be amazed at the statistics around the 4Runner.
