  Great SUV!! - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
  By Calidude - July 10 - 10:00 am

  This SUV is fantastic! It looks great and the interior looks futuristic. They should make the rear window roll up with the keyless but I love this SUV! You cant beat the looks and the build quality. This SUV has great pickup too - its pretty quick. Stock Sound system is decent too.

  2004 SR5 - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
  By KK - July 9 - 5:36 pm

  This is my first Toyota, owning mostly american cars/suvs in the past 30 years. I can say I am pleased with the 4runner overall, only having the most common complaint a loose driver seat. I even checked the 2005 and 2006 and its true, "they all do that". Just grab the drivers seat where your thigh would go and rock it back and forth. Toyota did replaced the seat, but had no change. I would buy this SUV again, but may lean towards the limited model or at least electric seats.

  Luv My 4-Runner - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
  By Bud Wiley - June 22 - 10:00 am

  For 5 years I drove a Cadillac Seville. I really liked its pep and comfort. On the highway or in town, the 4-Runner Limited has it beat hands down plus I have the added feature of comfort in the National Forrests and on logging roads.

  4runner - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
  By gmilonas - June 22 - 10:00 am

  I like the performance of the 4runner compared to my Ford Explorer. The 3rd row seats are terrible. They are cheap looking and poorly designed. I dont use them anyway, however if someone intends to... they are intended for young children only.

  I love my 4runner, worth every penny! - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
  By Titan - May 28 - 10:00 am

  I thought my old 4runner was amazing, but the 2004 model is spectacular, gorgeous inside and out, performance youd expect from a sports car. I am more than thrilled, I love it!

  Solid SUV gets better - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
  By Chiapas Chupacabras - May 28 - 10:00 am

  I had a 98 4Runner for 3 years. Returned it because the lease expired and drove an Integra for 2 years. I couldnt stand the small car and had to go back to my trusty SUV. The 98 4Runner was a very nice car, but Toyota has really refined this SUV over the years. Im still getting used to the exterior design, but everything else has been improved. Power is excellent, interior is more spacious, the old cupholders have been destroyed and replaced by a much more intelligent design. A little more headroom would be nice and those panels above the wheels still look weird, but Ive got no complaints about anything else.

  Bulletproof - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
  By mcurban - May 26 - 10:00 am

  Bought with 118,000 miles. Got a great deal and drives like new. Solid as a rock with no weird noises. Driver seat a little to short. Other than that its one of the best on the market for this year. You spend a little more but you get more. When the world ends the only thing alive will be cockroaches and toyotas. Customer for life! Thanks Edmunds great site very helpful!

  4Runner Fun - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
  By Bern - May 23 - 2:20 am

  I absolutely love drving this vehicle. After previously owning a 6- cylinder 4Runner, the enhancement of the V-8 is remarkable. Im able to get on and off the Beltway without any problems. I recommend a V-8 for anyone considering purchasing a 4Runner. This is my third 4runner in seven years. My sibling introduced me to the 4Runner in 1988 and I purchased my first 4Runner with a five speed manual transmission. Lots of fun to drive and a very sturdy vehicle. Im much more impressed by the new design and larger size of the 4Runner, combined with the V-8, JBL speakers, and so many more options, makes for such a delightful driving experience.

  First-time Toyota Owners - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
  By Ambys Owner - May 22 - 2:00 am

  This is our first Toyota and we love it! For an SUV, it handles very well and were impressed by the gas milage it gets - for this V8, we average about 19/20 mpg. Our previous SUV was a GMC Jimmy and there is no comparison.
