  • 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.

  • Get the feeling - true SUV - 2003 Toyota 4Runner

    I have driven everything from the BMW X5 to the Honda Pilot and VW Toreag. The 4Runner was the best of the bunch for the $$$. Great ride, handeling and excellent build quality. A true SUV not like these car based suvs built for soccer moms. Got mine as a 2003 leftover for 12K less than sticker.

  • First Toyota - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    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!!!

  • Great SUV choice - 2003 Toyota 4Runner

    Nothing to tell go test drive one for your own opinion. You will find it is much improved inside and out.. and with the V8 Ohh yeah!

  • The best SUV EVER! - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    This is the best SUV made today. I am so impressed with the new styling and features of the 4Runner.

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

    Ive only had it for a week and all I can say is its AWESOME. With out a doubt the best melding of luxury and toughness out there! Love the ride, comfort, handling and power this beauty has, the new V6 engine is just stellar. The ride is much more comfy than my previous vehicle (Jeep Cherokee) but it still feels tight and responsive.

  • Would buy another one today - 2003 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    Having driven us built autos with the exception of a 1993 Mitsubishi, I would buy another 4Runner today. This is the best built, easiest to drive and park SUV I could find in the market after researching ALL mid-sized SUVs available. I paid a little more than I would have had to pay for a U.S. built SUV, but figure I will save the difference in maintance expenses.
