There is nothing more indomitable then a Toyota 4 Runner. My '99 has over 350,000 Km on the odometer. It's driven as far as the moon is away from Earth. It's shrugged off several minor accidents with barely a scratch to my family. It has the same bloodline as the indestructible Hi-Lux. Not even death itself could stop it, and while that may be completely biased, and it has quite a couple of replacement parts in it and on it. It drove as far as the moon. Could modern cars go that far and still shrug off the ravages of time? I can't say, but it sure as hell made its case.

The 2015 4Runner Trail I'm buying will be our 3rd 4Runner. My truck is a '04 Tacoma V6 TRD X-cab, successor to my '93 DX bought almost new. Been driving Toyotas since I was 17..that's 35 years of punishment the vehicles have survived, and owner satisfaction. Will be selling my Lexus ISF for a RCF soon. I here the '16 Tacoma is all new as well. Too bad other makers don't build vehicles this durable, and stand behind them like Toyota does. As long as this is the case, Toyota will continue to get my money. :)

A lot of people diss the style of the 4Runner, but I actually love it (I'm 29, single male, just arriving back home from traveling for 7 years, living in CO). I'm always wondering about the folks that dont like it....well then what style do you like? Or maybe most people are married to a more old school grille? Or that it's too bulky and want something more like the Mazda CX-5 / crossover type? It seems they hound Toyota for not making more aggressive styling, then when Toyota does, say it's ugly. I commend Toyota for sticking to an incredible vehicle and couldn't be happier with my purchase. I see about 19.5 average on my 4x4 2014 SR5. In the market for a ~25-30k used SUV, was torn between the Q5, Cherokee, Forester XT. I was set on the Q5 and XT until I drove the 4Runner. The Audi drove the best, the XT a tiny bit flimsy and geeky, though fast. The Jeep was just ... how to say... so basic-y Americana bro with an air of trying too hard, ( and the sales guy was as well). I chose the 4Runner knowing that this beast was going to last a long time, without spending any time or too much money in the shops, and that I could sell the thing for a really good price when I'm done with it. It's the perfect vessel for a person to take on adventures and ride the roads in any condition with a peace of mind. It doesn't try too hard and has all the right things a young guy needs in a steed. The upgraded 5th gen looks awesome, doesn't try hard yet maintains composure and style, and most importantly sticks to its roots and humility, something everyone could use a little more of these days.

+Luke Skywalking I think it looks awesome. It looks mean & masculine, but at the same time it also looks very simple and modest. Toyota didn't go overboard with chrome accents and other gimmicks, and kept the shape boxy. The pre-facelift 5th gen 4Runner looks way too plain IMO. Now that the FJC is gone, Toyota is trying to position the 4Runner as its aggressive looking offroader.

Got a '16 Trail Premium a few months ago and love it so far. Coming from a turbocharged Subaru, I expected handling to be awful but that hasn't been the case at all. Even with AT tires, the 4Runner is not too floaty at highway speeds and handles curves fairly well. Sure there's a bit of body roll, but it's really not that bad. You get used to it eventually. I've also been very impressed with how relatively quiet the cabin is at high way speeds. Not too shabby for a truck with 9.6" of ground clearance and big tires. Power is adequate most of the time -- however, to wake up the engine you'll need to literally floor it with the pedal actually touching the floor. Fuel economy isn't very good as others have noted. I get 16mpg most of the time and have never gotten more than 19.5mpg with combined city/highway driving (however, that's with BFG KO2 tires, not OEM tires). Overall the whole truck feels very solid and confidence inspiring. I think if I ever have to replace it again, it'll be another 4Runner regardless of gas prices.

Hey Toyo! Remember me , the deployed GI from 2005? I Cant imagine the maintenance after 36,001 miles... I bought my firts 4Runner in 2002. The transmission died at 3,005 miles in 2005. I paid $3,089.00 to get it fixed ( a bargain at local non Toyota shop). Luckily I was deployed and was able to pay for the repairs. I have a 2006 4Runner and the repairs just keep adding on right after 3,000 miles. Luckily, my wife bought the exgended warranty with this klunker. Not covered under warranty are the tire pressure system. Each one cost about $250.00... Good luck....

