4RUNNER - Hands Down Best Vehicle We've Ever Had

My favorite car

My 2005 Toyota 4Runner is my all time favorite car. It drives amazing, very good gas mileage for the size of the vehicle. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Reliable, capable off-roader, and highly fuctional

I have owned my 4.7l v8 4runner for three years now and couldn?t be happier. I bought the truck at 120,000 miles, currently have 192,XXX, and haven?t ran into any problems (only regular maintenance). Although the gas mileage is poor with the v8, it more than makes up for it?s performance such as the added tow rating and slightly more power than its v6 counterpart. I have traveled long distances countless times and have had to sleep in the trunk of my car, however, I was always comortable because I could essentially lie flat and fully extended (I?m 6ft tall). Additionally, my favorite part of the truck is that the back window can roll down, not only allowing for great airflow and easy unloading, but also allows for longer cargo to be easily carried and secured.

Very practial SUV, yet attractive.

I really enjoy this SUV. It's got some age on it, but it's also one of those vehicles that ages gracefully. It seems extremely solid, yet the ride is comfortable.
