  #1 - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By Cinda Greene - July 7 - 3:20 pm

  We brought the 4runner because of its looks, reliablity, and value after used, we are pleased. Its performance in passing slow cars on two lane roads is great. Its good to know you can get through any kind of snow or slippery condition if you need too also. It has a comfortable ride.

  How much better can it get? - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By greg - June 28 - 5:06 am

  This is mine and my wifes fourth 4- runner. We just traded our 01 in on a 05. Wow! We loved our 01, but this vehicle is a work of art. The fit and finish is next to none. The styling is outstanding and form and fuction is fantastic! How much better can it get? Scary thought.

  It doesnt get any better... - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By Bob Kim - June 22 - 5:23 pm

  The car has gotten me through the one of the worst winters Ive ever experienced. With over a foot of snow on the roads, I just throw my car into 4x4 and I can get anywhere without worrying about spinouts.

  I use an SUV for commuting, utility trailers and boat trailers. I also expect to help the local crew coach tow a 7000lb GVW shell trailer that can carry 6-8 boats at once. I had a 2000 Nissan Pathfinder that was underpowered for the job. It had a stiff ride that I liked but my family would not ride with me. This car rides great and has many standard features that you need but that you dont think to look for.

  Best Mid-Size SUV - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By New Owner - June 6 - 9:50 pm

  I researched all the SUVs in this class and the 4Runner is the BEST. The 4 Runner has around for 20+ years and people are still driving their old ones. A good thing is that most are repeat owners. The quality, price, and amenities are awesome. I love it.

  4Runner - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By Yota - May 19 - 12:00 pm

  this vehicle is awesome, it is the best SUV on the market. For those people who have never tried a 4Runner you better hurry up and go try one. It may be more expensive than other auto maker, but it is definitely worth the money you spend.

  Great SUV Gets Even better - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By Tom - May 6 - 1:00 am

  We had a 2000 4Runner and loved it. We lost it in an accident and went shopping again. Looked at Explorers, Trailblazers and Jeeps and Envoys. Although due to dealer incentives could have purchased all but the Envoy for less, the fit and finish, towing capacity on the base models, and overall quality in the 4Runner is tops. The interior is larger than the 2000 model and the ride is smoother without being soft and driver visability is improved. Our experience with the reliability from Toyota was the final selling point. This is our 5th and all we have ever had to replace other than standard maintenance items was a starter. We usually keep them for over 100,000 miles. Very Satisfied

  Love my Toyota! - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By Pappas - May 1 - 7:30 pm

  We leased this Toyota without doing much research and we are glad we went with a Toyota! Its an impressive vehicle on the outside and decent on the inside. We love the temp. controls and rear air. The ride is amazing!!!! It doesnt feel like we are driving a truck by any means. I have driven many different cars and SUVs and this one drives the best by far! My husband and I argue over who will take the 4 runner. The air is freezing and it has auto temp. control which we love. The seats are comfortable and the interior is roomy for an SUV in its class.

  Trucky But Family - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By BMJ - April 6 - 10:43 pm

  My wife wanted a truck but not a practical purchase for a family vehicle. She liked her van so we needed something in the middle but not too big. This SUV is it, it is truck like, rides as such but that makes it fun to drive. Durable and sporty. Toyota really fine tunes this offering. If you like something with a truck feeel (and truck insurance rates!) this is a great vehicle so far.

  Excellent - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By Scott - March 31 - 7:10 pm

  If you think you want a 4Runner - You will not be disappointed. For a truck based SUV the 4Runner is EXCELLENT. I could not be happier with its over all quality, look and capabilities. Compared to the domestics, there is no choice, the resale and reliability more than offset those extra rebates and discounts.
