  another winner... - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By JEMN - October 7 - 2:00 am

  Toyota got me back into their drivers seat with this vehicle. A former Honda, Nissan and Toyota owner (if only the Big 3 had their quality/reliability act together I would buy from them), this 4 Runner is just what this mid- life crisis ordered. On the outside, strong, sexy, classy. I love the front grill, the squared off wheel wells, its overall butch bull dog like appearance. Snowstorm here 3 weeks ago - it purred with pleasure in 4WD.

  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!

  Not bad for a Japanese car - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By ToyotaGuy - August 26 - 11:16 pm

  I bought one of the first 2003 4Runners, SR5 with V8, before the V6 became available. Main reason for the purchase was the great powerful V8 and silky smooth ride. I still like it, but wished I had waited a couple of years and bought a used one, since the value dropped so quickly. The car is so reliable and well built, even after almost 7 years it seems like new, so I think that picking up a decent pre-owned one seems a pretty safe bet. Anyway, the 4Runner is not for tall people and it is not the most spacious SUV out there. If you have a big family, I would go for its big brother, the Sequioa, or the Honda Pilot, if you dont need the V8 power.

  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.

  First test drive - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By Planedave - August 12 - 10:00 am

  I was very impressed with the ride and interior design. The v8 didnt seem all that quick, I wonder if the v6 will be enough for this heavy a truck. The plasic lower body panels of the SR5 and sport are ugly like and Avalanche. at $40k + for a Limited (the only model without the ugly plastic) it is overpriced.

  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.

  fourteen years and counting - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By Tom Ferguson - August 5 - 5:11 pm

  This 4runner must be one of the lowest cost to own vehicles of all time. Purchased new 14 years ago and love it even more today. Own a 2017 4wd pickup and a 2014 sedan but cant force myself to part with this 4runner.
