  4runner over ml320 - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By rogerw6 - September 20 - 2:00 am

  So far this is the finest vehicle I have owned. My ML320 was very troublesome and I expect Toyota to be reliable. The 4runner is fun to drive and handles more like a car than a truck. The interior design is useful and attractive. The Nav system is the best of the three I have tried.

  My 6th Toyota. Just traded in a Tundra. Larry, you must have gotten yours from a chop shop. Theres no way you had that many problems. This vehicle is rock solid, though power seats and a 6 disc in-dash changer should be standard at this trim level. Smoothest V8 on the market, better than any luxury car. If you want the best 4W drivetrain on the market, this is your truck...not for the shopping mall like the rest.

  Wow! - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By Sac State - September 9 - 10:00 am

  Had a 02 4x4 Sport. The 03 4x4 Sport is a totally different animal, for the better! Build quality would lead you to believe you are in a Benz or BMW. V8 power is awesome and the ride is top notch.

  Sweet SUV - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By MarkinCT - September 4 - 10:00 am

  I have been loving my new 4Runner for 1200 miles so far. Averaging 17.4 mpg, but mostly stop and go. Hey, its a V8 so thats not bad. This truck looks hot, gets noticed. Build and materials appear premium to other makes. In terms of quality, I think this is like a slightly smaller version of the Land Cruiser at half the price. Interior is more refined that the Sequoia (which I strongly considered, but 4Runner was more bang for the buck). With the V8, it can out-perform most sedans when in a pinch. Comfortable passenger room. Nissan Pathfinder cannot match the 4Runner in any contest.

  Drivers Seat Needs Work! - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By lenripley - August 29 - 2:00 am

  The Drivers seat makes a clunking noise anytime you enter vehicle, hit a bump, or turn sharply. Dealer says this is the way it is. I dont believe it. If it is, there is a design flaw which needs to be resolved.

  First SUV - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By toolmanjohn - August 22 - 2:00 am

  This being my first SUV, I was looking for a 4wd vehicle that would drive nicely on road. The 4runner exceeds my expectations. I will have this vehicle for MANY years to come. My Limited has all the power stuff, and the V6 is very powerful. Its just as quick as my sedan was. The 4wd system is primo! Excellent traction in snowy conditions. No stopping it on uphills. Worst thing about buying a Toyota was BUYING a Toyota!! Typical of dealerships they played every game.

  This is my fifth new Toyota and it is the best of the bunch. That is saying a lot when you are talking about Toyota vehicles! Everytime I climb in it I get excited! It is that fun to drive!

  Performance - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By Joetrack - July 29 - 10:00 am

  I had a 2001 Tundra before the 4Runner the ride on the Tundra was better than the 4Runner smooth. The Runner, rides like a truck. The seats squeak driver and passagers, The sunroof when open rattles. Rear end rattles on rough roads.

  Stepped Up to a 4 Runner - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By blm012 - July 29 - 10:00 am

  With the X-REAS suspension, there is virtually no bounce or roll and although the handling is solid, bumps do not jar the passengers. The 10 speaker JBL system provides crisp notes and deep base tones from our 6 disk CD changer. The glove box door sustained a couple a shallow scratches and they were easily repaired when the dealers trim shop applied heat and lightly buffed with a silicone coated cloth. The dual climate control, handling, and seating comfort make this a road trip vehicle.
