  A Fantastic Adventure Travel Vehicle! - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By George - December 21 - 12:20 pm

  We ordered our 4Runner from Japan because we couldnt buy a Sport Edition with GPS navigation off a dealers lot. We also added 4WD. The car rides and handles great. ZERO mech. probs. Powerful V6 with decent economy. You really dont need the V8. The 4WD and off-road stability systems are amazing. I used them in a rare snow & ice storm in the Chisos Mtns in Big Bend National Park and was amazed at this SUVs sure-footedness. A few quibbles: Front cupholders stink. Must contort arms & hands to reach window and door lock switches on doors. Tire pressure and oil change idiot lights are annoying to reset. Overall, though, we LOVE this SUV. Even $4 gas cant persuade us to part with it!

  Couldnt be better! - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By Yssisa - December 13 - 2:16 pm

  This car is amazing! Smooth rides, great handling, an all-a-round do everything car. Towing is exceptional (towed a 6x12 trailer for 2000 miles and didnt even notice it). Off road would be fun, but my wife wont let me take her car off road. I want another for myself. One person said the low-preasure light for the tire comes on. I found it to be the spare tire. All the other tires get checked and the spare gets forgotten. Toyota even has a sensor on the spare... way cool, but dont forget it or the light will bug you.

  A Great Choice!! - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By Vinny Turner - October 26 - 3:40 pm

  After driving this for three weeks, Im am soooo happy that I purchased this vehicle. Smooth and comfortable ride for an SUV. The V6 provides plenty of power and the gas mileage is better than I expected. Plenty of leg room for both the front and back seats (Im 65"), though the headroom could be a tiny bit higher. Quiet ride and responsive steering. Easy access to all instrument controls. This is the first imported car Ive ever owned and I should have gone import many years sooner. My 2000 Ford Explorer was a headache from day one! Other than buying a Corvette in the future, Ill never buy American again. Toyota will have a customer for life!

  Great - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By New4Runner - October 16 - 8:50 pm

  I recently bought this, and I like it even better after owning it for a few months. Its already beeen put to the test of many miles of washboarded roads and some moderate off roading on construction sites, and the thing that impresssed me most is the absence of even a single rattle over the bumps. I got it without the sunroof, because if you are over 6-foot, youll scrape your head on the sunroof.

  No regrets - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By Sen A - September 12 - 11:13 pm

  Very comfortable drive compared to my last car was a 2002 Pathfinder. The balance of the car while taking curves are remarkable due to its wider wheelbase. Some of the interior features could have been improved but overall excellent vehicle.

  best mid-size SUV ever owned! - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By shawn podraza - September 9 - 1:56 pm

  Had limited 01 explorer v6 under powered and gas hungry.Test drove v6 and v8 toyota 4runner, v8 won my heart! Smooth and quick acceleration, love the JBL 10 speaker sound system,heated leather seats and mirrors.Had record snow this Dec. over 24 inches the 4 runner V8 AWD performed flawlessly,drove through snow drifts 4ft high with little loss of traction, it powered through like a true awd gladiator.The 4runner has had no problems in the 3 yrs that I have owned it. I have co-workers that are american suv guys they have commented on how sharp looking my 4runner is.The interior is exceptional sharp and exterior turns many heads.But it drives like a dream and am very satisfied with reliability

  Oh What A Feeling - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By Dawn Kennedy - August 17 - 1:13 am

  I love my 4x4 Limited 4Runner. Its a V6 yes, but much more power than my minivan sienna had so Im happy enough. I have not been this much in love with a vehicle, ever. I still appreciate it and still love driving it after 6 months of ownership. The quality of this vehicle is very high, as well as the value retention. I still want to be driving this vehicle in 10 years and am sure it will still be going strong. The 4Runner V6 has great pickup, gets head-turning looks, and is just plain fun to drive. The Limited has the leather, heated seats, sun roof, dual air stations, the list goes on. My ONE complaint is that there are not enough cup holders in the front seat.

  Awesome - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By kkm - July 24 - 12:43 pm

  You will not find a better SUV on the market. Everthing is excellent about the 4Runner. A smooth quiet ride. Good acceleration and for an SUV, the gas mileage is not that bad.

  Owned Three - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By Gene Craven - June 13 - 11:23 pm

  I have owned three limited models and have found them to be bullet proof. Just change the oil and keep on driving. I would recommend these suvs to anyone that is looking for trouble free vehicles. Great car to drive and own.
