Used 2019 Toyota 4Runner Consumer Reviews
Just drive one
If you are looking for the absolute latest and greatest tech and you NEED all that gadgetry...look elsewhere. If you want a comfortable ride, fantastic reliability and build quality, insane resale value, tons of functionality and just a car that never disappoints, well that is the 4Runner. Wife and I drove over 20 cars. Jeep, Land Rover, Nissans, Fords etc. Everyhing in the Toyota feels buttoned up, analog / large buttons for easy use and access, doors feel solid, no rattles or squeaks. I personally think the ride is amazing although it is NOT a sporty car and yes, has body lean if you are taking corners fast. You might want to look at the Edge St or a Porsche if that’s you. The 4Runner just IS. Doesn’t need stance or pomp or tons of bells and whistles. We LOVE this car. Two nit picky things. 1. Yes mileage isn’t great but knowing the engine will last me basically forever..I’m ok with it. 2. Engine needs a little more HP. Can be a little sluggish sometimes but you get used to it and the transmission is actually pretty good so it’s not terrible. Again, I didn’t buy this truck for its cornering or speed :)

4Runner Off Road Premium
Absolutely love this truck. Solid, Tough, Excellent Reliability, Roomy ( I’m a big guy ) Powerful Enough, Great Ride, Fantastic Ground Clearance and it’s looks AWESOME!! I did my research as others have and Toyota hasn’t changed much in the last Ten year because they haven’t had to. It’s that close to perfection. I opted for the 19 over the 20. Less safety features to go bad in the future. My road to my house is basically a two track and living in the U.P. of Michigan deep snow is a certainty. Snow mud ruts no problem. Just wash it and go. Every time I get into this unit I have ZERO worries or concerns can’t say that about any other truck or suv I’ve owned. After 8 months of ownership and going through a tough winter and a hot summer I’m happy to report ZERO issues and I’m just as happy with my 4Runner as I was the day I bought it. Just wish I would have purchased one sooner. Excellent SUV. I’ll update more as time passes. Update; After one year of ownership were still as happy with the 4Runner as the day we purchased it. Zero issues this is a tough as nails dependable issue free SUV. This year we've gone in places we should never have been by accident and this unit didn't even blink. Deep MUD for thousands of feet snow and more snow, ruts and steep sideways inclines not a problem. This thing is so solid and well made it may be my last SUV purchase. Does it have the nicest ride? NOPE. Does it have all the electronic bells and whistles? NOPE. Either does a tank.

Off Road Tank
I bought this to be an off-roader, not everyday commuter. It is exactly what I was looking for, a new vehicle with old school reliability built tough. It has been proven throughout the years and that's why it hasn't changed much. My only complaint is the halogen lights. This should have updated LED's. Everything else is simple and very effective. Update: Had it for over a year now and it still impresses me. Took it around Mojave, Victorville, and Borrego Springs. A lot of aftermarket off-road upgrades out there. Update: Over 2 years now and still love it. No issues, no regrets. I can see why Toyota has not updated this vehicle that much in over a decade. Already a gem. That is why I bought it. Update: Going on 4 years and still no complaints. Update: 5 years and no complaints. I had the fuel pump recall done and initially had some codes after installation. Dealer fixed the issue and is now perfect.

4Runner SR5 Premium 4WD
Great truck. Solid feel. Love the higher ride. Not quick but plenty of cruising power. Controls are in the right places; very simple to use. Took it on a road trip the week after we bought it and love it. Couple of caveats 1) no keyless push button starter? To me that’s an oversight in an SUV this nice. 2) middle row does not fold flat in the SR5 with a third row. TRD models all lack a third row but the seats fold flat in the back. 3) gas mileage is underwhelming. I wasn’t expecting too much from a large displacement 6-cyl but we couldn’t even manage 20mpg over 900 miles of highway. 4) voice activation on nav system is quirky. Toyota just needs to refine this truck a bit and it will be top notch. It’s really close already and I look forward to the many adventures ahead of us.

2019 4Runner TRD Off Road
Reliability and safety? Inclimate weather? Not a problem. Only drawback is the sparse and antiquated driver assist features. This is more of a utilitarian beast that's home on road and off. Hands down winner over the last 14 Jeeps I've owned. (Slow learner I guess.) . Easy to drive and maneuver. Buy the extended warranty offered by Toyota. Like most manufacturers, 3yr/36000 as a standard warranty, leaves you open to expense should anything go wrong down the road.
