4runner. Great truck and they last forever.
Its is a wonderful little SUV it's a tough dependable truck. I've had it for 5 years and for it to be a older truck it still runs like a beauty. I would recommend 4runners to anyone they are really great vehicles. Good dependable reliable vehicle. Get you a 4 runner you won't regret it.

Black limited 4runner with 4whl drive. Leather interior, automatic transmission.
Absolutely the best. The old 4runner style cannot be beat with reliability and quality. Given, its certainly not a luxury car by any means. Mine is almost 20 yrs old and it runs like a champ.

Older Model SUV beats out any new truck any day.
I have an older model of the 4 Runners. It was one of the best model years Toyota put out. This SUV is a great family car or light work truck. I have a tow trailer hitch installed on my truck and can pull a light pup trailer or camper. I use my truck mainly for personal use and have been known to haul everything under the sun moving things back and forth. The back seats are spacious and if more cargo room is needed they lay down easily. Gas mileage is decent for the SUV but is pretty efficient when on reserve. The reserve once the light comes on must be 60 miles. I have yet to run out of gas. I love my truck.

My 4Runner is silver with new LED lights and racks on top.
I love my 4Runner. It is not really made for off roading but we go in many dirt and uneven roads and successfully make our destination. Our 4runner has always got us to our destination with no issues on performance. Inside is very comfortable and simple design.

It's very reliable and is good on gas.
I like everything about my vehicle. I don't dislike my car in any way

An amazing vehicle
I bought Limited 4Runner because I'd always thought they were timeless in their design. Although a 2000, I seldom see any SUV that has such a great look. As far as the drive goes, it could benefit from more horsepower - but it's very nimble onits feet. If you have the chance to buy, I would say do it in a second after you look it over and, of course, buy from someone that has taken care of their 4Runner.

What features I do not like about my 4Runner.
I do not like that the power locks. Lock automatically. I do not like how the back seats fold down. It seems like more work than should be necessary. The dashboard lights at night are extremely dim. It does not drive very well in the winter even when it is in four wheel drive.

My vehicle is black with brown and black interior. It is a bigger sized car.
This vehicle is not too bad. It is lasted over 19 years and still runs well with over 200, 000 miles. My only problem is that it is outdated and has needed some minor work in the recent years. It has outdated features but is pretty comfortable and reliable. Definitely a good car to invest in.

Toyota 4runner is built to last.
I like it because Toyota’s are built to last but you have to keep up with the maintenance just like with any other car. I have had it going on for years and it is an old car but she’s still running. Good on gas and it has lots of mileage on it but it is very reliable heat and ac still works like it is a brand new car.

4Runner 2000 Used but New
Very reliable vehicle even after it's been passed down twice! All the electrical features work. Made it through my teenage years with it with also low maintenance needed! Parts are very easy to find at local stores. Gas mileage for a 4wd isn't bad at all!
accountCircle Winston B
It's a dependable transportation,and it strong.and easy to maintain.
It doesn't have a camera to view the rear.it has horrible power.I dislike its color.
accountCircle Kimberly W
Need a new car please. Help me. Tired of my car. Someday I will have a new car.
It used to be a great SUV but because of its age it has become somewhat worn-out on the inside. The engine still runs great but the interior needs replaced and the ignition needs to be replaced. Also the air conditioner doesn't work. If you turn on the air it blows the fuses to my dashboard and I don't know how fast I am going or how much gas I have.

Old and reliable Toyota 4Runner.
After 18 years owning this car, it has been able to hold up for a long time and still reliable enough to transport you to all the places you need to go. The car has a lot of space and is comfortable to sit in. With a larger car and larger wheels, you do not have to worry too much about running over anything that will hurt your car or popping tires. But since the car is old, the heating and cooling system is not all that great. You mostly have to rely on opening the windows to cool or hope for the best for winter. Radio wise is not so great unless you install a new system. The car tends to overheat now and antifreeze has been our only option to solve this. Overall, the car is really reliable and does it job, but if you want more modern gadgets and more comfort I would suggest an earlier model.
