Absolutely love it

TRD Premium: off road capabilities are un rivaled by any stock vehicle I've owned. Had a wrangler that was decent off road but the TRD goes places the Jeep could have only dreamed of. Comfortable on road trips and around town.

2nd 4Runner. We don't want to drive anything else.

These are great SUVs. Comfortable on long trips and good safety ratings. We had 2 major accidents in our last 4Runner and walked away from both. Unfortunately, the vehicle was totaled in the last wreck so we bought another one!

2nd 4Runner

I've owned my 1999 4Runner for 14 years, and it has been a rock. The only items I've replaced outside of normal maintenance is the starter and the rear tailgate lift supports. It currently has 191k miles and it's now my daily driver. I have full confidence it will last another 100k no problem. The new 4Runner TRD PRO takes the same successful formula of the '99, but with improvements all around. It's still a body on frame design, so the same off-road prowess and rugged demeanor. The ride is much more isolated and bumps are no match...but you do feel them. The power is plenty for the job. The rear-window roll-down feature is still present. The big improvements are in the 4WD features. I plan on using this as my weekend warrior for mountain-biking and camping trips and I like to get off the beaten path every now and then. The advanced off-road features basically provide a cruise-control setting for difficult terrain so I can concentrate on pointing the vehicle to the right spot. I'd argue only the Wrangler has the capability off-road as this thing off the factory floor. I plan on keeping this one for 14+ years as well, and hopefully my 2-yr old daughter will like it enough to drive it when she reaches 16. Don't get me wrong, it does not have many of the safety or creature comforts of most SUV's, but it nails it's intended purpose. Rugged, reliable and it looks good to boot.

Greatest vehicle

I absolutely love it. I have the trd off road, it?s comfortable, I have enough room for my kid and passengers, the gas mileage is good! I feel like I am in a tank, which I love! These cars will go easily for 300k miles as long as you take car of them!

So Far Great

SO far I love it. It is doing exactly what I wanted. I have used to tow 2 different type of trailers and it does the job nicely.

Reliable, Comfortable, Stylish

The 2018 Toyota 4Runner is a dream SUV. Built on a truck frame, but you would never know it by the drive. Smooth as can be, yet can take the back roads like a champ. These vehicles are built to last. The interior is practical and comfortable, plenty of leg room in all areas. Cargo space in the rear is amazing. With third row seats, it takes almost all of it away, but the seats can be folded one-two up and with ease. With modern features that are easy to use, you don't get lost in the buttons and interior controls! The exterior is gorgeous. When my daughter is old enough to drive in 10 years, I have no doubt this car will be in tip-top shape still and ready to be a great first car...or I might just keep it for myself because I love it so much. Living in NH the winters are rough on the roads, but this vehicle will be able to take it all with no problems. Built to last, reliable, dependable, little maintenance needed, stylish, and comfortable...cannot go wrong with a 4Runner!

2018 4Runner Limited

We just purchased our new 4runner ltd. a month ago and we love everything about it! We love the smooth & solid ride! we are a big family so it has 3rd row seats which is very useful for us. Our first drive was crazy but pretty amazing, we drove through the WINTER STORM and that doesn't bother us (thanks to the full time 4WD), we drove it confidently & flawlessly like a pro! Gas Consumption is pretty fair as expected. We previously owned a jeep liberty and I can compare that the 4runner has a pretty good gas consumption than the jeep. Reliability and performance are one of the reasons why we purchase the 4runner. But over all, we just loved it! We love everything about it!!!
