Overview & Reviews

The 4Runner receives a number of upgrades this year, starting with a new and improved four-wheel-drive system equipped with a center differential and featuring a full-time 4WD mode in addition to the current two-high, four-high and four-low modes. New exterior features include a front bumper redesign, multireflector headlamps and an enhanced sport package with fender flares and a hood scoop on the SR5 model. Inside, a new center console/cupholder design will improve beverage-carrying capacity of the 4Runner and an automatic climate control system will be featured on the Limited models.

• Powerful and reliable with more luxury options than ever before.

• These things cost bucks! The new Grand Cherokee is even more rugged and still offers plenty of luxury for less money.

  I love my 4runner. Its fun to drive, is very reliable, has had minimal problems and overall has been the best car purchase Ive ever made. Mine has almost 165K miles and still runs wonderfully. A great buy, Id reccomend a 4runner to anyone!

  Great Truck - 1999 Toyota 4Runner
  By msi - November 25 - 9:23 pm

  I have driven this truck on and off road and have never had a problem. I love the body design and the fact that it is truly made to be on and off road unlike most other SUVs that are built only for road use. I couldnt be happier with this vehicle and plan on keeping it a very long time which says all there is to say about its reliability.

  Still a great vehicle - 1999 Toyota 4Runner
  By DougT - November 16 - 5:56 am

  I posted a review back in November of last year after owning my 4Runner for six months. Its been four months since and I have nothing new to say other than this is by far the best vehicle Ive ever owned. Ive owned it for ten months now and it still blows my mind at how well this thing was made. Its now seven years old with over 110k miles on it and everything is functioning fine. I love the 4Runner more and more each day. I got it for a really good price when I bought it and worry that Ill never find another deal like it on my next Toyota (which is what Im sticking with). Those Japanese designers have their stuff together thats for sure.

  1999 4 runner saved from clueless owner - 1999 Toyota 4Runner
  By john - October 8 - 5:30 pm

  Bought off ebay 7/2007 with 100k, did all of the deferred issues,+ new springs, shocks, 1 " lift, changed all fluids, cold air intake. Great quality (mini Land Cruiser) same looks, better mileage. Better 4 wh drive system. Power is a little weak, gas gauge reads empty with 5 gal. in tank (common) this is a true 300K truck with the right mechanic working on it, 1999s are the year to buy, they sit an in. higher than all the other years. Had a 1993 land cruiser for 14 years, great but sucked gas. This 4run get 17 21 town/highway. Will cruise 90 mph all day long. No oil usage or leaks 285.75 /16 tires & spring spacers & it looks ready for anything, great for anywhere.

  My 4x4 SR5 4Runner is great! - 1999 Toyota 4Runner
  By pius222 - September 30 - 6:40 pm

  Bought it used in 2007 with 130000 miles at a used car lot. Now has 18xxxx miles. Still runs strong. As long as you do the regular maintenance. This 4runner will run forever. The cloth interior is still great as I put a cushion on driver seat, a dash cover keeps the dash from cracking. The blue paint still shines as it is always garaged. Only used 4WD once in a muddy situation. The only drawback is the engine is kind of weak in this day and age IMO.

  Great over all vehicle to drive - 1999 Toyota 4Runner
  By Lindsey Pickman - August 13 - 8:36 am

  The toyota 4Runner 4dr 4wd limited is a dependable vehicle that I have owned and does very well in the winter snow. The leather seats are very comfortable. The amount of space is great for all kinds of storage from front to back, better than the new 4Runners.

  a 9 year love affair - 1999 Toyota 4Runner
  By Susan - July 9 - 7:16 pm

  I have dealer-maintained this vehicle for 9 years and have never had to fix anything outside of the regular maintance every 3000 miles. I have bought tires twice since purchasing the vehicle but other than that it runs like a charm. I love the inside of the 4Runner. The leather is soft & comfortable and cleans well. The sunroof is huge and slides back inside the roof. The back window rolling down is a feature Ive not found in any other vehicle. Thanks to Toyota not changing the body style very often my 9 year old truck still looks like a newer vehicle. I have never owned a car for 9 years before but Ive found no reason to give it up other than wanting another one.

  4Runners Are Worth Every Penny - 1999 Toyota 4Runner
  By Muss287 - March 28 - 2:00 am

  No problems whatsoever; this is my 2nd 4Runner (1st was a 95); I chose this one based on it reliability (of course), increased interior & engine sizes & increased safety rating. After comparing all other SUVs in this class, the 4Runner exceeded the rest. While the HP is less than American models, the 4Runner more than makes up for it with its reliability, comfort & safety ratings. The highest HP wasnt a priority for me.

  My 99 4Runner LTD - 1999 Toyota 4Runner
  By Stanley Runner - March 15 - 3:30 am

  Ive had such good luck with my Runner that my friends are looking into the Toyota line. It runs tough and handles the roads in Charlotte like a champ. My fuel economy is average (17 mpg). My overall experience is excellent and I recommend this SUV to any one looking for a tough, reliable vehicle. Good luck shopping because they cost but well worth the money.
