  I like the 4Runner - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By New VDP - September 7 - 4:10 am

  My 4Runner has been a great and reliable car. The RWD has been sufficient to navigate construction sites and occasional soft dirt without a problem. The ride is more comfortable than 90% of the cars that I have ridden in lately. The visibility of the displays and access to switches and buttons is superior. The V-6 is a strong and nimble performer, the car is fast for its segment. I have had only two problems: 1) electrical problems with locks wouldnt allow driver to unlock or lock the rear right door. 2) A/C switch burned out for some reason.

  Confirming what everyone is saying! - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By brian - September 4 - 12:26 pm

  Well, Ive waited about 5,000 miles to write this. I love the truck! The looks of the Sport Ed. is awesome. Love the 6-spoke rims! Smooth, solid, quiet ride. This thing handles excellent for an SUV and the steering feel is so tight! Brakes are good, V6 is pretty quick. Gas mileage has been about 19-20 MPG, but my last trip with 4 snowboards on the rack got me ~16 mpg. Only driven in a few inches of snow, but it handled good. Cant wait to get rid of the Dunlops tho. Best vehicle buying decision EVER!

  I love what you do for me! Moving forward - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By 4Runner G-Black - September 4 - 8:43 am

  I have just had my 4Runner for under a week. I already love it. When I drive it I already feel the quality behind it. Maybe it has something to do with my current studies behind the legendary Toyota manufacturing process. I also like the fact that the cars parts are 95% Japanese. I feel like Im driving a luxury SUV, but then again I havent test driven the Lexus GX which costs almost twice as much! (Pretty much the same car). At any rate, I couldnt be more happy with my purchase. Too bad it seems like everyone else is buying a new 4Runner as well.

  Bought the 5 yr 100 mile warranty - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By val - August 30 - 5:03 pm

  I like to keep my cars the life of the warranty or the years I buy whichever comes first. This car is a jewel and I love driving it. Compares well with my sisters Lexus SUV for performance. Wasnt cheap, I bought everything I could to enhance my enjoyment but Im using the frills and loving my ride and the perks. This is a car that will way outlast my warranty and the years ...

  4Runner after 9000 miles - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By L.R.Burfield - July 28 - 8:53 pm

  Excellent in snow and ice, better fuel economy than I expected (17-18 mpg) Solid feel on highway at speed, very quiet inside cabin. Good layout for driver. Rear seats fold very nicely for added cargo room. Tire pressure warning light needs temperature compensation, as it glows when outside temp drops into the teens. Love the heated seats. Quality inside and out. Sound system is tops.Tach dial view is partly blocked on right side

  I was bugging my husband for a new TRUCK. We went to the dealership - looked at what they had in stock and was told that there was a shipment coming in the following day. He returned to the dealership and brought home my new toy - I LOVE IT!

  Simply The Best - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By The Family Guy - July 6 - 8:40 am

  This is my 3rd 4-Runner and the best so far. Smooth ride, power to tow my boat, very roomy and comfortable ( I am 65" tall). I would not drive anything else!!

  4Runner - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By chad - July 5 - 1:30 am

  Toyota really put the things in this vehicle that customers want from cupholders to performance. Comfort and convenience is a main concern for me and Toyota aced the test. 4Runners also have good gas mileage which for the vehicle I dont think anything compares plus their reputation for quality durability and reliability is awesome so pay more for the peace of mind which is what I will always do.
