  Very Solid - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By ColoradoKid - December 21 - 9:43 am

  I couldnt be happier! I have researched SUVs for some time; the 06 4 Runner is a great vehicle. Quiet, smooth, and fun to drive.... Kudos to Toyota.

  Our new 4Runner - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By matt barron - December 3 - 10:26 am

  This vehicle looks awesome from every angle. We got the color we wanted and the 2006 SR5 looks like a limited did in previous years. The standard HAC (hill assist start) has come in handy a handful of times on my in-laws monster driveway. Our 4-liter V6 gets 23.0 mpg on the interstate, thats strong. It stands head and shoulders above its competitors.

  My 2nd Toyota! - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By MzJeepDevil - November 29 - 10:50 am

  I traded in a 2003 Nissa Xterra Super Charge for a couple reasons: a. I wanted something with better gas mileage. b. I wanted a sunroof, with the same power as my super charge, plus I like the rear window being able to go down. c. The 06 4runners car insurance is cheaper. d. A full tank in the Xterra lasted me 4-5 days, a full tank in the 4runner last 14 days. wow eh?

  1st 4 Runner - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By Wayne Scardino - September 18 - 1:36 am

  After owning another brand of SUV and not being satified I checked out the 4 Runner and was suprised at what I founed. I test drove and found the preformance and handling of the 4 Runner to be sound and well made from an engineering stand point. I now have the Sport Edition. Being a sportsman and going off road I found it preformed very well. I have more then enought room for all of my equipment. I have been asked by my friends how I feel about the Toyota compared to my other SUVs. My answer is Im very well pleased with its preformance.

  Nice ride! - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By dedhed - August 30 - 8:40 pm

  I traded in my 93 4-runner with 180k miles on a new 06. The 06 is averaging 19.6 mpg which is better than my old 93. The V8 has plenty of power to merge into traffic and pass when needed. The adjustable seat is very comfortable. The styling both in and out is eye-catching. I have had the truck for about a month now and honestly cant think of a negative thing to say about it. Toyota builds a quality product, and I will continue to drive them.

  Cant Get Any Better! - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By cbchapman88 - August 26 - 8:23 pm

  I bought my 2006 4-Runner new in 2006, it is 2013 now and it has 121,000 miles. I could not bare to trade in my 4-Runner before it hit the 100,000 mile mark. It has been a spectacular vehicle in every way! 121K miles and not a single mechanical issue. I have done regular maintenance and used premium gasoline the entire 7 years that I have had it, and not a SINGLE mechanical issue. I have made several trips half-way across the country, including two moves, and it never let me down. Seven years later, and it still cleans up like a brand new car and still drives like one too. I am planning on keeping this vehicle for another 100K miles, then I will surely buy another 4-Runner.

  Happy - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By Kevin - July 7 - 4:40 pm

  The vehicle was well thought-out and smartly designed. The rear window that slides up and down is great for alittle ventilation when desired. The lift gate closes automatically when shut slightly. The vehicle is smooth riding and very quiet. Gas milage is good, but oddly decreases with lower outside temperature and ran best when 70 degrees-F or more. The location of the drivers window/lock controls could be mounted alittle better. Cruise, tilt, and mileage center are nice.

  Great Vehicle - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By Ken - July 5 - 10:43 pm

  Majority of driving is highway travel to second home. Always loaded with tools and gear, ride is great and V8 is really responsive. We havent experienced an interior/exterior defect or even a squeak. It is a limited with navigation/backup camera, etc. Navigation was perfect in NYC travel. Since I am really a clean freak with a black vehicle, the fit and finish had to be perfect. It was. The AWD is secure, especially during heavy rain and New England snow. I do not like cross over and car based SUVs when you really need a truck. When needed, this vehicle can easily pull a 22 foot boat. Buy one.

  Good car - 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  By Ali - June 22 - 12:20 am

  I bought 4Runner as an interim vehicle because I could not decide and I will keep this car. It is well made, drives like a dream and has room for everything. Toyota considered every detail.
