  • Finally ! - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I finally found a dealership that would deal on it! Ordered the V-6 Sport and was very happy with the stability, power handling and creature comforts. Very impressed with the ruggedness and the engine design allows VERY EASY ROUTINE MAINTENANCE! I am still racking up the miles on my 86 4x4 (211,800) and goin strong! If it is half the vehicle my 86 is (in quality) then it will be well worth the money!

  • 33,000 Miles and no problems - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    Purchased vehicle used with 22,000 miles, now has 33,000. So far we havent had to make a single trip to a dealer. For its size, it drives great and has fairly quick acceleration. The ride quality is quite good, although not "car-like" as in the Highlander. Although we dont have the X-REAS suspension, body roll is minimal under moderate cornering. Gas mileage has been surprisingly good at about 19-20 mpg for mixed driving. Interior quality is excellent, and the Granite trim on the Limited is a nice departure from the fake wood trim that is in so many vehicles these days. The climate contols seem foreign at first, but become intuitive after a brief amout of time with the vehicle.

It handles Great in the snow, It averages about 22 miles per gallon. I always have power to pull the hills in Lake Tahoe.

  • What a great vehicle! - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    My wife and I bought the v-8 primarily as her vehicle. Wow What a great car! Great in the snow, great all- wheel drive, great tow vehicle, and great kid hauler. My son finally talked my wife into selling it to him, so weve now bought a 2011 version. I hope it is as reliable, because we loved the 2003 model!

  • 2nd 4-Runner - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    This vehicle handles great, has great comfort and the design is neat. It is very roomy and the interior is laid out comfortably. Great acceleration and handling for a SUV. Drives and rides like a luxury car. V-6 is plenty powerful and has reasonable gas mileage for a SUV.

  • My 1st 4 Runner - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I spent 6 months researching and looking for a new SUV and could not be happier with the purchase I made. I spent less money then I thought I would and received a fully loaded SUV with great styling and unmatched reliability. I looked at the Explorer, Yukon, Land Rover Discovery, and Ford Expedition. If you do not need a third row seat this SUV is an excellent choice.

  • Lexus Specs at a Toyota Price - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    This SUV is very impressive. I looked at all competitors. I liked Lexus GX 470 (I have an LS400), but a loaded 4Runner with similar features was $12,000 less out the door. Most specs are the same except for headroom, wood int trim, third row seat and DVD entertainment system which I didnt want. Offers plenty of power, great ride, handling & off-road capability. Great machine and fun to drive!

  • Fun! - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    The is by far the best car or truck that I have ever owned. Just driving down the street makes you feel proud to be a 4Runner owner. So smooth and fun to drive. I cant wait for the snow!

    We drove the Trail Blazer, Envoy, Durango, Pilot, and Explorer. The 4- Runner blew them away. We couldnt believe it was in the same price range.We have 12,000 miles and love the truck.
