  Very comfortable SUV - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By vladimir - November 29 - 10:00 am

  I checked a few SUVs and ended up buying a 4 Runner. It is very comfortable and pleasant to drive. My only concern is about reliability on a long run. I hope that my Toyota will hold up to the Toyota name. There is plenty of room to store my tools, dog or any stuff I need to move. Also Edmunds reviews helped me in shaping my choice but the test drives of different SUVs finalized it. Mileage p.gallon city/highway combination 18.2 - 18.9.

  LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!!!! - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By Lanette - November 29 - 10:00 am

  I have drooled over the 4Runner for years, but I thought it was just out of reach. My husband bought this truck for me after my sweet little 2002 Jetta went ka-put. The new stying is great. It handles like a dream, power is awsome, and interior is luxurious- mmmm. I am the envy of all at work...my baby loves me! He bought me the most awsome ride around!!

  4Runner owner review - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By Art Hyde Jr - November 28 - 1:03 am

  Highway mileage varies from 28 w/ 4 studded snows to 32 with 4 summer tires. Corrugated shifter makes vehicle feel like a sports car on mountain pass roads. High ride height allows one to be on eye level of other SUVs. Stability Conttrol w/ ABS prevented me from hitting elk that jumped out on icy road in front of me: vehicle did not flip. Bought optional XM radio which souds great w/ factory sound system. Not spongy off-road: enough ground clearance. No repairs if one follows factory mtce. Have owned a 4Runner (4 cyl & V6) every 3 years since 1990 & love the electric rear window.

  Sleek Mountain Goat - 2003 Toyota 4Runner

  Not only does this vehicle pass all others, going up hill at 10,000 feet, but does so at the speed limit and then some. Then you can go off road and make all the big bumps on the 4wd roads seem smooth. no problem.! Downhill assist comes in handy for sustained downhill slow speed. Transmission very smooth and torque is strong. Brakes are even and have good feel.

  Very Happy with my 4Runner - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By Karl_27376 - November 24 - 10:00 am

  I have had my 4Runner for 600 miles, and I couldnt be happier. I test drove a 2002 model last year, and what an improvement - in all areas. I stepped up from a 94 Toyota pickup, and even though it is not a "fair" to compare the two, I feel like I got a luxury car. Im happy with most everything, but especially the gas mileage, the comfort and ride. One other reviewer mentioned a clicking sound - Ive heard it too - and Im waiting for a fix from Toyota.

  2003 Toyota 4runner Limited V8 4wd - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By MTS - November 1 - 6:10 pm

  Great vehicle. I bought it as a dealer demo with 7500 miles on it for about $6k off sticker ($36k). Only a few minor probs, the side mirrors had a weird glare and those were replaced (free warranty), few probs with actuators (free under ext warranty - doors wouldnt lock), a/c clutch relay switch replaced (125 P&L). Blower motor may need to be replaced any day (used heavily/daily). At 105k miles had water pump and timing belt replaced -preventative maintenance only. I put about 22k miles annually on this vehicle and love it. It always starts and goes. Have taken few trips to places from Bay Area to Canada (BC), San Diego, Yosemite, Vegas, Bakersfield, Arizona. Has hauled many things. Good vehicle. 17.4 avg mpg

  2003 4runner is one comfortable truck! - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By ASK - October 17 - 2:00 am

  1 month anniversary of our 2003 4 Runner Ltd. No new car bugs. After owning Ford Explorer & Chevy Suburban - If you can get by with less cargo space, everything else about this vehicle feels like an upgrade. This is one nice comfortable truck!

  Now i know why i always wanted one - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
  By eeephi110 - October 12 - 10:00 am

  have had my 4runner for a week and have loved every minute of it. i look for excuses to drive it. the only thing i worry about is someone denting it or hitting me, however i did get rear ended the second day. that high ground clearance protected my baby though. no damage to me, but a trailer hitch through the hood of the creep who wasnt paying attention. drives like a sports car. the V8 is incredible and i have still gotten 19-20 mpg city and highway. sound system rocks. my dog loves to surf the breeze when the sun roof is open and the rear window is down. i plan on keeping my 4runner for years.
