  • Fun with 4Runner - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I bought this new and now have about 115000 miles. The ride, the comfort and the reliability have been beyond belief. The only problem was the power antenna that failed at 65,000 miles. Power antenna seems to be Toyotas problem even with Camry and Lexus. The radio still works! I changed the original Goodyear tires at 108000 miles, they still had 3/16th left in them. I changed because it was more than 5 years! The brake pads are still the orignal shoes!!. Mine is a standard shift. I am loving it and hope to drive for another 5 years.

  • LOVE IT! - 2000 Toyota 4Runner

    This is my second 4Runner, first one was a SR5 Sport, and now the Limited. In over 20K miles in one year the only things Ive replaced are the tires and the oil and filter. This is a real- deal truck/suv, not based on a car unibody design. Being tall makes the seats feel a bit short to me and with a lot of towing Id like more power, but for daily driving, camping, off-road, this thing is the best in its class! Up to MY2003, this is the last class of 4Runner made in Japan. That says something and the new body style is too "edgy." Love the 4Runner!!

    I have never got stuck off-roading. The high torque is exceptional for the low range 4-wheel drive and for towing, not too quick off the line though. The fuel economy is also a little hard to swallow. For the few who it caters to it is an aftermarket optioners dream S.U.V. All interior panels are easy to remove with common hand tools which makes self instalation of stereos, speakers, lights, etc. a real snap. I have had my 2000 SR5 4WD for almost three years and it still runs like the day I bought it.

  • Awsome SUV - 2000 Toyota 4Runner

  • Love it... - 2000 Toyota 4Runner

    This is the SUV for a person who still likes to drive a SUV with a rugged feel. It drives excellent on and off roads. The 4Runner has a great look.

  • Love my 4 Runner - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    This is a great truck. It has never given me any problems, soild as a rock. It looks great, has more than enough space, drives well on the road, what else can I say? The best vehicle I have ever owned without a doubt. Much more reliable than my parents Dodge or Jimmy SUV/trucks. Very capable off road as well. I have several pictures of my 4 Runner pulling out the very stuck Jeep of my good friend. Even my dog loves to stick his head out of the sunroof while driving through town. The only negative is that it is pretty thirsty when it comes to the pumps but that is the price you pay for the weight and big rubber.

  • Solid, reliable, well built SUV - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    Bought my 00 Limited 4x4 Runner with 111,000 miles. Everyone said "why would you buy a car with that many miles?" blah blah blah, I knew better. Ive had it for 4 years now, has 171,000 miles and runs like new, havent had a single repair. Ive done routine maintenance - oil changes, a tuneup (plugs, wires, fuel filter) and new front brakes. ZERO repairs, it always starts, cold does not bother it. When I need to go off-road or in the snow its an animal, and with the rear locker that Jeep people wish they had, its basically unstoppable.

  • Reliable, just wish it had more hp - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I traded in an older 4Runner for this one back in 2001. If youre looking for a reliable SUV, this is the one. Its well built. The only issue Ive had is the infamous Maine road salt has required a fix of the parking brake. It offers some great features and is a true off-road SUV. It will get you there and back again in style.

  • Best SUV ever! - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I am a petite girl and the 4Runner is the only SUV that I have driven that I can fit comfortably without being on top of the steering wheel. I have owned my truck for 32 months, have 51,000 miles on it and its never been in the shop for anything other then oil changes and scheduled maintenace. I plan on keeping it for a really long time!
