  I look at it out the window all day.... - 2003 Toyota 4Runner

  The looks of this vehicle first attracted me, but the test drive SOLD me! Warning - do not test drive this vehicle unless you have the money to purchase...! (Hint - if you are planning to purchase a Yukon - do NOT test drive the 4Runner....you will be disappointed!!!

  First "foreign car" in 25 years. One month of ownership, 1100 miles: Overall an excellent design. Powerful, nimble and fun to drive. Ample cargo capacity contrary to what you may have heard or read. Behaves predictably and sure-footed off-road. Surprisingly quiet and smooth ride.

  V8 SR5 4Runner - 2003 Toyota 4Runner

  V8 has excellent acceleration for both city and highway driving but have experienced less than 13 mpg in normal city driving. Automatic transmission is so smooth you never notice it. Good handling and traction when in 4x4H in steep, deep muddy mountain roads and deep snow. Quick,smooth stopping brakes. Handling/cornering in city and highway driving has been suprisingly good for a true offroad capable vehicle. Basic stereo and CD system sounds great and you get to keep the handy cargo area back-up mirrors. Rear cargo space, while not generous, has proved to be adequate. Quality, fit & finish has lived up to its reputation - exceptional!

  Very Good... but some problems. - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By ballin4runna - October 25 - 10:00 am

  just got my 03 4runner.It is extremely quiet inside, very powerful V6,good ride quality.But I had a squeaking noise coming from the engine. It started at about 1100 miles. The noise got louder when i accelerate and goes away as i decelerate. I spent 6 hours at the dealership trying to fix. And now the noise is back. Its like driving a huge freight train.Im having mixed feelings about toyota now. Its ridiculous for 1200 miles to have such a problem. Ive heard that it was a problem on all 03 V6s. And there isnt a solution yet.If anyone has this problem please respond!

  Awesome in deep snow - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By BF - September 12 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle is an absolute blast to drive. I recently took it up to Trinity with another friend of mine who just purchsed a new Explorer. It snowed about 16-18 inches when we got there to we both decided to do a little snow 4-wheeling. The 4runner handled deep snow with little or no problems. During the few times that I did lose traction, the automatic skid control feature kicked in and controlled the skid before it actually became one. It also had plenty of torque to pull out my friends Explorer from getting stuck. Everyone needs to purchase one and experience this. An absolute blast!

  BEST OF THE BEST - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By techman8 - August 19 - 4:22 pm

  Ive been a mechanic for almost a decade and my opinion of the 4th Generation 4runner is ..IF YOU HAVE ONE, KEEP IT. These things are incredibly well built. Toyota is know as the all-around most reliable brand amongst cars worldwide but little did I know that buying a used 4runner with 230,000 miles would of taught me a lesson in how a true SUV should be. Its rock solid body-on-frame design is top notch. I also average an awesome 19 mpg/city which is really good for a heavy SUV. Its got all the power you want and delivers a great package of both handling, style, and comfort. Im currently at 367,000 miles worry-free.

  WOW! It could not be better... - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By Docyit - August 12 - 10:00 am

  I got the first in the state. My LTD 03 is fully loaded minus the GPS. I had a 98 Sr5 Loaded and this is a vast improvement especially in comfort and handling. It rides like a luxury vehicle and yet is strong like the SUV it is. Only thing I miss is memory seating. So many nice features. I also have a 2001 Corvette and although they are in different classes I will have a though time deciding which to drive on sunny days. Toyota got it perfect and the 4Runner is back on top.
