  • not bad at all - 2003 Toyota 4Runner

    I love the economy and versatility of the v-6, only wish it had a little more torqe for better towing. I wasnt thrilled with the plastic panels, but understood the reasoning behind them so didnt really mind them. Thats until I backed into a parked Mustang, barely tapping it with the rear plastic corner bumper. Nothing happened to the Mustang, but the corner bumper had to be replaced. I couldnt believe how cheaply built this important feature was. Only thing worse was the cost to replace it. For example, this little 3"x4" red reflector costs $93. Nevertheless, Id still recommend it.

  • The best suv on the planet - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I have had three 4Runners, 1993, 1995 and 2003. I have the last once since it was new on 2003, and right now I have 6 years with it, with 110,000 miles and still be a perfect SUV. Perfect movements, great acceleration, nice gear, excellent motor, and beautiful body interior and exterior. Few years ago, I bought a used Jaguar Xtype, and my 4Runner has more luxury than it, and the quality and reliability of this vehicle was nasty. But, my V8 4.7L,4WD LIMITED EDITION 4RUNNER is the BEST BUY I made! Perfect combination between a strong and luxurious vehicle!

    What can I say? Toyota really knows how to build one hell of an SUV! Exceptional quality throughout the vehicle. Vehicle rides surprising smooth and quiet, especially for an SUV. NICE! :-)

  • Fantastic 4Runner - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    The 4th generation 2003 4Runner is undeniably the best all around 4x4 SUV on the market. I was absolutely amazed with all of the equipment and features that came with the standard SR5 4X4 V8 package. The 4Runner is hands down, the best value out there and with Toyotas rock solid reliability you cant go wrong.

    love our jet black limited with tan interior. great, red hot v8 but brakes require too much peddle to slow this bulls fury. seats fit style and all those looks from admiring suv drivers seeing it the first time, hilarious. youll love the truck, the admiring eyes and the tiger in its tail. wonderful vehicle with a nasty disposition.

    Used to be a Honday fan. I never liked the looks of the 4Runners in the past, but the way Toyota has redesigned this SUV is top-notch! I was looking for for a quality, yet affordable mid-size SUV and the new 4Runner is it. Suggestion: unless you absolutly have to have a sunroof, heated seats, adjustable suspension, and few more unneeded options, OPT for the SR5 V8 4X2 OR 4X4. Youll get a great SUV and save $8000.

  • My first 4Runner - YUMMY - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I drove a few different SUVs in its class (Chevy, Ford, etd) and there was no comparison. The 4Runner had the best meld of looks, performance, power and comfort. A HUGE step up from my Jeep Cherokee, which I still love, but the 4Runner is an entirely different class of vehicle. The ride is smooth yet tight, the new V6 is powerful and silky, and the interior and exterior are both beautiful. It is without a doubt the nice vehicle Ive ever owned.

  • EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT!!! - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    Bought this new in May 2003 and we absolutely love this vehicle!! We are so glad we decided on the V-8 Sport model. The hood scoop, the suspension, and the towing capacity make this an absolutely excellent, hot looking vehicle that is a dream to drive. Build reliablity is next to none and there is no doubt that this vehicle will keep its resale value. We bought the black with the gray cladding and it really gets the attention when it is on the road. Tough and classy at the same time. WE LOVE OUR 4RUNNER!!!
