2017 Toyota 4Runner Review: A Great SUV for Off-Roading that Struggles on the Pavement

Feb 7, 2022

The 2017 4Runner is a rugged off-road SUV that holds its value exceptionally well. But gas mileage and comfort issues make the Toyota less suitable for everyday use.

The Good

Superb off-roading capabilities allow drivers to take the 2017 4Runner almost anywhere. Its spacious interior offers an abundance of cargo room or fold-away third-row seating. High resale value means the 2017 Toyota 4Runner holds its worth better than most.

The Bad

There are wide reports of the 2017 4Runner being an uncomfortable ride, and third-row seating, while convenient, is also cramped. The SUV’s V6 engine is not as fuel-efficient as some competitors, and there are limited options when it comes to advanced safety features in the 2017 4Runner.

The Bottom Line

The 2017 4Runner shines in the dirt, but in the city or on the highway, there are more affordable and versatile SUVs built with those purposes in mind. But the 2017 4Runner may still be the way to go if you can overlook an uncomfortable ride for passengers and woeful gas mileage.

2017 Toyota 4Runner: Quick Overview

For 2017, Toyota Racing Design took over the 4Runner platform, aiming to give the SUV a more enhanced off-roading experience.
The 2017 4Runner is a more rugged version of its predecessor, but with this ruggedness comes some reported discomfort for passengers.
A 4.0L V6 engine puts out a fuel economy of 17/21 mpg city/highway on two-wheel-drive versions and 17/20 on four-wheel-drive 4Runners.
J.D. Power rated the Toyota 4Runner the #1 Midsize SUV in 2017.
Only 26 complaints have been filed with the NHTSA. And, of its five recalls, three are for improper labels, and none are threats to passenger safety.

Matt S

4runner great look and reliability.

Great vehicle! Would definitely recommend, comfy, reliable - can get anywhere. Great for family vacations, lots of space for storage. Kids love it, third row seating also has lots of space and leg room. Great looking, blacked out logos looks great, predator steps also look good.

Holly K

2017 4runner is a great purchase it is great for off roading.

I love my trd pro, great off roading and great speed great look and great color. I am so happy with my new vehicle the way it hugs the rocks and the mountain is great as well. It only has 26000 miles and the gobi roof rack is great for my roof tent and other car buyers would be happy to purchase the same type of vehicle.

jim J

It has high quality and is comfortable

It is a very practical and comfortable vehicle when it comes to going out for a walk with my whole family

Nahdia P

Why I love my toyota 4runner.

I absolutely love me vehicle, the only thing I can complain about is how too heavy it is, so when driving and it is windy outside, it is frustrating. But overall, in love with my car. Rides smooth, never had an issue with it. I have had it for just over 2 years now, but I have no complaints!

Matthew S

Lasting quality with excellent performance.

Excellent acceleration and handling for an SUV. After 3 years and 33,000 miles I have had no engine issues and the interior has held up incredible. I have towed with it a few times and it handles trailers great, to the point you can forget they are back there!

Tom C

It is a 4 wheel drive vehicle, which requires a monthly exercising of the 4 wheel drive option.

I really like the comfort of the vehicle. I like to take it on long cross country trips and it carries all the stuff I need. It has a great navigation and sound system. I dislike that the back seats do not fold flat, which eliminates the ability for me to sleep in the back comfortably when I am car camping.

Traci K

Safe, smooth and dependable ride.

The toyota 4runner is a great vehicle. It drives smooth without a lot of road noise. It is very spacious on the inside. I feel very safe driving it as well. It has all the features of a luxury vehicle. Mine has a third row which I love. I would not want to drive anything else. Oh and the local service department is extremely helpful and friendly.

Susi N

! 4runner black 2017! Smart car.

Big car. High and safe. Lots of space. Nice color black. Nice and large view in the front. Perfect for Texan roads ( size of the car). The car also has lots of space in the inside. Good if you have kids for car seats (lot of space for the car seats).

Yvette P

The cat doors are the main problem.

The things wrong with my car is that usually the car doors make a lot of noise when I am driving and the key does not open up all the doors when I hit the unlock button. Sometimes the a/c does not work. It will also break down out of nowhere and stop in the middle of the street when driving. Also the aux cord to plug does not work as well.

Donald M

How to respond to my needs!!!!

Complicated "bells and whistles and seat adjustments!!!

Jamie F

It is a reliable SUV, whether it is rain snow or dryland the car can take it.

It is new which I like but it does not have heated seats in the back, and the rear hatch is a pain to have to pull down.

Angela Peters

Paint issues

I bought this car 13,000 miles and there are scratches all over the vehicle. This really makes me upset. I love the car itself but it's like they didn't put but one coat of paint on it and no clear coat. I'm tired of getting messed over by car companies!

Ann R

Overall, very reliable Toyota lives up to its reputation.

