If you dont live or drive in a rural or wild area, the alot of the virtues of this vehicle may be meaningless to you. I think thats why alot of the magazine reviews call it "old school" body on frame, needs more power, more gears, etc. IMHO, the 4Runner is the real deal if you need to transport moderate quantities of horse (2) dog(2) and human supplies, have to go "off road" regularly ...to pass oncoming vehicles on our country roads and pull a 3000 gvw utility trailer when needed. Cheap to own and operate. Great VALUE for the dollar. Clean it up and it looks and drives good enough to go anywhere including 1200 mile trips from PA to FL twice a year with 2 Labs in the back. Understand, I am in a bit of a downsize mode. The suburbans, 4-door duallys and gooseneck trailers are gone, but we are just a 2 horse operation now and the kids are gone. Had an interlude of X-5 BMWs' and M and GL Mercedes too. Great in many ways but overpriced and over-complicated for what I really need a vehicle to do. If you like good value and understand and appreciate good engineering and design, 4runner will work for you. If you need to keep up with the Jones's there are a ton of other choices out there.

Tough Decision - So Glad I Bought It!

I agonized over buying a mid-sized SUV. I looked at all the usual suspects, including the Explorer, Tuareg and Grand Cherokee. In the end, I chose the 4-Runner because of its off-road capability. I also find that it handles very well, and is very smooth, on the freeway. Don't listen to many reviews of this vehicle, as it's great. I opted for the Limited for the interior upgrades. I love the stereo system - great sounding radio and CD. The one compromise, in my opinion, was the 20-inch wheels. They are more highway-ready than off-road capable, given that they are more narrow than their 17-inch counterparts on the SR5 and Trail. So far, it's performed great, even off-road. Second review. Now with over 10,000 miles on the vehicle and considering it's now 'broken in', I had hoped to realize more MPG. I still get 18.9 to 19.00 for all-around driving. Even interstate driving doesn't positively affect the MPG. So be it. I knew this when I purchased it. It handles well, and the engine is powerful and I like the growl. Third review. After owning this vehicle for two years now, it's proved to be a great investment. Only had one repair/maintenance issue, which was the window motor on the passenger-rear window malfunctioned. Toyota fixed it gratis - probably covered under warranty. I'd complained about gas mileage previously, and it's getting better MPG now that it's fully broken in. Done some non-challenging off-road excursions with the 4Runner, and it's been up to the task. On the highway, the ride continues to be solid and smooth. And, as mentioned before, I love the sound system. For people who do not like the Entune system, I find it intuitive and easy to operate. I look forward to many years of future reliable service from this vehicle. Fourth review. With over 22,000 miles now, the 4Runner operates smoothly and efficiently. Haven't hit 20mpg yet, though. Still the number one complaint - the gas mileage. Glad that gasoline is still cheap. I've experienced no problems, and Toyota maintenance is great, with oil changes, tire rotations, etc. Still glad I bought it. Fifth review. Now, with over 36,000 miles the 4Runner continues to be a great and reliable vehicle. No problems except for a rear window with a faulty motor, but Toyota replaced it free of charge. I have no regrets and highly recommend a 4Runner to people.

2nd 4Runner: excellent vehicle

Replaced a 2010 Limited 4WD 4Runner last year with the 2015. 2010 was close to perfect. Never spent a penny on the vehicle. This one feels the same and it should: it is unchanged for the most part. Front seating comfortable, build quality perfect, A/C-Heat excellent, Satellite Radio works fine, good braking. We get 22-23 mpg on highway. Areas for improvement on the 2017 redesign: better navigation system, improve torque on the 270, have to get the offset crash test results up to 5 star. The current model gets only 3 stars in the offset crash. A nice tight diesel would work well in this SUV, we would buy a diesel over gasoline model, but that will wait as 4Runners seem to just keep going. Consumer Reports unfairly compared the 4Runner SR5 to Pilot top model. SR5 does not have the soft suspension so the comparison and low rating by CR is not valid. The 4Runner is a well built SUV, of sturdy feel, and unquestioned reliability. The price is quite low for such an SUV with leather seating. Bi-Xenon lighting would be a great addition, halogens are just average. 2nd Review: so far, nary a problem with this or the previous 4Runner. Technology is poor. Needs serious upgrade to dash controls and NAV system. Need to ditch the DVD NAV system and go with hard drive system. Vehicle is tightly built and performs well. We will always own a 4Runner and this one will be replaced with the newer model in a couple of years. Resale/trade on 2010 model was excellent. 3rd Review: no problems whatsoever. Navigation system is terribly archaic with tiny screen. 2nd row seating yields rough ride, front row okay. Engine not enough torque or horsepower for this size vehicle. Safety features lacking.

2017 Limited 4X4 is about 8 months old now and no issue's of any kind to report. I opted for the 4X4 Limited at $45,300. I planned to tow a 16' boat and the four wheel drive helps for pulling out of the boat ramp. I also chose the optional 3rd row seat and I'm glad I did because we've loaded up with family and friends on several occasions when no one else's vehicle could fit us all. I'm averaging 20.1 mpg combined city and hwy miles everyday to and from work. One thing I noticed that affects my mpg is when I use the AC in the summertime I go down to about 18.5 mpg. I also selected the remote start on the key fob but it's been pretty useless since it shuts off once you touch the door handle so what I prefer to do for example on hot days is I had the dealer program the key fob to roll down all the windows and sunroof when I press and hold unlock and it helps cool the interior quickly on those hot summer days. The 6.1 screen size is average to good and the Entune Infotainment system is also average to good. The sound system on the Limited is very good and plenty loud. The ride and handling are exceptional and there's no rattling sounds to be heard anywhere. The seats are comfortable on long drives except for the 3rd row seat which I would describe as cramped and more suitable for kids or shorter people. The engine acceleration especially when towing or going uphill is not as responsive as you might want but again thats not the 4Runner's main selling point. I really like that I can take my 4Runner to the boat ramp or out on the town and it performs well and looks really good at either place! This is a great all-around vehicle that so far has performed wonderfully well and I expect to own for many years. **UPDATE** After a few years now I would say my original review was on-point and there's nothing I would really change except that infotainment screen sizes on other models have increased quite a bit since my original purchase yet Toyota continues to offer standard smaller screen sizes even on their most expensive vehicles. I think they really need to change that. This is an important feature especially when using Navigation. Also, this version of their 6-cyl engine is a bit dated and gets poor fuel economy and not as much horsepower compared to some of the other newer engines out there now.

Great truck

5 years into ownership of my 2015 4Runner Limited, I can say I have really enjoyed this truck. I love the power and cargo capacity. It also still looks great and performs great. It certainly doesn’t have some of the features other SUVs offer (i.e. technology package including lane change warnings), but extremely reliable and a great looking truck. I just got another positive comment on Sunday about what a great truck I own. I do mostly highway miles and get 19 mpg.
