Not what they were in 89 - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
By Rob Gregory - November 3 - 9:50 pmWell, though its good, there are some quality issues. First month I had it, it would miss and accelerate on hills in the cold. Toyota fixed that. The rear seats only fold down w/ the headpieces off and front seats forward. New tires at 22K. New rotors and pads at 50K dealer tried to charge over $1,000 for that. Got it done for $550. Dirt piles up inside rear door/wheelwell. The interior fan motor now freezes when the temp is below 25*F. Toyota wont fix that. I need to pay $400 for their mess. My windows cant defrost in the morning now. Tire pressure light is on all the time cause I refuse to pay $190 for a new valve that Toyota needs to program to your truck.

What a Great SUV - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
By Faramarz - November 3 - 10:00 amI live my 2004 4-Runner. I specially love the V8 Engine with smooth ride. For a V8 SUV, the Gas Milage is great and I think for the price this is the best SUV you can by today. When you by the 4-Runner, in reality, you just purchased a Lexus and 50% discount

Great Vehicle - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
By dben - October 13 - 10:00 amI put alot of miles on my vehicles & the 4Runner is the best value for the money and for reliability, creature comforts & resale value. It may cost more up front but resale value & low repair / maintenance expenses more than make up for it. (I got a better deal on it than I thought possible (under invoice)).

My first SUV - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
By Shinzon - October 13 - 10:00 amI just today purchased my new Toyota 4 Runner SR5. This is the first SUV I have acquired. So far, it is awesome. It is fun to drive, very quiet on the road and it handles excellent!! I also like the fact that the SR5 comes pretty well equipped.

Great SUV - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
By lhenson - October 7 - 2:00 amThis SUV is the best buy for the money. The V8 is supurb. I avg. about 20 mpg. It handles great on the road and its quiet. Fit and finish on the vehicle is top notch. I was considering a Nissan Murano before I took a look at the 4Runner. Im glad I did!. I was also looking at the Honda Pilot, but the dealers werent budging from MSRP, plus the lack of styles and colors at the lots. The 4Runner is a great SUV, I recommend it!

Strong 4000cc V6 engine 245 hp - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
By ToyotaMichellin - October 7 - 2:00 amI bought 2004 4Runner SR5 V6. Power is enough, space is enough, basic 6 speakers are good enough in bass to treble, noise level is quiet enough (67dB@70mph), the rear door closes electrically. Only thing I dislike is my (drivers) seat back, that does not fit to my back completely. And like many Japanese cars, it locks doors when you shift gear P to D and does not release automatically when you arrive and park.(you should manually open locks for rear passengers to get out) However, its safety rating at NHTSA and IIHS outperforms "ALL" other SUVs, and overall, I am 99% satisfied with my new 2004 4Runner SR5 V6.

The best 4Runner Ever - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
By Louis Lerebours - October 6 - 8:20 amI have had my 4Runner for 4 years now. I live in Long Island and my wife used to live in Utica. I was thus driving about 1000 miles a week. Ride is outstanding for a 4x4. On the wet highways or in the snow, the traction control is unsurpassed. I invested in synthetic oil and change my filters regularly. The 3rd row seat is mostly used by my 2 toddlers. This is the BEST 4Runner Toyota has built so far. I am just waiting for an excuse to buy the upcoming redesigned 4Runner.

Pretty Good SUV - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
By bud - September 14 - 11:06 amThe 2004 4runner was our first Toyota. Almost 5 years now and it has about 55K on it with no major breakdowns. In extremely low temps the heater motor will not work, which seems to be a common failure I have read in other reviews. Also, the AC has a relay that seems to be a weak part that they have upgraded on the newer models. When the relay pukes out, the AC light blinks and will not get cold. Cost about $75 for the part, but I have read some horror stories with getting it repaired or diagnosed properly. Overall, this SUV has been superior to the US made SUVs I have had in prior years. Like all used vehicles, Toyota trade-in value is disappointing. Makes me keep what I have longer.

This is only my view - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
By krissy - September 12 - 1:43 amPerformance and Reliability are perfect and it looks great, but I have found the Interior Design to be poor, the color is very light, the seating is not at all comfortable, the sound system vibrates in the seats when turned up. If youre packing to go away and you fill up the back, it blocks the radio reception because the antenna is on the back side window, so bring some CDs. Some more of the things I have found not to like is on the stick shift, 3rd is next to drive (same link) so you have to always remember to push it into drive or youll always drive in third. Finally the third row of seating has no floor space for your feet, it is flat. Other then that its Fun to Drive.
