2005 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6 Quick Tour, Start Up, & Rev - 63K

2005 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6 2WD
This has a 4.0L V6 VVT DOHC V6 making 245 HP while paired to a 5 Speed auto.
I absolutely found these trucks repulsive back then, but when I had my moments inside the 2010 models, I know see the goodness this generation 4Runner does have ( Particularly with the Interior ). The 2010 Model's interior is absolutely bland, Hard Cheap plastics everywhere and almost nothing is soft to the touch. The interior in the 2010 model is a total step down. Additionally, the 2010 looks so bulky & Toyota had the Never to offer a 4 Cyl model to move around such a heavy SUV. They discontinued it for 2011 as they new it was a Shitty combo.

this should be titled let me complain about everything.......

A good friend (same one that has the '99 Corolla I mentioned) also has a 2003 4Runner same generation as this with the 4.0L V6. It's a Sport Edition, has all options but Leather and Rear DVD, oh, and it doesn't have a 3RD Row. But it's nice. I love these. Sound system (JBL Synthesis Surround Sound) BOOMS.

obviously you sir have no idea how to review a 4runner

[@StephanieSmith-kx9sg]

At least he gives his honest opinion but as it salesman trying to pitch a car sale I don't know if he's trying to talk you out of it or if he's just begging to get rid of it

[@MartinezFAMHawaii]

2010+ models cheap plastic? But it won't crack over the years & better hardwares and technology and safety features.

[@peterdavis9053]

2005 is better than 2010 any day lol

[@peterdavis9053]

if we didn't have it in 2005, we don't need it now.

[@xoquixxoqafxo]

interesting, this 05 already has a new battery but my dads is still trucking with the original one... thank god his doesnt have that eye sore crack on the dash tho.

[@TheCarArchives96]

the 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner/ Toyota SW4/ Toyota Hilux Surf was assembled in Tahara, Aichi, Japan Hamura, Tokyo, Japan

@Intechdude300 A loose gas cap will set off the CEL not MAINT light. You shoulddrive the V8 tho, so smooth an mine does a 6.6 0-60

[@zakyum]

I know this kid doesnt like Toyota's but I do, he is right however on the cheaper interiors on the new ones. Let's hope Toyota hears the complaints & changes to better plastics / arm padding / seat cloth quality & headrest design

[@toyota4runner1000]

i love this gen 4runner

[@Dabito827]

good review but your camera was out of picture a few times

[@Dmccraw1998]

how do you hate a 4 runner

[@TJC450]

@SubieSean That doesn't surprise me. The only reason I could see needing 4WD is if you like to drive on the beach lol.

[@Dankcatvacs]

so weird the oil filter is on top?~?

[@carguy379]

@Intechdude300 doesn't really matter although he would probably be looking at the 1st gen. I almost want him to buy one to see for himself when the interior falls apart

[@hondaftw1234]

4.7 Liter V8 FTW

[@bluehoopz44]

why do they crack

[@virginiaw8608]

I just want to see the 3rd row

[@form109]

lol the Shift knob is missing.

[@carguy379]

do a matrix. my friend loves them and wants to get one and im trying to tell him its a pos but he wont listen

[@coolluhfit]

nice ratio

[@Dankcatvacs]

@Intechdude300 2wd suvs are stupid if you want 2wd get station wagon or mini van!

[@SubieSean]

@Intechdude300 yeah....I guess that makes sense. but....it's no fun lol

[@SubieSean]

Only 2wd?? thats pointless!

[@thecico12345]

i have this vehicle. Im 18.

[@1970borntorun]

Great story! lol

[@nicholasallan8252]

i have this vehicle. Im 19

[@carguy379]

@Intechdude300 i might just do that. he hates every american car his parents refuse to buy them so he just got it from them i guess. he still thinks toyotas are the best. ill let him get it and watch it fall apart on him

[@matiasfencina5747]