I'm looking forward to more reviews like this for vehicles that parade around with the "outdoorsy" look but can (or can't) actually back it up like car-based rivals (which was briefly mentioned in the review). *Hint hint* Could the next Subaru Outback or Forester review show us some off-road prowess in the review please? Or even the next SUV/CUV review KBB does? I know a lot of buyers don't come to KBB to find that kind of information but it'd be nice to see KBB exploring that kind of topic with SUV's and CUV's in some reviews. =P The old KBB videos kind of did (old Subaru Forester and Porsche Cayenne review from KBB).

@wtrdogg2010 жыл бұрын
Well, I think the Wrangler Unlimited has nothing to be ashamed when compared to the 4Runner... It is capable, spacious, with lot of cargo area... I still think a Wrangler Unlimited is better...

Man it's a nice SUV but toyota killed it with the piece of shit V6 it's under power it's too heavy too slow it needs the V8 engine back with 6 speed then we can talk about the 4runner
@simonfarr86709 жыл бұрын
peice of crap V6? honestly, the 4.0L is better than the 4.7L. whats important is Torque, which is better per HP and Weight in the V6. if you want more power with minimal weight increase, new air filters, exhaust, and especially the supercharger by TRD is what you would want

@cerb3459 жыл бұрын
I understand where you're coming from, but regardless of V6 or V8, 270HP is pretty sufficient for a vehicle of its weight. That old 4.7L V8 from the earlier 4Runners only had 240 some odd HP. I don't see where the improvement comes from? Moreover, that 5-speed is absurdly reliable, and is Toyota's go-to transmission for anything that will see more punishment than your average Corolla. The A750 is over a decade old, but people are quite willing to pay for piece of mind that this transmission will carry on shifting immersed under 4 feet of mud, flashing nature the middle finger between gear changes past 200k+ miles.

The 4Runner always seemed like the ultimate vehicle to me, back in the late 1990s. I'm glad it still has it's niche in todays market of car-like unibody SUVs and cross-overs. It's offroad worthiness makes it genuine.

Living in Alaska, the 4Runner has proven itself to be a beast! With massive potholes in the roads, snow/ice, off-road camping trails, it's nice to have a vehicle that is unfazed. Yet, civil enough to use as a daily commuter to work.

Nice 4Runner review on where it can go and do. I have one that is 11 years old and still loving it! My son and I took it to places today that most vehicles could not even dream of. After we were done, drove it home on roads and sprayed it off at the carwash. Good to go for my work week. Must I say more???
@joeracer3028 жыл бұрын
Lol'd when you said "4Runner's competition" because the 4Runner is a niche market with not much in the way of a true competitor. The closest thing to a competitor left would be the Jeep JK, and while those may win in off road capability there is no way a Chrysler product beats a Toyota in reliability. Chances are someone considering a Wrangler wouldn't consider a 4Runner, and vice versa. Both are niche markets. So, when you compare something like the 4Runner to vehicles that *used* to be true SUVs, body on frame, then I can't help but laugh. Maybe at one point the Explorer and Pathfinder were competition for the 4Runner, but now they're just another glorified soccer-mom-mobile. Who cares if an Explorer gets better gas mileage? When you hit 150k miles, when you hit where the pavement turns to dirt ... you'll want a 4Runner ...

***** Anything with good tires is exceptional in the snow, and anything with shit tires is terrible in the snow, regardless of all other factors. Snow performance is almost purely driven by tire choice. A civic with snow tires will out perform a 4Runner with all-seasons. I'm still a fan of 4Runners though :D

I like the 4Runner, but this car deserves a V8. The 4Runner's Exterior looks very powerful when you find it only has a V6. It's also not good value, the 4Runner TRD Pro costs near "$50,000". Sure it's a great car but with "$50k" you can buy a model s that has way much Horsepower, Faster, and it has Autopilot which can drive on its own. This car deserves to be $20k-($35k) for the TRD Pro.
