  • No Complaints - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I purchased my 2003 4Runner SR5 V8 with 16,000 miles. It now has 105,000 miles and every mile has been a pleasure. This vehicle has only required normal maintenance. I have had no major problems or expenses. I will probably keep it until it turns 200,000 miles and still enjoy it. The V8 is silky smooth, the transmission is solid and trustworthy and this model still looks good.

    A month an a half into ownership and I love this truck. A great redesign. It has it all for 4 x 4, highway, and around town driving. Put in traditional Toyota quality and reliability and you have a winner. Ill own this for a long time!

  • Great Peformance SUV Buy - 2003 Toyota 4Runner

    Value / Quality / Peformance / Function ENOUGH SAID ! Our 2nd Runner.

  • Great so far - 2003 Toyota 4Runner

    This thing is great. Fun to drive with plenty of room and weve been getting about 18mpg on average, 21mpg on the highway per the trip computer. The ride is smooth and very surefooted but has a little body motion to remind you it is a serious SUV. Plenty of power and the steering is light and precise.

  • I Love my 4Runner! Good Buy! - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    My wife and I were looking a several SUVs from many different manufactures. The 4Runner really caught our eye and hearts. We now have 6000mi and we are completely happy with our choice. The V6 packs quite a punch, the roominess is spectacular, and the 4x4 is awesome. By far the feature, that most impressed us is the GAS milage, we easily get 17- 18MPG in the CITY and about 22-23MPG on the highway. This SUV is definitely a good buy, with no regrets what so ever.

  • One great SUV - 2003 Toyota 4Runner

    I recently bought my 4Runner and its one of the best purchases Ive ever made. I recently owned a Range Rover and this 4Runner beats the ride in more ways than one. If you considering buying a 2003 4Runner, stop your search here and go test drive one. Youll be driving it home before you leave the dealership.

  • DISAPPOINTED - 2003 Toyota 4Runner

    Attention 4-Runner owners with the cloth interior. 2 days after taking delivery of my SUV, I noticed 3 problems. First, all four tires were inflated to 57 psi!! Yes 57.Second, my steering wheel shakes between 60-65 like the tires were out of balance. Third, driver seat failure. Had seat replaced and its still loose. So I went to several new Runners on the lot to check and theyre all loose (check your thigh support and grab the whole seat with both hands and move it back and forth and youll see what im talking about.) Service guy said must be a bad design on the new model. Hmmmm...

    Great improvement over the 97 I traded in. Love the V8. Wonderful features inside. This car is loaded with goodies I didnt know it had until I had it a few days. The price was about the same as the 97 and it is three times the truck. I hate to call it a truck it has such a great ride. Cant beat the Toyota, Ive had 8 Toyotas sence 1989 and the trade in value cant be beat

  • Best Buy By Far - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I drove every mid-size SUV on the market and none could really compete up to the level of the 4 Runner. Great looks and the muscle of a full-size SUV. Im not real fond of the dash, the Highlander and Montero have a much nicer look, but it stops right there. The ride and handling cannot be beat. Very comfortable around the city or on a long drive. Power that WILL put you back in your seat. If your looking for a mid-size SUV this one cant be beat!

  • Great ride, but missing a few features - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    Ive had my 03 Grey Mica 4runner now for about 3 months and I have really enjoyed it. I have always been a car person but the new 4runner caught my eye so I decided to take the plunge. I dont have any regrets. The truck is remarkably smooth and quiet and the gas mileage is good for an SUV with a V-8. The Navigation is a nice feature and great to have on road trips.
