  • Brake & gas pedals - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    The gas and brake pedals are too close together for people who have size 12 feet or bigger, my shoe at times gets somewhat caught on the left side of the sole with the right side of the brake pedal, I have contacted Toyota twice about this problem, no responce yet, this could cause a delay in stopping and a crash could occure; my wife is the primary driver and she has a size 8 foot and has noted this also. There needs to be a recall for this problem.

    What an amazing SUV. Im surprised at how Toyota went ahead and perfected even more an SUV that was already one of the most reliable ones in the market today. Its even better, stronger more dependable and comfortable and best looks outhere.You know youre in a big SUV.Excellent handling the controls are so smartly layed out you dont have to look around much to figure them out, especially the A/C its all very simple to adjust and operate, I enjoyed the information panel where you can see outside temperature and miles to empty displayed and the light orange color dashboard is appealing and soothing to the eye. Way to go Toyota.

    Outstanding performance,good pick-up when merging to an interstate. During icy condition, sets alarm to alert driver of skidding. Ease of view when changing lanes. Storage is adequate with folding back seat, can accomodate long large load. Beats other types of vehicle in an uphill terrain. Full tank I use for a week in a 60 + mile commute daily. Sits 5 adults comfortable. Handles sharp turn well.

  • I love my 4-Runner - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I have had comments from multiple people regarding the style and beauty of my vehicle. When asked how I enjoy my vehicle I can only respond "I love it". I have always enjoyed the reliability of Toyota vehicles, and also the drive, this is the first vehicle I have owned that I can truly say I love to drive. I find excuses to get in my SUV to drive.

    I am so glad I decided to purchase this vehicle...I couldnt be happier.

  • Pretty much what I expected - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I purchased the 4 Runner after winning a lemon law claim against Audi. All wheel drive was a premium, but I was hesitant to get a SUV because of the gas mileage. So far Ive been happy with the performance. The 4-Runner is fun to drive, easy to drive and very reliable. Although Toyota says 18 mpg on the highway I can get about 20 depending on the conditions. The interior is below average, compared to the Audi A4 (which is exceptional). One last thing, getting around in bad weather is easy, but the Audi was more stable. Ive also had no mechanical problems which is important to me following the Audi problems.

  • Best SUV in its class - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I test drove a lot of SUVs in its class and once I drove the new 4Runner, I could not find another SUV that came even close to the performance, body style, comfort, leg room and mpg. I feel sorry for all those people who bought the Ford Explorer. Yes, I test driven it also. Yes, the 4Runner is better.
