  • My 4Runner - 2004 Toyota 4Runner

    So far, I cant find anything I dont like about my 4Runner. It has incredible power and what really suprises me is the GREAT gas mileage it gets, especially for a V8! I thought for sure that since it is an all time 4WD, that it would ride like a tank. I was wrong! It rides every bit as comfortable as any car and turns as tight. There is plenty of room inside and alot of nice features. I used to have a Ford (Found On Road Dead) Explorer, it doesnt even hold a candle to my 4Runner. You can definitely tell the difference, you know you are in a 100X better quality vehicle. Bottom line: I LOVE my 4Runner and I will never go back!

  • Excellent Vehicle! SR5 V6 4X4 4Runner 04 - 2004 Toyota 4Runner

    I have had my 4Runner for a couple months and about 2,000 miles now. It is as smooth and quiet as youd expect a car, but extremely capable when tackling one of Nebraskas worst snow falls. It meets all of my needs for a vehicle, and gets compliments from everybody. Thumbs up on this one Toyota!

    Great looking - too bad doesnt have chrome bumper. Slighest bump scratched body keyed color plastic front bumper. The set up for window & door loct buttons very very poor. Hidden under outside arm rest and lack quality to be able to see them in dark. There is only 1 accessory plug right under your right forearm in center consol. There is a 2d one but its back in cargo area - I also bought a Tundra and it has 3 in consol area and in convenient areas. Finally when the tilt wheel is brought down it obscures the directional signal lite on the dash. With all these poor configurations I still love it.

    This is a terrific SUV. It is luxurious and practical. For anyone with children and/or pets, this is a great vehicle. I will probably only buy toyotas from now on. The 4 Runner beats out the Jeep Grand Cherokee!

    Very solid well built SUV. The 4.0 engine is very quiet and smooth with plenty of power. Very nice cabin with lots of extras and well thought out.

    Love this vehicle! After driving a Chevy Blazer the last 8 years, this is unbelievable. Had been a Honda owner previous to the Blazer and missed the reliability and the way they stand behind their vehicles. Something GM seriously lacks. Considered Honda Pilot, but it lacked the towing capability. I believe I made the right choice with the 4runner!

  • One of the best cars I have owned - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I have owned domestic and so called foreign vehicles of all the ones I have owned this one is very reliable. I decided to purchase this SUV because, all the people I asked that owned Toyotas (some of the cars were very old, and some had over 248000 miles) couldnt say enough good things about it My family and I feel very safe and very happy to have one.

  • Ultimate Rig - 2004 Toyota 4Runner

    Great Power, awesome handling w/xreas suspension, superb interior acoutrements, jammin jbl stereo, billy goat off-road performance, exceptional build-quality, industry leading reliability. Love the Stratosphere Mica with the silver accent roof rack and bumpers. Beautiful 17" alloys look great. Dials and gauges easy to read and operate, and light up beautifully at night. Rack & Pinion steering is precise and tight. 4WD system works extremely well on gravel roads and on steep, rocky descents w/low-range mode. 4Runner has the best combination of on/off road performance, reliability and build quality of any SUV-period.

    Pretty nice having it in V8 ut the mileage is terrible. And it is kind of noisy and bouncy. Not very comfortable after driving it for a while.
