Pros: Comfort, Displays, ALMOST everything.
Cons: Engine power and Front passenger leg space.
The Bottom Line: Solid car
I just turned in my 4runner after a lenghty lease and it was a very sad parting but it allows me to do an honest review.
COMFORT and ROOMINESS:

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
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: 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...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
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...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Reliability, toughness, power, styling
Cons: MPG, nothing else
The Bottom Line: If the size is right for you and you want a solid, reliable SUV, look no further.
I bought my 4Runner new in Feb 1998. I've never regretted my decision. I shopped around looking at, and driving, the Pathfinder, Montero Sport, and Discovery. Driving those vehicles made my choice that much easier. I wanted a versatile vehicle...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: smooth ride, relatively quiet ride, fun to drive, attracts attention, safe
Cons: stiff suspension, needs more horsepower and acceleration
The Toyota 4-Runner is an amazing SUV. It has a smooth, comfortable ride and is most importantly...safe! The 4-Runner has been named one of the safest SUV's and one of the least likely to roll. I bought this car because it looks really nice, and it is...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great interior, sound system, four wheel drive
Cons: Heavy, rides like a truck
This is an excellent SUV. The inside is comfortable and roomy, and feels like a car. The sound system is nice (although not much bass). It's generally a smooth ride, although sometimes it can get rather bumpy. I like the car a lot, but as much as...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Look, Ride, Price, Security
Cons: Height from ground, breaking in bad weather
Let me begin by stating that I wasn't really in the market for a sports utility, but when I did decide, 4Runner won out over three other competitors in my book. I wanted a vehicle that was reliable, easy on gas, could hold to the road, and would keep up...
