  2008 Urban Runner - 2008 Toyota 4Runner
  By dcrogers11 - June 22 - 1:36 am

  Purchased Urban Runner Sport edition because of the overall appearance and option package. After 1000 miles, I have enjoyed the driving experience. The Blizzard Pearl color really stands out. The xreas stability control is not just a gimmick, but gives a safer feel to handling. MPG has been running from 20.5 to 22.7. I drive 65-70 mph with 80% hwy driving. Bluetooth function paired nicely with my iPhone and works well. Tomtom was a big letdown. Dont buy the UR package for the Tomtom. Instead opt for the nav option in a Sport or Limited. It cost more, but if GPS guidance is what youre looking for spend more for the nav/backup option. V6 engine has good acceleration for a 4.0.

  2008 Urban Runner 4WD V6 - 2008 Toyota 4Runner
  By topneuro - May 3 - 3:03 pm

  Navigation big disappointment, Eclipse AVN 2210p with lousy radio, CD and nav. The iPod connector is behind the unit, special cable and rip apart the dash to set it up. The iPod connector should be readily accessible in front of the unit like the USB port for other media storage devices. The interior should be leather, either gray or black but not with with suede. For trouble shooting neither Toyota, Eclipse, nor TomTom are of help as they will blame each other or refer you to the other for help. The rest of the vehicle I have no complains, have a 2008 Urban Runner V6 4WD blizzard white pearl that borders on spectacular. Have noted the drive shaft "clunk" also a problem in Lexus GX47.

  Perfect Truck/Car - SUV - 2008 Toyota 4Runner
  By Dpere - November 5 - 9:26 am

  Searched and searched for a replacement for my wifes Toyota Tundra. Wanted something smaller - but still had some capacity to haul stuff. Looked at Mercedes ML350, VW Tourag, Chevy Tahoe. We kept trying to convince ourselves not to buy another Toyota, now we have 3 in the drive way. This SUV rocks! Solid build, great ride and all the comfort you can ask for. Like the Limited look, lighted running boards, nav system and heated seats. Dont know about gas mileage yet as we have yet to fill the tank.

  Best SUV - 2008 Toyota 4Runner
  By James - August 18 - 12:50 am

  I recently bought my 3rd 4Runner. I absolutely love this vehicle. It handles nicely and has plenty of room inside. I have never had mechanical issues with any of my 4Runners. The reliability is unbeatable. If taken care of property, this vehicle could last for an easy 10 years or more. I cant imagine driving any else!

  Yea, I loved my 2008 Urban Runner - 2008 Toyota 4Runner
  By snowchasr - May 6 - 8:11 pm

  This was my dream vehicle. It handled well on the highway, was great in winter conditions, and is one of very few SUVs that have any strong styling anymore. Furthermore, with the truck frame, I believe it is one of the safest. I too was involved in a head on accident at 65 Mph and survived well in this truck! When I originally purchased this vehicle in Spring of 2009, I was glad to have the confidence of all the safety features, but never thought I would have to use them in such a severe accident. Glad to have survived, wish my 4Runner did too.

  Loved...Loved...Loved my 2008 4Runner! - 2008 Toyota 4Runner
  By horseluver5 - May 4 - 3:18 pm

  I had a 2008 4Runner that I bought in December of 09. I loved that car from the first time I drove it. It was great in the snow, rain or mountains. The 6 cylinder had enough power to get me where ever I wanted to go. Unfortunately on August 3rd I was in an accident where we were basically hit head on, but to the amazement of everyone we "walked" away with minor injuries! It was me, my daughter and my 3 year old granddaughter in her car seat in the back. Us two up front have injury from the seatbelts/whiplash but my granddaughter is completely fine. I cant say the same for my car, she didnt make it through the accident but she did save our lives! Best Car Ever!

  This is it... best true SUV - 2008 Toyota 4Runner
  By Brent - April 10 - 4:10 am

  I have had my 08 SR5 2WD 4Runner now for over a month and have put a couple of thousand miles on it. Wow, this is it, the best true SUV. When I was ready to replace my 97 LT 2WD Chevy Tahoe I looked and test drove a bunch of vehicles. After driving the 4Runner for an extended tested drive I knew it was the truck for me. The V6 performs so well in so many areas, the truck is laid out perfectly and thoughtfully, and at 6-5" and 280 Im very comfortable. It is awesome on the highway, very quiet, very solid and plenty of power. Lots of compartments to stowaway stuff. I am set for canoing, fly fishing, biking and camping.

  Another Solid Toyota - 2008 Toyota 4Runner
  By Quietrover - January 26 - 1:06 am

  This is our third Toyota (Tundra and Matrix) and have been just as impressed with the performance and quality save for a couple of small annoyances like the TPMS and the temp controls with a mind of their own. Very well behaved and comfy on and off road, tried to spin the tires on the dirt but couldnt due to traction control, just launched (scary). Head room is limited but will learn to live with it (Im only 510"). We will keep this rig for a very long time.
