Pros: Everything! Power everything, sunroof, rockin soundsytem, comfy too! Cons: Eats up some gas, but thats it!
The 4runner is without a doubt one of the greatest sport utility vehicles ever built. I love this car dearly, and if you have the opportunity to obtain one of these SUV's, I highly advise you to do so.
There are so many wonderful and...

Pros: Solidly built, strong 4wd, great ergonomics, nothing ever breaks Cons: Cruising range, factory rear suspension, mediocre roof rack The Bottom Line: If it suits your purposes...you can't go wrong with the 4runner.
I may fall outside the typical demographic purchaser of SUV's...I actually take them off-road. I am an avid outdoorsman, flyfisher and even make an occasional ski trip...in the natural course of getting to my destinations, I've run into all sorts of...

Pros: Spacious Insides, Great Design, Excellent Agility Cons: None
We bought this vehicle because of many reasons. One, was the affordable price. It fit into our budget at the time, so it was a deal. Another, was the roomy, spacious, luxurious inside. It has nice leather seats, with trendy patterns and a nice feel. ...

Pros: style, size, comfort Cons: none
After deciding my next vehicle would be an SUV, I decided on the 4Runner for several reasons. First and foremost, I liked the looks of the 4Runner as compared to the more standard Jeep Grand Cherokee or Ford Explorer, and especially liked some of its...

Pros: Bulletproof reliability, Rugged, Solid Off-Road capabilities, Decent cargo space, Very Cold A/C Cons: V6 slightly underpowered. Cup holders awful. Small glove box. Bouncy, harsh ride. Seats uncomfortable. Noisy. The Bottom Line: This is a safe, reliable, capable SUV that can stand up to bad roads and go off-road as needed. This thing is a tank!
We bought our V6 powered, auto-transmission,'98 4Runner SR5 new from the dealership in December 1997. Since then we have clocked 230,000 miles on the odometer. From day one, we diligently performed all scheduled maintenance and only Toyota certified ...

Pros: Good looks, quiet ride, QUALITY Cons: Newer models don't look as good! The Bottom Line: I recommend this vehicle for its quality above all else. I hope the next generation 4Runners can match its quality, ride, and appearance.
This review is for a 1998 Toyota 4Runner with close to 100,000 miles as of March 2004. My 4Runner is an automatic 6-cyl 4WD. In the fall of 1998, I leased a 1998 4Runner SR5. I heard about the Toyota reputation for quality, and after testing a few ...

Pros: More carlike, off-road ability, backseat/cargo room, power, good gas efficiency, comfortable Cons: somewhat weak brakes, very plain dash/interior, slightly high priced
I had the pleasure of driving a 1998 4Runner SR5 4WD Automatic for about two weeks during the holidays. The truck belongs to my girlfriend's family, but it was our car for the time we were there at her house. Previously, I didn't have that great an...

Pros: Great drive Cons: cupholders
I don't know where to start. We have had our 4Runner limited for 2 years now, and we love it. We haul our two kids in it feeling secure all the time. The visibility and turning radius make it a dream in the parking lot. In addition it has been great...

Pros: Total Reliability Cons: Not as flashy as some "soccer mom" SUV's
I live in Colorado so I wanted a capable SUV and not a compromise soccer mom vehicle calling itself an SUV. I use my 4Runner to climb mountains on unpaved trails for fun and it's also my daily commuter during rush hour traffic on the freeway. Ground...

Pros: EVERYTHING Cons: More gas money than I'm used to paying
This car has to be one of the best things you could spend your money on. I love the look of all SUV's and the Toyota 4Runner caught my eye. I test drove it and I knew I had to have the car. It had a totally silent engine which is great because a lot of...

Pros: None Cons: Great looks and low Maintenance
What can I say about this Truck? Well I leased one in April 1998. I have had it now for about 2 years. There is nothing bad that I can say about it. I have put 80,000 miles and have not had to replace the brakes on it. I think that is amazing. My...

Pros: big bad boy Cons: $$$$$
I swore I would never buy an SUV. I live in the Silicon Valley, where the 1 ton behemoths crowd the highways and scare poor economy car drivers off the roads. However, I have 2 kids, and--I ain't buyin a Minivan.
The 4-runner cost mucho...

We are now in our second 4-runner. The ride is exceptional and the handling is outstanding for a SUV. We were initially concerned about the purchase of a SUV, due to the reports on possible roll-over accidents. However we feel completely secure with...

Pros: Reliability, design, versatility, ride, high resale value Cons: accessability for the vertically challenged, could use more power
We bought my 4Runner in April of 1998, and I've loved it ever since. The 4Runner accomodates almost every type of person. The car is very versatile, it can be used as a workhorse, a family vehicle, or a vacation car. This cars gives the owner...
