  New 4Runner - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By Jay - January 17 - 6:46 pm

  Recently purchased 2wd SR5 4Runner. What a pleasant surprise! I was about to purchase a Pathfinder until I discovered it required premium fuel. Went to test drive 4Runner and was amazed how smooth, comfortable, practical and good looking this SUV was. Plus the fact that the 4Runner holds it resale value better, made this a great buy for me. Holds a lot of cargo with seats down and my three dogs dig the room they have. They also appreciate the automatic rear window feature. Anyone looking for a midsize SUV... dont overlook this one. Only negative is I wish it got better gas mileage, especially in these times!

  Great SUV - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By TN Driver - December 17 - 2:00 am

  I just traded my 2006 4Runner that I bought new so I figured I had plenty of experience to leave a useful review having driven it 85,000 miles during that time. It was a great car. I only had to perform routine maintenance during the 5 years which was great. I just felt like we had outgrown this car with 2 small kids so I traded it in on a Buick Enclave. My husband had a 1997 4Runner prior to this one and we traded it in with 200k miles on it and he had no troubles with that one either. You cant go wrong with the 4Runner.

  Good SUV, Not cheap - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By c2computer - September 28 - 9:46 pm

  Good SUV for, the price can get a bit steep to get some options that others are offering standard (6 disc CD, auto off lights, integrated audio controls, etc.) I tested a lot of vehicles, if it werent for the aggresive money factors on the lease from Toyota, I would have purchased elsewhere. Toyota has great quality but you sure pay for it, although the residuals help out in the end.

  Mileage - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By So/so Mileage - February 13 - 3:50 am

  We were expecting better gas mileage than the Ford Expedition we sold, but its almost the same. Overall the vehicle is very well built and designed. A 6 cylinder should be more fuel savvy than a V-8 though.

  Quaily SUV - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By Sean - February 11 - 9:30 pm

  Solid construction, excellent quality, V8 has good power, very solid vehicle. Seating is terrible. Bad for tall drivers.

  good car overall - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By manny - December 17 - 12:10 pm

  I like this car, noisy brakes, not the first 4runner that I know to have this problem. Im really worried about the srs being to expensive to repair, have to change the whole dash if you have an accident. If I only knew that at the beginning, good mileage

  Logical choice - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By JCM - May 29 - 2:50 am

  My 2005 Limited V8 is the first SUV Ive owned and the X-REAS suspension and V8 have eased the transition. X- REAS (option for Ltd) "flattens" the vehicle on turns with any kind of speed and reduces lean/roll. My 4Runner is more nimble than I imagined it would be and the turning radius is quite manageable. The V8 has a snarl when the gearing allows it to stay above 2,000 RPM... passing is a joy. You will get pushed into the seat if you floor it (after 1,000 mi break-in!). The interior is firm, but not plush and the dash, etc. is top notch. However, be careful cleaning the clear plastic--it will scratch easily. If you leave the gate window open, you will smell exhaust. MPG? Feh.

  Ive had my 4runner for one year today with no problems at all. The V6 is quick, handles great. I love my truck.

  Nice Truck-top quality construction - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By Jay - August 23 - 9:03 pm

  Great Handling, Sporty ride, great value. The money is put into the structure and engine/drivetrain, not features like a lot of others Ive had.
