  My nautical blue T4R - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By niremor - February 16 - 11:06 pm

  This is the best toyota vehicle I have owned! I have had two Celicas and a highlander and this one is the best ever! I feel like I have gotten my dream car. The style is awesome, the drive is great and I get lots of compliments and stares. It has some great features such as the AUX port (for my iPod), lots of storage space, HUGE cup holders and many others besides the overall ride.

  Nice Ride - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By DVP - January 23 - 11:03 am

  Originally looked at the Highlander, but needed more cargo room. The 4Runner joins my wifes Solara in the driveway because of the quality in her car. The quality and attention to detail is second to none with Toyota. Price was slightly up from the Highlander Limited, but the additional room and selectable 4 wheel drive made it an easy choice.

  Rugged good looks inside and out... - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By Alvin - November 22 - 4:26 am

  I researched the 4Runner and found it reliable, also good looking (even the older ones). Went to Roseville to find one with the 3rd row seating and we spotted one, a white SR5 4WD, 3rd row, sideairbags, spoiler, tow package and some 17" wheels. Was going to get a 2005 but Im glad I got a 2006. I love the projector headlights, chrome handles and grill. The inside is rugged and basic, keeping it simple. The cloth seats are supportive; no major blind spots. It looks big on the outside, but once you start driving its like a car. On a few bumps it will remind you that youre in a truck. Smooth, power.

  Just Right! - 2006 Toyota 4Runner

  The V6 has tons of power and runs smoothly. Exterior appearance is similar to the Sequoia, but looks sportier.

  New Impression for an Old Friend - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By pain-doc - October 7 - 1:20 am

  Having a short attention span, I have been through a number of SUVs including a 02 Pathfinder, 03 Sequoia, 02 BMW X5 V8, 02 4Runner, 04 CR-V to name a few. This 06 seems to be the best mix for the price. My primary gripes are headroom on ingress, climate control knobs/buttons, and lack of dark interior option. If I could have had a scaled-down Sequoia, that would have been perfect. The V8 in this intermediate is a true luxury. I love the throttle response. Many complain that it is too responsive, but being primarily a sports car guy, it is a welcome attribute. I wanted a masculine SUV that had a livable nature and that is what I got.

  Love my 4Runner!! - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By granny2 - July 2 - 3:00 pm

  Love everything about this car. I have RA and this car is easy to get in and out of. Plenty of room for electric scooter. Drives and handles exceptionally well. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a new SUV.

  Awesome - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By roscoe - June 10 - 8:23 am

  This truck is absolutely amazing! Ive wanted a 4runner for a while, and I def dont regret this purchase. Ive put about 30,000 miles on it (55k total miles) and zero, zip, no complaints. The x- reas suspension on the sport edition makes it handle and take corners like a dream! Super quiet inside, almost zero road/wind noise. 200% quieter than the competing models. Zero mech problems and the v6 has plenty of power. This is my daily driver and also has been on many camping/fishing/snowboarding trips and has yet to meet an obstacle it cant overcome.

  The Best - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By Elmore - April 18 - 12:33 am

  This is a great SUV. Looks good, drives even better, and has lots of power. I use this car for work and go off road on the weekends- Also drives great in snow (4x4, AWD)

  Best car I ever owned! - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By lczep - April 12 - 4:42 am

  I had gone through 2 Ford Explorers. My last being a 2005 Eddie Bauer. Both never saw 40,000 miles before I began putting large amounts of money into them. In February of 2009, I purchased my 4Runner with 52,000 miles on it. Just opening and closing the doors, you could hear and feel the difference in the quality of this car vs. Ford. The gas mileage is almost double what I got with the Ford. It handles beautifully in the snow. Its a little more work to get it into 4 wheel drive, but worth the effort! It handles beautifully on the highway, and is just a fun car to drive. I will own this car until it falls apart...I have the feeling Ill fall apart before this car does!

  Excellent Truck - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By Robert - March 20 - 12:43 am

  After searching for 4 months, I just bought a very low mileage 4 Runner with every option included. It is seriously amazing. I had a 2000 4Runner and got rid of it and got a 2004 Land Rover Discovery. This was a big mistake and Im glad to be back inside a Toyota 4Runner. The driving performance is incredible as it drives like a sports car and handles like a truck. The reliability of a Toyota is first cast and the maintenance is much cheaper than a Land Rover, BMW, etc.
