2016 Toyota 4Runner consumer reviews

It's the very last body on frame bullet proof SUV. It's built like a tank is great for all types of driving situations and here in Illinois where the roads are almost as terrible as it's governor it needs to be ready to drive over potholes the size of Pritzkers rear end and handle it. I've had no problems and plan on holding onto it especially now that Toyota has taken a turn for the worse with garbage 4 cylinder turbos.

After enjoying a bully proof 2001 4Runner limited for several years, it was time to retire it for a 2016 SR5 Premium. I wisely bought the extended warranty . Things went well for a few years but then I noticed the liftgate was developing blistered paint and rust pinholes. Toyota covered this and dealership re-painted it (I should have insisted liftgate replacement.. more later). Then at 60k miles my steering got very difficult in random parts of a turn, like power steering was varying. Turns out the steering universal was worn and needed replacement for $1k. At about 65 k there was a loud rattle and the muffler heat shield (aluminum) became detached from body and was just laying in the muffler. Same thing happened at about 80k but with the catalytic converter heat shield. In both cases I did not replace as the attachment is just bad design, the steel has galvanic reaction with aluminum and just dissolves at fastener interface. All the while, my liftgate continued to rust from the inside and rattles so loudly with rust particles when I lift it. The rust staining is all over rear bumper. Now at 92k the rear window mechanism in the liftgate face out and window fell down all crooked as I was driving on a cold wet day. So I’m done with this lemon. Not what I expected, Toyota!

The Echols looks good but the AwD limited model was very sluggish and horrible gas mileage. For those that rate this vehicle high please go test drive a Jeep Cherokee or Honda pilot. Much better ride.

Great vehicle. Carries all the gear for construction or camping. Added rack for handling lumber. Too easy! Exceptional reliability on and off road. Solid highway truck, smooth and stable. Solid off road, tough and handles 4 wheel areas with ease. Awesome truck!

I owned a Nissan Pathfinder and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. I reviewed,looked over and test drove the 4Runner. Honestly and truly,I fell in love with the feature's,capabilities,the mileage capabilities because I have learned to tweak the computer a little. After 6 year's in Dec.,it looks almost as good as it did the day I bought it! I am very cognizant of the care my vehicle gets,and when the Dealer kept disregarding my complaint's about oily finger print's and oily body print's on my 4Runner,I fired them because of this,and the LIE THEY TOLD ME,saying that they no longer use Fender Cover's like they did when I bought it from them BRAND NEW! I FIRED THEM! Dealer prices are already in the Cloud's and with that price,I expect excellence at every level of service to my vehicle. I did have a Ceramic Coating applied when it was Brand New,and the shine is still so brilliant that I still get a Ton of Compliment's and stares from other SR5 4Runner owner's. The paint color is Midnight Blue Metallic. Thats a very pleasing feeling also knowing that I can pull up next to a little car,and he can see every detail of his vehicle and even the face of his passenger in the paint! This page is not long enough to say how much I am still enamored with this vehicle. It still has only 54000 miles on it and not even broken in! Always stay ahead of the curve on your Oil Changes and preventative maintenance and she just might be with you longer than your last wife?

They will they bent over backwards to help me in any kind of way any question that I asked they was there to answer it for me they just went all out and above to satisfy me

2nd 4 runner for me. This one has 3rd row seating whichbi like! The leather seats already started to peal. Very dissapointed the running boards sometimes stick and don't go back in automatically.

The overall reliability and performances vehicle has been outstanding. Every day it drives like a brand new vehicle with a minimum of service. Only major service items have been on the highway parts like tires and brakes.

I went from a Venza to a 4Runner. Cannot beat the reliability of Toyota’s. Wanted a bigger vehicle with towing capacity. Certainly am not disappointed!

this is my 5th 4runner,so i know what to expect.the mileage was high,but that is why they priced it right.with proper care ,this truck should run forever
