    With 4000 miles now, everything has been great with this truck. We traded a Cadillac Escalade for this and we wonder why we didnt do it sooner. We have gotten excellent gas mileage for a SUV, its quiet, handles, amd brakes extremely well. One thing I would have like to have been able to get is height adjustment on the passenger seat. There is no need for a rear cargo door button because there is an electronic release on the outside of the cargo door. The motorized locking mechanisim is very nice for those who dont like to slam doors shut. The JBL stereo is very nice too. The 4.0 six is a great engine.

    The only thing Ive found frustrating is when I go to use the home link garage door opener at night. It would have been nice to have it back lit.

    The optional Navigation system is a must for anyone who travels and/or likes to have the latest gadget.

  • an underrated car - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    After comparing every SUV in the same price range, ($35,000-40,000) I choose the 4runner based upon features, quality, and looks, and have not been disappointed. This is one of the best designed cars I have owned; the interior features are great. The handling with the X-reas suspension is also excellent, and will easily exceed the limits that most people feel comfortable with. The ride and handling are excellent for an off-road capable SUV.

    Our first 4Runner but not our first Toyota. Outstanding features: ergonomically well thought out; very smooth on-pavement characteristics. Ample power with the V6, many of the features found on the higher-priced Lexus GX. A few insignificant issues have caused us to trade the vehicle for a Sequoia. The cabin didnt provide enough head room--with the seat fully lowered, I would brush the headliner with the top of my head. Also, the front windshield had imperfections which were distracting. A small rattle in the sunroof and high- frequency noise from the ventillation system added up to too many dissatisfactions for us to keep the vehicle.

  • Love my 4Runner - 2004 Toyota 4Runner

    This is a great mid-sized SUV. Weve had two Explorers and they dont begin to compare. Toyota just builds a better product. The 4Runner is a pleasure to drive, to the grocery store or on a long trip. Lots of nice features and very little not to like.

    Unbelievable when compared to the last model. The V8 gives you much more power. Still drives like a car but performs like a truck.
