  Super Buy - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By HappyAgain - October 31 - 8:40 pm

  I bought this after owning a Highlander 4 cyl. for 18 months. Wish I had bought the 4Runner 1st. This is a super buy. I am a toyota believer now. This is so much more vehicle for the money than the highlander was. I am really pleased.

  LTD 4WD 4RUNNER - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By Mike Kanzer - October 29 - 6:43 pm

  I traded in a Lexus ES 300 for my new 4Runner and I get almost as good gas mileage with the SUV (16-16.5 city) as I did with the lexus (17). The 4 runner drives beautifully and is well made.

  Love it! - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By Grizman - September 24 - 6:20 am

  We needed to replace our Xterra as we were concerned about overall safety and stability. After reading on Edmunds how the 4Runner was redesigned in 2003 to widen the stance and improve handling, stability, safety, performance and fuel economy. We had to try it. We drove it and instantly knew that this vehicle would serve multiple purposes--it was safe enough to cart the toddlers around and rugged enough to take anywhere. We love all of the standard features, but most of all we love how solid this vehicle feels and how well it drives.

  Great Vehicle - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By Dan - August 22 - 10:26 am

  This is my second 4Runner and the first Sport Edition that I have purchased. Thus far I have been very impressed with the vehicle. I am getting between highway and city 21.6 mpg so fuel economy is slightly better than advertised. The ride is smooth and the room (I am 62") is more than sufficient. The SUV handles snow very well as I live outside of Boston and handled two 10" storms very smoothly. Visibility in the car is great as well. Satisfied buyer.

  By MICHAEL - July 15 - 1:30 pm

  The quality of this SUV is amazing. Doors that shut right, fit and finish that is unmistakably Toyota. For a solid rear axle this thing rides great. It is quiet and comfortable. The features are great. Not one single problem. No regrets buying this vehicle.

  The best SUV - 2005 Toyota 4Runner
  By CEL - May 13 - 2:10 pm

  You can spend more but you wont get more than this SUV. Its top shelf from stem to stern. The 270 hp V8 is silky smooth with power to spare. Mileage has averaged 18.2 for the past several months. You will never know youre driving a 4300 lb vehicle if you get the optional suspension. I compared every SUV in the 40 to 55 k range and IMHO this was best. Its equal to Lexus but is 10 grand cheaper. The updated features are endless including a factory 110 v inverter to run your lap top on the road. Before you buy anything else test drive this SUV... you wont be disappointed. Its Toyotas best SUV ever............
