  • 2004 SR-5 V-8 - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    Nothing says reliability like Toyota. Its off-road capabilities are legendary. The ride is extremely capable. The fit and finish on the interior and exterior is outstanding. there is absolutely no creeking, squeeking or rattling of any kind. The power is great, although they increased the horses for 2005 to a reported 282 from 235. The torque went up 10 lbs. I didnt feel a big difference between the two when test driving. The only complant I have is the seat comfort and head room. The steering columb feels like its too far away causing fatigue in my arms. Also, because I am 6, my head is only 1 inch from the ceiling. But with its distinctive looks and preceeding reputation, who cares.

  • Sweetness on 4 large wheels - 2004 Toyota 4Runner

    I traded in my 2002 Jeep Liberty on a new 4 runner SR5 with the V8 so I could more easily tow my boat. My old Liberty is a cattle car compared to my 4Runner. In virtually every way its a superior vehicle. Rides great and very quiet. The V8 is smooth as silk and gets better gas mileage than the v6 in my liberty did. Interior/exterior quality is as good as it gets off the assembly line. Ive yet to find a flaw. This thing drives exceptionally stable. Try an emergency avoidance maneuver in any other SUV may scare the heck out of you. The 4Runner handles this well and inspires confidence. You know where its gonna go. That was not the case for my old liberty

  • Solid as a ROCK - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I purchased MY 2004 4runner sr5 6 cl last month. All I have to say is WOW!!! Coming from a 98 Jeep Grand cherokee, this is a mojor upgrade. The Car has so much more room then the Jeep. I needed a bigger SUV, but I didnt want a gas guzzller. This was the best fit. The car is super quiet, and smoth on all road conditions. If I had to describe the car in 1 one it would be "Solid". The price is also right for all the Statdards too.

    I also own a 99 4Runner and the 2004 is a quantum leap in handling and comfort. The car feels very solid and has smooth, rapid acceleration. The price of the V 8 engine has dropped. The Sport edition has a high tech look, but still pleasing to the eye.

  • You really do get what you pay for(alot) - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I originally intended on purchasing a new Trailblazer but was scared off by its current lack of reliability. Final choice was between 4runner and the Honda Pilot. For me, the only catagory won by the Pilot was interior space and that wasnt enough. Absolutely love the smooth, quiet ride of this vehicle! Power is effortless and surprising for a vehicle over 2 tons. While it took a little while adapting to the climate control system, the optional JBL stereo system is definitly worth the money. 4x4 ability is excellent with the exception of front and rear overhangs and side clearance.
