  230 thousand strong - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By viper driver - September 12 - 10:52 am

  Great vehicle, the best Ive owned in the past 32 years. I have the limited version. The all time 4WD (4 hi) is fantastic. Handles like a dream, have not been able to get it stuck yet (live in CA with frequent drives into OR and NV; avid skier in the Sierra Nevadas). Only issues are cosmetic; some of the backlighting behind the temperature controls has burned out, and theres a CD stuck in the CD player (with no way to get it out). Leather seats have held up well; but Ill need to have some stitching repaired on the drivers seat soon.

  Best all-around SUV - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By coloradorunner - September 7 - 2:00 am

  This is my first 4Runner...I owned a Ford Explorer prior to this and it doesnt even compare. The handling on this truck is amazing (w/ X-REAS). I opted for the V6 due to a little better gas mileage. Go for the V8 if you plan to tow anything very large. This is the best all-around SUV in this segment and is not a glorified minivan (unlike the Honda Pilot).

  Sporty, Rugged and Fun !! - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By Timbo627 - September 7 - 2:00 am

  I really enjoy my 03 4Runner Ltd. After researching all other midsize SUVs, I selected the 4Runner (after waiting for its release), and after 5,600 miles, Im convinced I made a great choice. The 4Runner is a quality- built vehicle inside and out, and its very fun to drive. The engine is smooth, quiet and has very quick acceleration. In addition, the JBL stereo with the 10 speakers and 6-disc CD changer is absolutely awesome. In summary, Id recommend the 4Runner to anyone looking for a quality midsize SUV. Most (if not all) others are substandard choices!

  Toyota does it again! - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By jaesun in FL - August 28 - 10:00 am

  What can I say, this SUV is great! Very comfortable ride and excellent handling. The V6 has plenty of get up and go...and great gas mileage! (for an SUV) A smooth shifting automatic transmission. Excellent breaking. Quiet and well appointed interior. Test drive one, youll be happy you did!

  Best SUV out there - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By 4Jogger125 - July 21 - 10:10 am

  Ive had my 4Runner for exactly 3 years and have done nothing to it minus your oil changes, etc. I have never had a bobble out of my Toyota. I actually do not have a 4WD, and it is top notch in the snow, so I could only imagine how great a 4WD would be. Im 20 years old and I drive hard, but my 4Runner can most certainly keep up. From my short experience as a driver, I am almost certain I will buy nothing but Toyotas from now on.

  4RUNNER SPORT BEATS THE rest - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By northpolermike - June 14 - 2:00 am

  I extensively drove the competition over 2 months, yet none could hold a candle to the 4Runner. The new V6 and 4 speed transmission outperformed the Explorer & Mountaineer V8s, and felt better than the Envoy. The new XREAS suspension performs extremely well, and the VSC and MultiMode shift on the fly is great for my driving conditions. The build quality, quietness, tightness are just superb. The vehicle can meet and exceed the demands of our harsh Arctic winters and road conditions here in North Pole. I cant wait for summer to go off roading.

  I have driven many vehicles in my day ~ & this one most certainly takes the cake! I think my cheeks are still blushed from all the compliments I have received in the first month of ownership!

  I wish I had It Back - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By happywiththetoy - May 2 - 2:10 am

  My Toyota was one of the safest on the highway. Involved in a major accident on 1/23/09. If I had been driving many other vehicles I would not be alive to write this review! Unfortunately, my Toyota was totaled, but I was not. I enjoyed just about everything about my 4Runner. I just wish I had it back. Dont know that Ill ever be able to replace it.
