SUV with the soul of a truck

By Juan Casero written on 10-16-2016

I just purchased this vehicle. I traded in a Volkswagen Tiguan that I purchased last year in order to get the 2016 Toyota 4Runner. What people say is true. This vehicle handles like a light truck. It accelerates like one and brakes about the same as one. I already owned a 2005 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport and the new 4Runner feels newer but very similar to my Tacoma. This is not necessarily a bad thing. I spent a year with one of those car like SUV crossovers and I was not that enthused about it. The Tiguan did not seem as durable as the 4Runner and certainly not as spacious in the interior. Yes you get slightly better fuel economy from the Tiguan but not as much as you might think. The Tiguan is a turbo charged 2.0 liter engine and that little engine can consume lots of fuel when the turbo charger kicks in at highway speeds. The durability of the 4Runner should pay dividends as the vehicle gets older. I also like that it's a naturally aspirated engine. Turbo chargers are high maintenance systems that I don't have alot of experience with. Having spent the last 10 years with my Tacoma which has basically the same engine as the 4Runner I know how to do maintenance on it. I like to do my own repair and maintenance work so this is a big plus for me.

Oil leak problem a national problem!!! Beware!

By Jacqueline Barragan written on 07-18-2017

I bought this car in November, and have had it in the shop three different times for a problem they think they can fix, yet keep getting it wrong. They say it is a national problem that has not resulted in a recall yet, but they cannot get it fixed. I am paying large sums of money for a car I cannot drive because it is always in the shop, with no end in site. Toyota claims department was very nice at first, now will not return calls, will not divulge phone number of claims rep or management, and simply stopped caring about me and my horrific car buying experience. I will never own another Toyota, and need to call an attorney next. Breaks my heart that they will not just help me, and avoid all this.

Pick something else

By Steve Ott written on 04-10-2016

I wanted to get one because it's one of the last of the body-on-frame SUVs. The ride wasn't as bad as some reviews led me to believe. However, I don't think the vehicle is worth what the dealer was asking. There didn't seem to be a lot of room inside, and the cargo tray option is one totally useless POS.
