I've owned a 2007 and 2015.

Pros: very reliable, very good resale value, very good ride (at least with the Limited)

Cons: interior styling leaves a lot to be desired in comparison to other vehicles in its class, remote start system is pointless, no power rear lift gate (no clue why).

Yea. True. It's absolutely pointless.

Is it me or absolutely no car gets more love on the OT than the Toyota 4Runner!

I know why, too. Reliability. Open the driver side door, see that sticker? It says Made in Japan.

I had one for 13 years. Great vehicle, well worth the money. You should also look at a Highlander.

You should get the old school "TOYOTA" for the grille to replace the logo. My buddy has one and it looks awesome.

If you ever plan on lifting it, don't get the KDSS option.

I had a Yukon and now I have a 2015 Buick Enclave fully loaded, it is an awesome SUV.

Super quiet, rides great, 3rd row seats with 2 row buckets.

19 mpg in town. around 40k loaded.

Best SUV if you are not off roading and want to stay under 50k.

Don't tell that to a WWII vet. My grandpa hates the fact that I drive a Honda.

Email me, I will make you great deal on new or if your looking pre-owned.

We took a '00 4runner in on Monday, 124k miles, service history every 4k miles, lady did every recommended maintenance, extremely well taken care of. I am looking to buy it tomorrow.

Can't go wrong with a 4Runner.....I have a base 2000 Sr5 with close to 200,000 & it's an incredible suv. Nothing beats this truck for rugged reliability & resale. Mine rides incredibly stiff & more like a Jeep but that's what I like about it. The new ones are far more composed & smooth on the road. My Fav feature is the reclining rear glass..since I basically use mine for truck duties. Looks are subjective but I'm really starting to dig the newer Trail & Limited models. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. I tried to get my wife into a new one but she wanted a GX which is basically the cousin of the 4Runner.

This is funny because I insist on buying "MiJ" vehicles. Lol

3rd row and TRD Pro is counterproductive
