  From NEW to Totaled in 1 month - 2008 Toyota 4Runner
  By MY RUNNER - August 3 - 9:10 am

  I purchased my 4runner in February and finally thought I had the car of my dreams... and I did! Until just last week I was hit broadside by a woman who fell asleep behind the wheel driving @ 60+ miles/hour. My 4runner took the hit like a champ. Every safety feature worked flawlessy, saving my life. I feel there would have been a much more tragic result if I had been driving any other vehicle. The other driver survived as well, but then again she was driving a tank. I plan on buying a brand new 4Runner this weekend and will be a loyal 4Runner owner for life! This is a great buy for many, many reasons. I highly recommend this SUV to anyone with style and safety in mind.

  Bought it with 180k miles, and it rides like new! - 2008 Toyota 4Runner
  By Indiana Bruce - May 20 - 12:10 am

  I saw this on a dealers lot with over 180,000 miles on it, and it looked like new. Knowing it was a Toyota, I bought it. Am SOOOO glad I did. I have the 6 cylinder and often pull a 7x14 lightweight cargo trailer with it. It does great. I love so many things about Toyotas. A headlight went out, and it was about $12 and took less than 5 minutes to replace. I just changed the oil tonight, and its so easy. The filter is easy to get to, and even has a shroud around it to catch any oil that runs off so it doesnt mess up the engine area. Oh, and its now about 210,000 and doesnt use a DROP of oil and runs like new. The body and paint are still perfect with no signs of rust or corrosion. I expect to easily get 300k or maybe more. Love, love, love it.

  Best Car I have ever owned - 2008 Toyota 4Runner
  By Eric - May 11 - 2:53 pm

  I have driven this salsa red 4Runner for nearly two years and am delighted with it. I bought it mainly to take down rough forest roads to go camping in Arizona. My circumstances changed when I ended up making a fast trip to Alaska in late winter for a new job, and while the mileage took a dive operating at high speeds, windy conditions, and heavily loaded, it performed flawlessly en route north. It is a striking looking vehicle.

  2008 4Runner V8 4X4 - 2008 Toyota 4Runner
  By kalicat - April 21 - 8:15 pm

  I bought it brand new and in a couple of months it will be 4 years old. 57K miles on it. I have never had a single mechanical issue with it. I put the front end leveling kit on it, and larger tires w/after market rims - but the engine is stock. My only complaint is the gas mileage! Even driving like an old lady, 95% highway mileage (its my commuter car now) I only get 17 mpg. Friends that have the v6 said they get the same. Dealer says they will give me 22,500 if I trade it in (decided not to anyway) Great resale! Overall, am very happy with it!

  4wd v6 Sport 2008 - 2008 Toyota 4Runner
  By breakfree40 - April 8 - 6:10 am

  Excellent vehicle. Low routine maintenance costs. Will drive anywhere you point the wheels. 4WD system is very advanced, v6 engine is adequate for all but the heavy towing.

  TBA - 2008 Toyota 4Runner
  By 4RunnerCanuck - November 3 - 2:26 am

  At a mere 2200km, 4Runner had to be boosted three mornings in a row. After my first visit to the dealership, this brand new 4Runner had a defective battery replaced! Well see... The driver seat is quite uncomfortable. Hurts my back. Im six feet tall. The seat part is way too short, angles are all wrong. If there are any other defects, Im dumping this truck.

  My Runner - 2008 Toyota 4Runner
  By Luke82 - May 8 - 9:50 pm

  Well got my 4Runner back in April 2008 and already have 12,000 miles, this cars runs great so far. Its a V6 Sport Package and it looks mean with that hood scoop! The car does its work how SUV should. The power is great the comfort is great just took it hunting and off road so its a good piece of machine. I would recommend this SUV over any American made SUV!

  Its is the Best on the Road! Bar None! - 2008 Toyota 4Runner
  By Rick - May 7 - 7:06 am

  Wow I cant believe Im doing this! I will explain! I was a line tech and did hold a ASE Master Cert. in auto repair. I not real fond of any GM product, Ford is pretty good but always had the best service from Mopars.Owned more of them than anything. Never gave Toyota much thought. Always eyed the 4Runner looked like a nice SUV. We did the Durango (Nice truck), then an 2002 Accord V-6 top line Coupe. Well lease was up and my wife wanted back in a 4x4 because of snow. Well Dodge decided to make the Durango larger and about as ugly as you could. Wife didnt like the Jeep much and they discontinued use of the straight 6 engine and reduced the tow rating to 3500 lbs. GM out of the question.
