597 000 kms (368 000 miles) and still going strong! I have put the last 320 000 kms on it and it has needed a fuel pump, front ball joints, spark plugs and wires and maintenance items like the timing belt. Other than regular maintenance, I have invested about $1500 in repairs since I have owned it and still use it for long trips and offloading.

Comfortable travel vehicle with lots of storage!
We love that this car has a lot of room for storage, which is great for when we go camping or on a road trip. We also like that it is high off the ground so that we feel confident if we need to off-road for any reason. Some of the features are a little outdated for this generation, such as the radio and lack of Bluetooth connection for phones/music, so we had to get an attachment. Also it uses a lot of gas.

Even though it's an older vehicle, it is reliable.
It's reliable. I like it's color. I hate it's age because of somewhat frequent repairs.

Almost 200,000 and still a reliable vehicle on and off road
My Toyota 4Runner with scheduled maintenance has been reliable vehicle for 17 years. I use it for work and play. It has enough room to take passengers and cargo comfortably. 4 wheel drive lets me go off road and continue to travel when the weather gets bad.

It is still running well because I have it maintained at the required intervals.
My vehicle has 277,000 miles on it. It is still running well because I have it serviced at regular intervals and get my oil changed every 5,000 miles.

2002 Toyota 4runner survey
4runners are amazing vehicles. I have never had any problems with my 4runner. It's an extremely reliable vehicle.
Venus J

Best thing about a Toyota.
Reliable has lasted almost 20 years. I have not had many costly repairs. This is my second 4runner my next one will probably be a 4runner or another Toyota product.
Leah O

An SUV, super good for off-roading or any water or snow.
It has 192000 miles on it and still runs perfectly. It has a few weird issues like sensors, the driver door doesn't unlock, and the ignition locks up sometimes. All if the problems are easy to deal with and easy to fix, so over all the car is pretty decent for the miles and the price.
Patricia D
on January 12, 2021
It has not cost me a lot in maintenance.
The seats are a little small. It accelerates to fast on hills and in curves. But it is a good ride and moves me from one point to the next.

It is made by foreigners from Asia.
4runner performs great 4x4 is awesome. Way better than anything American. I wouldn't take it to a Toyota dealership they will try to destroy it to make you buy a new one especially if you have a highly sought after year model.

She may be old but she's still kicking
My car has over 300,000 miles and is still going which is pretty amazing. However, due to this many miles it is obviously starting to have problems and increasingly so. The seats lay all the way back which is nice for camping or having to sleep in it. Although the back seats don't lay flat which is annoying when trying to fit things in the back
Josh M
on December 24, 2020
The best looking and best driving/riding vehicle in its class.
Wish I would've had this thing a long time ago, decent fuel mileage and not all the gadgets that come on the new ones. I like older simple things when it comes to vehicles. Rides smooth and has a ton of space, the back seats fold down and can fit a queen blow up mattress. You could drive this thing off a cliff pull the motor out and put it in another one that your pulled out of a lake and it would still be better than the car you're driving right now.

Review on an older model car .
My car is a 2002 I bought it in March 2018 it had a couple of things wrong with it but it is not new so it requires maintenance every once in a while. Once I fixed the problems it started working like it was brand new. If you have an older model car you have to make sure that you take care of it well and if you do it will work for a very long time !

Toyota 4runner: the most reliable car on the market.
This is the best car I have ever owned. The reliability is amazing. I have only had to perform maintenance due to normal wear and tear. The gas mileage is ok for an SUV -about 22 miles per gallon average with some Hwy and some city driving. Because it is an older car, it does not have all the fancy bells and whistles, like heated seats and nav systems, that newer cars have, but the seats are comfortable and the air conditioner/heater work well. When I buy my next car, I'll probably buy another 4runner.
Ron R

Toyota's last forever if you maintain them.
It starts every day and should last at least ten more years easily. The only negative is the bumpers are rusty. I love that it is small, fits in my garage, gets 21 mpg, but is big enough for me to sleep in and has 4WD so I can go anywhere. Having a truck frame helps it is durability.
Pam B
on November 3, 2020
It is easy to maintain. No need to take it to a dealership for oil change.
It is simple to operate. No complicated computers to break down. If needed, a local mechanic can service the vehicle. I do not need to take it to a dealership or find someone who has undergone specialized training to be able to work on vehicle.

Toyota 4Runners last a long time. She should go at least 400k miles.

Toyota - a vehicle that will last over 15 years
I like my 4runner options including sports model, color, side runners, and ability to pop, slide, or open the top window. The only complaint I have is the rubber around the left side of the doors has never been right.
Dylan C

They hold their value well in comparison to other makes and models.

2002 Toyota 4Runner is an excellent vehicle.
I have not had any real problems with my 2002 Toyota 4Runner other than the normal wear for a vehicle of this age. It has been an extremely reliable vehicle. My Toyota 4Runner is soon going to turn over to 400, 000 miles. We have decided to keep this vehicle as long as it continues to run.

