2011 Toyota 4Runner consumer reviews

Steve from AZ with 2022 review...dude, you must have gotten one made on Monday or Friday as the saying goes. I'm on my 3rd 4Runner since 1995, and I am looking for another one now. Our oldest son totaled the 95 in 2003 in his senior year of high school, head on collision, and walked away without a scratch. We replaced it with a 2001. I rolled that one 2x in my 1st accident in Oct 2011. I got hit by wildlife and knocked off the other side of the road. I was doing good keeping it steady, but it wasn't slowing down, and I knew not to hit the brakes on the wet grass--I forgot my cruise control was on. So I rolled it 2x and hung upside down in the middle of a swamp until the police found me, but not a scratch on me. We replaced that one with a 1999, and I'm still driving it. It looks like xxxx cosmetically and the leather seats have been destroyed by the 7 rescue dogs that have been part of our family since 2012, but it has only stopped running once. I've had what I would call 2 major repairs on 3 4Runners. The brake booster and master cylinder last year on this 99, and some type of sensor down below the belt that caused a major oil leak and then it wouldn't start this past spring. The part was only $25, but I paid my mechanic neighbor $200 to do the repair instead of $800 for labor elsewhere. And it was already 23 years old and had 225,000 & 230,000 miles on it before those 2 things happened. And just FYI from an old lady, NEVER take a vehicle to a dealership to be repaired! I'm probably a bit older than you so I learned that lesson decades ago. Find a good independent mechanic and treat them like you do your Mama because they are an important person in this life. I'm sorry you had a bad experience with yours, but I have loved every single one of mine, and the thought of driving something else literally hurts my feelings. Hope you are blessed in whatever you drive now!

Bought my 2011 limited used with 84k on it. Beautiful suv. Got talked into Toyotas factory warranty for 3 year 36k miles. Was told it covered everything like it was a brand new vehicle. Then first oil change struts and shocks were leaking. Guess what. NOT COVERED. HAD THE XREAS SYSTEM. Dealer wanted 5k for the front and another 3k for the rear. Then the belt tensioners went. Guess what. NOT COVERED. Trans hesitates 5 seconds or so shifting into drive from time to time. Dealer says there is nothing wrong with it. I’ll bet after the warranty expires they will find the problem. All in all nice suv but be prepared for some pretty pricy repairs. Don’t waste the 3k on a warranty since nothing seems to be covered. I thought Toyota built a better vehicle. Had less problems with my Chevy and dodge which were cheaper to fix. Every oil change they manage to find 3-5 k of repairs needing to be done. Funny since I bought it with 84k as a certified pre owned and it now has 94k after 2 years of owning it

I felt very safe, it is comfortable, smooth ride and very dependable. No issues whatsoever. The design however... on the outside there are too many raised areas where it is hard to keep clean. On the inside there are too many areas with low points that are hard to keep clean, especially around the console.

Stylish yet built for a safari. Interior design, fit, and finish is excellent. All the modern amenities are at your fingertips. Ride is slightly firmer and view through the dash appears more truck like than previous models. However, upon test drive, that feeling quickly gives way. The 4Runner keeps you in control with responsive acceleration, steering, and braking. My three college boys and spouse all drive 4Runners. This is their favorite. The 4Runner delivers peace-of-mind and makes every ride a safe and fun experience for the whole family.

I am so excited when the Toyota gets delivered to my house today or tomorrow it drives awesome I’ve always wanted a Toyota forerunner this one exceeds my expectations for the price and the miles I would definitely recommend this to a friend and of course the dealership

Real nice and comfortable ride this is a classy SUV. No DVD are anything like that no gimmicks just a well engineered SUV it feels extremely well built tight, solid, powerful and a joy to drive. The 4Runners are worth the money and they live up to their fine reputation. Also this is one sexy ride blizzard pearl white is a eye catcher.

Great SUV. If reliably is #1 on your list. This is your car. I also highly recommend Diehl Toyota in butler, pa. See Dominick Hilwig!

My Toyota four runner is one of the best cars on the road I believe the way he drives and handles and comfort and the reliability of it and don’t forget they hold their value like crazy

I’ve owned a Chevrolet ‘84 S-10 Blazer, ‘04 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the Toyota 4-Runner. I purchased my 4Runner new in Jan 2012 after my 2004 Jeep started to fall apart. The 4Runner has the most comfortable front seats, good fuel economy with great power from 4 liter V6, and unbeatable reliability. Not a single repair needed in 7.5 years and it still looks new!

this suv i found to meet my needs. especially for towing.and gas mileage this suv also has far less blind spots than most of the suv's i test drove so far.
