Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: improved ride, quality construction, amenities
Cons: middling mileage, purchase price, no third seat
The Bottom Line: The breakup of the 4Runner/Tacoma marriage brings a larger and more comfortable 4Runner to the market.
Among drivers who spend at least part of their time in the backcountry, the Toyota 4Runner has long had a reputation as an agile and durable off-road performer. Since its introduction in 1984, the 4Runner has been built on the same tough platform as...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Larger and roomier; great performance, better fuel economy and improved ride comfort
Cons: None
The Bottom Line: 2003 Toyota 4Runner presents its car-like comfort and improved off-road ruggedness. It's a 4th-generation SUV that's the benchmark of Toyota
There is no mistake that Toyota tends to dominate the SUV market with its series of well-built SUVs that have come to be the synonym of reliability, comfort, class and superiority in engineering and design. I am not writing the review of this vehicle...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Acceleration, Room, Back Seats, Audio/Climate controls, Handling
Cons: Uhm?
The Bottom Line: Certainly one of the best SUVs around.
This is our third Toyota, and certainly not the last. After a Tercel, and then a 4Runner, they have proven themselves to be worth every penny. They ran when you wanted them to, they required little maintenance, and they'd do whatever was needed; and the ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Size, comfort, driveability, styling, color, power...everything!
Cons: Mileage (but hey, it's an SUV)...that's all!
The Bottom Line: The best 4Runner ever; rugged and durable, well worth the cost.
My wife and I have been hunting for the "perfect" SUV for us for a couple years now, and we've been through several. None, until now, could hold up to our standards. The 2003 Toyota 4Runner is the only vehicle to pass muster...and boy, does it! The ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Build quality, comfort, interior room, tight turning radius, quiet and powerful engine
Cons: Key slots, gas mileage, cost of ownership
The Bottom Line: Stop looking at the other SUV's, save your money and BUY a Toyota 4Runner!
When Toyota decided to redesign the 4Runner for 2003, I was sceptical about whether or not the high price tag was worth it. I liked the new sleek, sporty look of the 03, and after reading Consumer Reports reviews I knew it was a vehicle I should ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: smooth and powerful V8, thoughtful features, bulletproof Toyota build quality
Cons: so-so mileage, styling quibbles, lack of vanity mirrors
The Bottom Line: Get this truck if you want off-road capability, above average street manners and near limitless V8 power. Toyota really nailed the new drivetrain technology. Couldn't be happier.
Toyota is apparently getting rid of the Landcruiser soon, leaving the 4Runner and the Sequoia as it's two truck based SUVs. The 4Runnner gets a bump up in size to make it closer to the soon to be missing TLC. I assume this is because the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: drivetrain polish, brakes, full-boat airbags, fit/finish, computer is in charge, rolldown rear window, AWD
Cons: somewhat trendy exterior, mileage
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this 4runner to anyone, unless you need third row seating, or your off-roading never exceeds jumping the boulevard to snatch a parking space at Walmart.
Perhaps driven by my father's Camry-induced Toyota fervor, or my dismay at becoming hopelessly bogge ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Roomy interior, refined ride, powerful and proven V8, stylish design, good on and off road.
Cons: Awkward instrument panel housing, no factory MP3 player option.
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a mid-sized, mid-priced SUV with high resale and reliability ratings, the 2003 Toyota 4Runner fits the bill.
Why The 2003 Toyota 4Runner SR5?
This is the year I decided my fairly active outdoor lifestyle waranted going from a small car to a larger, more rugged SUV. I do quite a bit of rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, and camping. Top that...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Power, handling/suspension, cabin room
Cons: Instrument panel, sound system, cargo space surface
The Bottom Line: This is great car, it may be a little pricey, but there's good reason it. It's a well built and great car.
I got my 4Runner after friend of my had purchased one. He had had an older one but it got totaled in an accident, so he purchase a 2003. The day I first saw it was like love a first sight, so I had to get one.
The new 2003 4Runner has lot more...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Roomy interior, new features, V8!
Cons: I just can't get past the exterior styling.
The Bottom Line: An excellent rating for build, fit and finish, and power. But I still don't like the styling.
OK, if you don't know this I'm very partial to Toyotas. This does not mean that I don't like other cars / trucks, it just means that if I'm going to buy something it will be a Toyota, probably. Kinda miffed about the fact there is no diesel offered in...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Sharp styling both interior and exterior, big improvements in size and cargo capacity.
Cons: None noted.
The Bottom Line: I think I made the right choice w/4Runner. Knowing your mechanic helps, but I don't want another first name basis relationship with every Toyota technician, like I had w/Mercedes.
One of the most dramatic changes in the 2003 4Runner must be the highly evolved body contours. At last the 4Runner has moved beyond "trucklike" into a stylish multi-purpose vehicle. My last car was a Mercedes ML 320 and through it I got to know every...

Pros: COMFORT, room, looks, options, price, sounds, power.
Cons: gas milage,ruff driving
The Bottom Line: i think it has a better gas milage for an SUV, comfortable, powerful and it looks good. try it out.

these are the vehicles i reject after test driving it, b4 i bought the 4runner:

Pros: Many extra features, Rides beautifully
Cons: Price
The Bottom Line: Final words....theirs no better SUV out on the market. The quality and craftsmanship on the 4Runner is like no other. It's like driving a luxury car.
The 2003 Toyota 4Runner is a fantastic car. From the new Body shape, it's new handling features and hidden compartments. It's has all the bang for the buck. I love how the 4Runner rides.... its, very smooth, like a luxury car. The 4Runner seems to be...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Power. Car-like handling. Yet with the same ruggedness as past 4Runners. Reliability.
Cons: Middling gas mileage.
The Bottom Line: You can never go wrong with a Toyota. Really.
Coming out of a 1995 Pathfinder, with a weak 153 horsepower engine and without airbags, it was a welcome feel to sit inside a 2003 4Runner; I got the V-8 Sport Edition 4x4 and not just because of the new-car smell. There's more room. Smooth car-like ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Lots of power, roomy interior, excellent off-road capability, good headlights
Cons: Price is a bit high, ground clearance and stock tires could be better.
The Bottom Line: Excellent vehicle, if you want a family friendly vehicle that you can take for a picnic in Moab or Baja.
Off-road performance for those loyal 4RUNNER owners combined with the much improved on road manners and high tech safety features. This new design is very capable off-road without any modification(more aggressive tires are necessary for the rougher st ...
