  Everything I Ever Wanted - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
  By Desert Dog - March 1 - 10:00 am

  I traded in my SR5 Tundra for the 04 4Runner. As much as I loved the Tundra, I love this vehicle more. It has the same smooth V8, and the transmission is equally smooth. I love the way it handles, and the full- time 4WD means never losing traction on wet pavement (which my Tundra always did). I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a quality ride. Mine hasnt seen much off-road yet, but soon. The ride on the street is excellent.

  Love the Quality and Performance - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
  By F. Yaghoobian - February 15 - 4:23 am

  I am 52 years old and I purchased the 2004, 4-Runner, V8 Sport Edition in Dec 2003. So far, I have over 80K miles on this car, with absolutely no issue. The only issue I had, was related to the driver seat, in which the seat would drop gradually and you had to pump the seat up every once in a while (design issue). I must say that this car is extremely reliable. I have never had any issue with this car and after 80K mile the car is running just like the day I purchased it. All parts including the battery are still original parts. I must say that I have done oil and filter change every 3000 miles, but none of the major scheduled services yet. Great car with great quality.

  Comfortable cruiser - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
  By shermjet - February 11 - 8:06 pm

  After some haggling at the dealership over this car being a CPO we came to terms. The dealer would replace the two missing key FOBs, fix the significant scratch on the right side and make this look like it should for a CPO. The third row seat is missing on this, but thats ok with me. Now the vehicle. This is as smooth as many cars as I have driven. Not sure where the editors came up with the harsh ride, but I have driven this so far from Madison, WI to Toledo 3 times in the 60 days, and twice from Madison to Hayward, WI. I am averaging 21.8 MPG over all with my best being 23.7 MPG Hwy at 75mph. The cabin is quiet and comfortable and well laid out for long trips. I have the v-6.

  hot rod performance in an SUV? - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
  By J.Weaver - February 4 - 10:00 am

  I test drove a ton of other suvs in this class,(durango, explorer, cherokee, range rover, tahoe, etc...) none came even close to the performance, reliability, qaulity, handling or overall satisfaction level for me. Same goes for the Dealership that helped me find the perfect car and get a fair price! (Hanover Toyota)

  get the SR5 04 No more cladding - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
  By levinoh - January 22 - 2:00 am

  I had the 03 SR5 V8 4-Runner with Cladding for 6 months. A great handling SUV for a truck based SUV. The V8 engine with the 5 speed auto- transmission is the model to buy. However, after a few months, I took notice of the 04 SR5 models and they no longer had cladding. I found that the cladding was getting old fast. So on my 15K service I checked with the deal about the 04 SR5 V8 model, and for the package I got the same options, the spoiler-10 speaker system and 17" wheels with fog lights (now standard on the SR5). The sticker was only $800 dollars more. Now have the 04 with no cladding.

  4-RUNNER FOR LIFE - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
  By 4-RUNNER FOR LIFE - January 17 - 4:16 pm

  Bought our 04 4-runner and absolutely will never buy any other vehicle as long as they make it as good as this one. The reliability is awesome. I drive cross-country 2-3 times a year and I am very confident in this vehicle getting me where Im going. I am 49 yr. old female and have it serviced regularly every 3000 miles. Same tires as the day we bought it with 20,000 more left. Done nothing to it but oil changes and check-ups at the Toyota dealerships. Still drives like the day we bought it and now has 74,000 miles. Will keep it til it falls apart, but plan on buying me a new one with the newer body style around 2012 or 2013. Way to go Toyota. You have a very satisfied customer here.

  Silky smooth V8 and 5spd auto - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
  By longhair - January 17 - 10:00 am

  Wanted a BMW X5 4.4 but also wanted proven reliability and piece of mind. The 4runner with XREAS, v8 and mated to the silky smoothe 5spd were good enough. Also do not have to worry about an extened warrenty given Toyota reliability. Getting 18mpg with suburban and 20+ highway driving. Very happy with purchase.

  A good buy! Get the 4x4 Sport or Limited - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
  By Fast Ed - January 12 - 10:00 am

  I bought this vehicle after researching many in its class (Trlblzr,Explorer,Cherokee,Endvor,Pilot, Durango,etc). I settled on the 4X4 SR5 edition only because I couldnt find a 4x4 sport edition mica Gray 6 cyl with a sunroof in a 100 mile radius (Crap). I got the spoiler added to the rear and the 17 in rims. My biggest grief with this vehicle is that the front end tends to wonder about when driving at highway speeds in the whimpest of wind speeds. The footing becomes more sure foot when I select the 4x4 full time mode. I recommed the sport or limited editions to get the heated mirrors, telescopic steering wheels-which should be standard on ALL 4runners.