It is reliable and well built. It runs well and has over many years and miles.
It is a great car that runs well and has few problems. My only complaints are due to damage done in an accident and don't have anything to do with the overall quality of the car. It's very reliable.
Karri W

That Toyota makes a very good product and is very dependable.
This vehicle has been very dependable for me. Everything works great. I usually only use it for errands because I am retired.
Katie B

I love my 4runner and here's why
I love my Toyota baby. She runs really great for her age, and with the proper tune up she purrs happily. Despite being an older model, the console's buttons and switches work fine, and sure it doesn't look nice, but it's a simple, functioning hatchback with just the right features I'm looking for. It's got great space in the back for groceries, and I can fold down the back seats to fit in larger materials. The sunroof is also great when I want to get some more air into the car while I'm driving, or I can open the trunk window with the controls on the dashboard. This truck doesn't have 4 wheel drive, but she handles as well as she can when taken off road, but don't be too rough.
Jim L

188,000 miles and still going
It is a very large vehicle. It's not the best gas mileage vehicle but has been extremely reliable. The 4 Runner is a very spacious and even has good cargo room in the back. We have driven this vehicle over 188, 000 miles with very little problems. We have had the oil changes on time and the tires a number of times but nothing major.
Venus J

Toyotas can last a lifetime.
It has lasted all of these years with minimal repairs. This is my second 4Runner. My next one may be a 4Runner or Toyota product. The cost I paid for it was good. After all these years the resale value still goes up. The v6 has more power than the sluggish v4. Keep it maintained and it will last a lifetime.
Kayla V
on March 1, 2020
It would be a great first car because it can get you places.
It is old, it does not have a mirror on the driver's side, and there is not an aux cord. But the benefits would be, that the seats are comfy, it is good for a first car, big trunk, and it can get you places. I have grown to love this car even though it does not have some of the tools as a newer car would have, like a camera or an aux. The car still has radio and it is not scratchy.
Elizabeth E
on February 14, 2020
Toyota cars run forever. I do not worry about my car breaking down on the side of the road.

The body and build of a 4Runner. Spacious and elegant trucks.
4Runners are really good vehicles and very reliable. I am nearing 400,000 miles on my 4Runner and it still runs like new. I perform monthly checks and maintenance requirements. I plan to purchase a newer model and pass this current 4Runner down as it was passed to me.
Isabella L

My Toyota 4runner is the best vehicle there is to drive in the snow since a 4 wheel drive runs great..

The most important thing is the great gas mileage for an suv.

Danielle D
on October 31, 2019
It has very basic features throughout all the models. It is not a high tech vehicle. It is geared towards people who enjoy off-roading. The vehicle has great space capacity and the motors will run forever in the vehicles so long as the frame does not rot first.
I love that the rear window rolls all the way down into the door panel. I dislike that the seats feel very stiff. Also the car does not ride exceptionally smooth and often feels bumpy or all over the place.
Rebecca W

The impressive Toyota 4runner.
The 4runner performance is great. Downside is gas usage. After 16 years the ac still works as foes the radio and CD player. I have very little repair cost. I however which I could afford to get the newer model. I enjoy road trips with the family. Toyota did a good job building the 4runner.

Pamela B

My local mechanic can handle the repairs.
My vehicle is easy to maintain. It drives more like a car than a sport utility. It is a reliable vehicle you can count on to get you where you need to go. I really like my vehicle because it was made before they started putting a lot of computer components. This also makes it cheaper to service than newer models.
Hannah L

Reliable and sporty- the perfect vehicle.
My car is very reliable- I haven't had to have more than maintenance repairs done since owning it. I love the gold color and how great the vehicle drives in snow. I trust my vehicle and would buy another 4Runner if given the chance. I love this car! Thank you Toyota.

Great car just older with less features.

I feel safe driving with my children.
I love that I feel protected with my kids in the car because it is a bigger vehicle yet it is not so big it is hard to park. I can drive on the beach easily and has plenty of room in the cargo area. It is a Toyota so I feel like I can trust it to take long trips.
Ada H

It has lots of space. Great for going out with your family. If you want you can install extra seats on the back and good for carrying heavy things or pull.
It is a family car, has lots of space love that. Very smooth to drive, but the air conditioning it was failing but it is fix now. That has been the only problem but other than that it is a great car.
Kate K

2002 Toyota 4Runner, dependable.
No problems, seems reliable, not as comfortable as the new fancier SUV's, better if you are going to the mountains. We have no fancy features, just basic. I do not know much about the performance I just drive it, but it gets me where I need to go. That's it!

The 2002 Toyota 4runner outperforms all other vehicles in its class.
This truck is very solid and reliable. I have made quite a few v repairs but they were all small ones. I have driven iron extremely long trips down backroads and on the highway. This vehicle is one I would purchase again. I intend to purchase another, newer one in the future. Toyota has outperformed other vehicles in its class, over and over again.

Toyota 4Runners are for everyone.
Best car I have ever had! As long as you keep up on the maintenance it runs like new. I have not had a lot of work done on it. It is really practical for all our family needs. We are able to transport the kids to and from wherever they are going with plenty of extra space for gear, groceries, you name it.

Awesome, irreplaceable. The Beast
I love my 4runner. Keep up with regular maintenance, oil changes, etc... Have had no problems at all. Can anywhere with it. Has tow package. No problems pulling camper or boat. Wouldn't sell or trade. Have been offered cash lots of times, but just can't let go of it.
Pam H

Comfortable 4runner, Dependable and stylish.
I owned it for 10 yrs., the only problem I had was my own fault - trying to charge the battery. It ruined my security system. Otherwise, always starts, comfortable, easy to keep clean, lots of room in rear for my garden supplies and a big bike. Love the back fold down seats, leather is comfortable to sit on as well. Can see in the rear view mirrors with a good view for backing up. Comfortable on long trips, good leg room.
