  • Getting the feel of 4Runner SR5 V8 4WR - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    Riding 4Runner SR5 V8 4WR 2004, it is quiet and smooth ride. A lot of horse power. With the V8 and 57400 lb weight is far better then Lexus 470 and Landcuriser which they are the same horse power engine but 6700 lb heavier in term of weight. The design of V8 4WR full time and 57400 lb is never afraid of behind anybody else and in any weather condition.

    I Looked at other SUVs (Explorer,Pilot,Durango,Exterra,etc.) and found this to truck to be the best over all. I love the rugged,stylish looks. I live in Queens New York, handles the pot holes great and our snow storms. Parking is no problem even with the front & rear bumper guards. This is my first 4Runner and certainly not my last.

    I have owned many cars, this being my seventh new car. This has to be the best vehicle ive owned. It is smooth, quiet, and very powerful. Best car out there.

  • Ltd. V8 4Runner - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    Been very happy with the 4Runner. Bought it due to the V8 for towing our travel trailer. The motor is excellent in general, temp. gauge doesnt even move going up steep, long passes in 100+ (40+Celsius) pulling our 4500# travel trailer. The only complaint I have is that it is slightly lacking in power to pull our trailer in windy, open environments. Seems like I need to keep the tranny in 3rd to go up any slight incline or against strong winds. Otherwise its been an excellent truck. Wish it came with 4.10 gears rather than 3.73; would most likely solve the underpowered issue but unfortunately decrease fuel economy. Generally excellent truck that I would recommend to anyone.

  • Impressed with quality and amenities - 2004 Toyota 4Runner

    I love my new 4Runner! I compared all mid-sized SUVs out there and the only one I liked better was the Lexus RX 400, which was hard to find used and too expensive brand new. I bought one with a V8 and still am not sure if that was a wise decision or not. Handles on the paved road awesome and even better off the road. I havent really tested it in serious offroad conditions yet but definitely plan to. I love the little extra amenities like the 115V plug-in, digital readouts for MPG and fuel distance calculations, and the rear audio remote and readout. I debated between the Limited and the Sport and then realized the only diff was leather seats and some options.

  • The best investment in my life! - 2004 Toyota 4Runner

    With the 2004 Toyota 4Runner, I have been remarked into a new world, it discarded me from my everyday worries during my drive, yet I feel noticed, and believe me, that feels great. I like how I really enjoy my 4Runner. I call it my best friend, I even talk to my 4Runner! I think that is you were ever to purchase this car, you would feel the same too, or even better. I really like the spacious, and size of my truck. I think that Toyota did well on the 4Runner, and I also have an older model, a 1993 Toyota 4Runner SR% V6 3.0litre, and even that was a great design! I really like my Toyotas, theve really tooken me places in such a way that I couldnt even explain it in words. Its the greatest!!!!

  • Best Vehicle Ive Ever Owned - 2004 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    Ive owned 3 Toyota trucks and two american 3/4 ton trucks in the past that I greatly enjoyed, but this new 4Runner takes things to a whole new level of pleasure. Vehicles just dont get much better than this! The V8 and 5 speed auto are silky smooth with plenty of power. For a V8 it gets decent milage 15-16 city and 19-22 highway, the best being 24mpg. The JBL sound system is the best factory system Ive heard, although it could still use more bass. I do wish there was an aux input for an mp3 player though. The ride is pure pleasure. I could go on and on about how much I love this truck, but Im limited to 700char.

    The experience has been better than expected. The smooth responsivness is incredible. It is fun to drive and will be a while before the excitement wears off. I dont have many cons on this vehicle. The one thing that could have been done better is the climate contrals. I cant seem to get used to the multiple steps to get what I want in climate comfort. Overall, this vehicle has been mt best SUV I have ever owned.
