  • Hello 4Runner - Good Bye GM - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    This is my first non-GM SUV, and I am loving it! The 2004 Toyota 4Runner V8 Sport Edition 4WD is a great vehicle for looks, comfort, quietness, value, performance, build, and reliability. Most of my driving tends to be city, on-road, with some highway, variable weather, with a little off-road, but my overall mileage is at 19.2 mpg which is great for a V8 4WD. I am also glad I have a 4Runner model that has all the improvements made since 2003. I have previously owned full-size K-Blazers, S-Blazers, and full-size Tahoes from Chevy, but now I cant ever imagine getting anything else to drive other than another 4Runner. This seems to be the overall best vehicle that I have ever owned. Period.

    This is a GREAT TRUCK! I have 180, 000 miles on mine and it still does everything it was suppose to do. I bought it at 159K with no hesitation since its a Toyota, have not been dissappointed yet. It starts and runs GREAT everyday and I drive 40 miles round trip to my job everyday. Cant say enough good things about this truck.

    This truck is a great buy. We bought this car for my wife and she absolutely loves it. This car is also well built because she was rear ended last week and the 4Runner had minimal damage while the other truck was not so lucky. This car also gets some serous complemets.

    I have driven from New York to California during the summer of 2003, New York to Utah the summer of 2004 and New York to Arizona with a detour to Texas during the summer of 2005. The three trips were approximately 23,000 miles. The 4 Runner met every challenge through snow in the Rockies and 100 degree heat in Texas with power and class. The V8 had no peers! A beautiful truck inside and out!

  • Wish I had bought one sooner - 2004 Toyota 4Runner

    As a former chevy driver I can say that I am sorry I did not buy my 4runner sooner! The V6 is more than adequate if you are driving in town. It is surprisingly powerful! The exterior is more stylish than the older models and the interior is roomy. Although I do not have a third row seat I think it would be a tight fit for anyone other than kids.

  • First SUV, Love It and Having Fun!!!! - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I love my SUV. At first it kept jumping 4 a lack of a better word. Whenever I pressed the gas, especially going around corners, my SUV jumped into gear late. Make sure B 4 buying, U R sure U want 2 spend money 4 gas, maintenance and insurance. Short/Petite ladies U will get a workout from the trunk door. It is very heavy. However, on the positive side, my husband said that was good because I wont have 2 worry about it falling down on me. The driver window/door controls are a little award 2 get 2, but will get use 2 the location. If U have long arms, it may not bother U. Overall a wonderful choice.

    I chose the 4Runner over the Explorer and the Pilot. The 4Runner had a smoother ride and felt to me that I was sitting higher and had more of a command of the road. The leather seats are much softer and more comfortable than the ones in the Pilot and Explorer. The 4Runner has lots of power, great options and is fun to drive. I wish it were American made- this is my first non-American made vehicle and that fact still bothers me a bit. But hands down, it was the best of everything I looked at and I looked and researched for months before making my decision.

  • Why would you ever buy a domestic SUV? - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    This vehicle is great! Japanese engineering with American wants and needs built into it. Large enough to handle the average American family, yet it has the quality and reliability of an import. My 4Runner looks great and runs even better.

    Just recently purchased a SR5 V8 4Runner. You get a lot of features for the money with this truck. Ride and handling are excellent, acceleration and braking are very good. Transmission is silky smooth. The sound level in the cabin is very quiet, with virtually no road noise.
