  • Best vehicle Ive ever had - 2003 Toyota 4Runner

    Ive had many vehicles and the 4 runner surpasses them all. Toyota has totally out done themselves this time!!!

  • Great 8 - 2003 Toyota 4Runner

    Had this vehicle for a month now. Great engine; it really gets up and goes. Im a little disappointed in the tires, stereo, lack of vanity mirrors, and headroom. Other than those items, standard features were great. Coming from a luxury sedan, I expected a little more.

    I got my 1st 4 runner in 1995, my 2nd in 2000. This year I decided to upgrade into something more luxurious. I still wanted the room so a crossover was out of the question.I tried the MDX and the RX 330 and was left feeling dissapointed. They were nice enough inside but did not feel right. When I test drove a limited 4 runner, I got the best of both worlds. A great , reliable SUV in the mountains and pretty sweet ride when we head downtown.

  • Great decision! - 2003 Toyota 4Runner

    I traded my 97 Tahoe for the Runner 3 weeks ago and never looked back. Other than missing the seemingly 1 million cubic feet of cargo space, the Tahoe is but a memory. The i-force V8 and 5- speed auto in the Toyota are easily the best motor/trans combo in any truck I have ever driven. I find that even with my heaviest lead foot, I am still getting 15/19 mpg. Solid build with only one minor interior issue. X-reas suspension removes all body roll.

  • Awesome SUV - Best value around - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    Just purchased a new SR5 V8! This SUV is awesome, the engine is super smooth and quiet! The interior is made of high quality materials, my only complaint is the placement of the fuel door latch being next to the hood release; The climate controls are unique but easily manageable; the double decker rear cargo shelf and storage galore round out a beautiful interior. The ride is excellent and very comfortable. Build quality is very very impressive. Test drive one 2day!

    Ive been a Toyota fan for years. Owned a 1990 Camry for 12 yrs. before I sold it to a friend and its still running great. Needless to say it wasnt hard to sell me on another Toyota. My husband is 65" so it was difficult finding a SUV that he was comfortable in. The 4 Runner fit the bill in every way. It rides like a car based SUV (even better)

    If you want a great car to drive this is it. I have had many cars over the years, but the 4Runner (new style) is GREAT! The only draw back is the gas mileage, but its not bad for a V8. I have averaged between 13-23MPG. Thanks Toyota!

    The 2003 4runner is a great suv inside and out. Great V8 along with an inspiring interior. Its a true SUV with extreme comfort. Towing is adequate along with cargo space. Along with Toyotas reliabity record, it is a great invesment.

  • Toyota 4runner - Best SUV for 2003 - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    Great SUV...Toyota does it again! Improved power, ride, handling, comfort and styling. Smooth, pwerful and resposive V-8 with silky smooth 5spd automatic transmission. Controls are great. Picked the Limited for full time 4wd, power and smoothness (alos didnt like SR5 or Sport gray platic body cladding).
