  Not Worthy - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By Dadeo7432 - November 26 - 9:23 am

  Our 4Runner had transmission and catalytic converter problems. When we got to the third catalytic converter and the second transmission we decided to trade it in. Only 46,000 miles in just over three years. No we did not have to pay for this work, but the trips to the dealer were getting old, and no I did not feel like towing on a long trip to have the transmission die while towing the boat. The car stank the first year until they finally replaced the catalytic converter. The transmisson vibrated under light acceleration before and after it was replaced. Then the dashboard lighted up like a Christmas tree only a day after the transmission was replaced. We traded ours, hope you dont buy it.

  Great Investment - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By case2003 - November 7 - 10:00 am

  My AWD V8 Limited 4Runner is very stylish, powerful, and comfortable. It gets great mileage for an SUV at 19.2 mpg even with the all-wheel drive. Its my first Toyota after owning 3 Pontiacs, 1 Chevy truck, and a Dodge Ram. It is superior in quality and I feel it will be a great long term investment.

  my first 4runner - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By victor tsung - November 5 - 2:00 am

  the 03 4runner is a perfect car for me. the car had never been in my shopping lists before untill the v8 showed up. for suv i came from toyota 94 LC, 97LC,98LC,01ML55(the worst suv i experinced),& the currently i drive the 01MDX 02RV4. i got all the things i want for a car and the things i dont need such as 3rd seat big cargo room. in fact i wish the double deck shouldnt be there. it serves me no purpose. did i drive the luxrious cars? a few of them for years. with 4runner i dont miss them.

  I look at it out the window all day.... - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By 4Runner - October 30 - 2:00 am

  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!!!

  2003 4Runner SR5 V8 - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By Pocketcam - October 30 - 2:00 am

  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.

  My 03 4runner - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By Corey - October 27 - 11:40 am

  I bought my 2003 4runner in 2005, its one of the best cars Ive every bought. The ride is very comfortable and smooth theirs a lot of room in the front seat same with the back seat, its very roomy. I bought the car with about 50,000 miles on it and now theirs 130,000 miles on it. Im very happy with the gas millage, I get about 18.6 mpg. The only problems Ive had was with the back window, it went down very slowly but has started working fine now, and the driver window makes a cracking noise when i put it down, also the left and right headlights have gone out three times on me since Ive had it, but other then that the car runs perfectly! I hope to have this car another 130,000 miles!

  V8 SR5 4Runner - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By Mountain Man - October 25 - 10:00 am

  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!
