  Great so far - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By rob_not_bob - May 2 - 10:00 am

  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 etapucu - March 27 - 10:00 am

  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
  By educator - March 27 - 10:00 am

  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
  By Hogan - March 21 - 10:00 am

  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...

  Rattle Rattle Squeak Squeak - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By 2Noisy - March 20 - 9:00 pm

  The sunroof rattles like it has marbles in it. The left front rubber insulator between body and frame squeaks when its cold. The lumbar motor in drivers seat went out and was $750 to replace. There was a support tapping me in the back, so it had to be fixed. It has been to dealer for the noise and is still not fixed. The seat is ok now. I am running H/T tires and handling is great. Radio still sounds great with its 10 speakers. Handles and rides well on trips, but rattles from sunroof will drive you crazy.

  Cherry 03 V8 4Runner LTD - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By Patrick McHugh - January 13 - 12:53 pm

  4Runner well built in Japan, plenty of power with V8 engine, 5,000lbs towing, scrupulously maintained, mobile 1 oil changed every 3,000 miles. Very low mileage as owner working outside of country half time since purchase. Performed very well on cross country trip. A pleasure to drive, interior in perfect condition, has nav system, am/fm. Perfect size to negotiate narrow road and trails. Any bigger vehicle loses utility. Back country vehicle of choice, beats out rangerover, hummer, etc.

  2003 4Runner - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By rstebie - January 11 - 2:00 am

  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 childr - January 11 - 2:00 am

  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 Jason A - January 1 - 10:00 am

  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.

  2003 4Runner after 6 years of ownership - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By Steve - December 30 - 1:56 am

  Overall Ive liked the truck. I have close to 100K miles now and have taken good care of it. It still looks like a new truck when I get it all cleaned up which I think is due to the quality of paint and components used. Ive been disappointed by the reliability. Among those things gone wrong are: AC compressor clutch relay, Heated mirrors dont work, Lights in several areas of the dash dont work, Front brake calipers froze up. Had to be replaced Transmission or rear end has a whine that Im afraid is the beginning of a big bill. Would I buy again? Maybe, but I would want to look at other trucks first. The harsh ride of the vehicle tends to make those sitting in the rear get car sick.
