Had to purchase a replacement 2011 4Runner for my 2005 4Runner Sport Ed. due to damages from a body shop. I have to ask " What is Toyota thinking??" 1) This vehicle is severely under powered! Take off feels like being in 4 cylinder car w/ full power a/c 2) No gas latch / security 3) No cargo cover included w/ vehicle, Expensive purchase at $153.00 + tax or shipping/handling. 4) Lightning in the cargo are is crap, all lighting was installed on the back door. Non are actually in the cargo area/ Where you will actually be using. 5) Removed automatic back latch, have to slam down. 6) Why is a newer vehicle getting lower gas mileage than an older version?? 05 4Runner 19 new 17?? Really!!

2011 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)

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.
