  • would definitely buy another one. - 2005 Toyota 4Runner

    I bought this vehicle because of Toyotas legendary reliability. I drive 35,000 miles per year and dont need a vehicle I cant depend on. An added bonus was the vehicles 4 wheel drive capabilities. It will go almost anywhere.

  • Love my 4 Runner - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I have owned many Toyotas and value their reliability, low cost maintenance, and wonderful features. This model has all of those benefits and incredble power of the 8 cyl. engine. Gas milage could be a little better but the power is worth the slight difference in milage.

  • I will always drive a 4Runner! - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    With my third 4Runner I have found that they continue to make it better. I have had a 99, 04 and now an 05 and every year they make the small changes that you dont even notice you would like changed. I will always own a 4Runner as I would never question its reliability or quality.

    If youre thinking of getting one, quit thinking and get it. Its the cream of the class. I cant say enough good things about it.

  • 1ST 4 Runner Ever - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    My SUV had 4 miles when purchased. I really enjoy sitting high and seeing the road. I can feel the solidness in the sterring, the brakes the turns and even on a wet day it feels safe in handling. As a female riding this well put together vechicle, I feel safe and secure and the V6 power is the greatest. Respect is the key word when driving, respect other drivers and respect the road, and this vehicle reputation brings all the respect back at it. I love it. I also have a 1996 camry that I would not trade for anything. Thank you Toyota or making a short size feel super sized.

  • 4 Runner superiority - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    This is my second 4 runner in 2 1/2 years, abefore I had 3 pathfinders and before that Jeeps. None come any where near the performance and integrity of the is vehicle. It ride is as good as a Camry and it is as tough as a Tundra truck. I have over 75K miles between my 2003 and 2005 and not one problem.

  • Great SUV for the money - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I love this suv. It has a smooth ride and looks great. The seats fold down easily and the interior is functional as well as great looking. The MPG is of course what you expect with an SUV about 20 MPG but it makes up for it with the nice features and smooth ride. The interior has numerous well positioned recepticles for all sorts of items ranging from drinks to sunglasses. The rear let down window makes loading smaller items a breeze. I would highly reccommend the vehicle.

  • First 4Runner X Grand Cherokee Owner - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    Just took delivery and I love it. I went and drove the new Grand Cherokee first and this truck blows it away. Quiet ride, plenty of style, and great service at the dealership. This is my first 4Runner and I leased it. The deal on the lease also crushed the Jeep by far. Im looking forward to the next 3 years and if its like the first few days Ill be driving an 08 when this lease is up. Drive this before you buy any other SUV. Great value.

  • 4 Runners are the best - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    This is our second 4 runner. Our first we bought new in 2000 and never had a single problem with. The style compares to no other vehicle in its price range and it is very comfortable to drive. I would recommend this SUV to anyone who is looking for quality in a SUV as well as a smart looking ride.

  • 05 4 Run Limited - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    Guess the main selling point with me was not only Toyota quality but all the safety feature available and the V8 engine. I also have a GX 470 and it just tops off the 4 Runner platform. But the Runner will give you close to bang for the buck. Good size, performance, and amenities