2017 Toyota 4runner has been reliable with over 28,000 miles already. This is our second purchase. The first was a 2008 4runner, both sr5 models. The 2017 has a more rugged look. Some features that were changed, the headrest has fewer adjustments, the controls for heat/cooling system are knobs which takes your focus off the road, the scout navigation GPS program is not reliable. I use my smartphone for google maps, more accurate. Too bad for a newer vehicle/cost of the this the navigation could have been more up to date. Came with standard floor liners throughout, which I like for New England living. The headrests in the backseat partially block the view of rear window. Cabin has plenty of space and came with extra 120v ports for electricity if needed. 4wd shifts easily back and forth from driver's seat control. Seats are comfortable, good lumbar support.

Nicole B

It has a lot of vehicle space in the back. The seats can also fold downwards.

This vehicle is my mother's vehicle, as mine was not listed. I have ridden in her vehicle before. It is not too large, like a pickup truck, but it is not as small as a car. It's ride is also very smooth.

What Problems Does the 2017 Toyota 4Runner Have?

The 2017 4Runner’s two most concerning recalls are for a roof rack and front grille that are prone to loosening and falling off the vehicle. The rest of the recalls deal with incorrect labels on the vehicle. Of the 4Runner’s few complaints, the most common issue is a spongy brake pedal, which drivers say loses pressure with no prior warning, often forcing them to press the pedal all the way to the floor to get the brakes to work.

Other complaints on the NHTSA database are about the wiring system. Toyota uses a soy base for its wires, and this attracts rodents, who love the taste (no, seriously). According to this Seattle-based electrical system complaint, it is a very common issue, and leads to the car’s electronics systems behaving erratically. Something to consider if you live in an area with a high rodent population.

What are the Prices, Models, and Specs?

SR5 is the Toyota 4Runner’s base model that had an MSRP of $34,200 for the two-wheel-drive version.
TRD Off-Road models started at $38,300 and featured four-wheel drive, with trim that was essentially unchanged from the SR5.
TRD Pro Series, which started at $43,400, also has four-wheel drive and an elevated trim platform more properly geared towards rugged off-roading.
The Toyota 4Runner Limited models, whose MSRP was $43,500 in 2017, are similar to the TRD Pro series, with enhanced interior luxuries like memory-foam seats.

Compare those to today’s prices, and you will see that the 2017 4Runner’s value has not dropped much at all, with used vehicles ranging from $30,990 for the SR5 to $47,999 for a fully-equipped TRD Pro model. Some SR5s have even seen their prices increase since 2017, a rarity for any vehicle, and likely caused by the ballooning car market we have seen since 2020.

How Long Will the 2017 Toyota 4Runner Last?

The 2017 4Runner has only been on the road for five years now, but if prospective buyers look to Toyota’s lengthy history with vehicles that last well beyond 200,000 miles, it wouldn’t be out of the question to expect the 2017 4Runner to do the same. 4Runner owners on enthusiast sites like 4Runners report their vehicles lasting from 250,000 to 300,00 miles on average. These vehicles were designed for intense off-roading purposes, with 4Runners being spotted in conflict zones like Syria.

Annual maintenance for the 2017 Toyota 4Runner has been priced at around $696 by Repair Pal. This means a monthly maintenance budget of $58—not bad for something many drivers will expect to tackle terrain from Moab to the Mojave Desert.

Ashley T

My 4Runner is our third Toyota vehicle. I think it is very reliable. However, there is a slight wind whistle from the driver’s door. I have asked the dealer to inspect it but they haven't found anything wrong.

Cindy M

It is very reliable. Have had no issues at all. It gets me to work every day and through bad weather in the winter

Victoria B

So far the 2017 Toyota 4Runner is very reliable. We have not had any problems with any electronics, mechanical, or anything I can think of. In the hot summer the AC has worked great as well.

Peggy W

I've never experienced any problem with the vehicle. Toyota’s are very reliable and aren't likely to breakdown.

Lindsey R

Very reliable for the last several years and has never had any random issues or kinks in the vehicle

Sam A

Not yet it looks perfect and nice model will definitely buy in future for sure. 4runner is reliable and worth it to buy

Lindsay M

I think yes, it is reliable because for the moment I don't have any problem with the car, I'm really happy

What Technology & Safety Features are Included?

When it comes to safety, Toyota’s 2017 4Runner scores well in Insurance Institute for Highway Safety collision tests. It received scores of “Good” in every category except the small overlap-front region of the driver’s side, which received a “Marginal” rating. The 2017 4Runners come equipped with many safety and technology features that include:

Eight airbags and side-impact door beam
ABS braking system and stability control
Backup camera with projected path
Foot pedal parking brake
Three-point seat belts for all seating positions
Child-protector rear door locks and power window lockout
Entune Premium JBL audio system with navigation and app suite
6.1 in high-resolution touch-screen with split-screen display
AM/FM CD player with MP3/WMA playback capability

The main knock against the 2017 4Runner’s safety features is the absence of a front crash prevention system.

What Engine Options are Available?

All 2017 4Runners come equipped with a 4.0L V6 engine. Paired with a five-speed automatic transmission, the V6 puts out 270 horsepower, but is reported, as are many recent 4Runner models, to not accelerate very quickly. Torque tops out at 278 lb.-ft., enough to tow up to 5,000 pounds. The decision to mate the 4.0L engine with a five-speed transmission hampers the 2017’s fuel economy. With 17/21 mpg city/highway, it’s one of the worst performers in its class.

What Color Options are Available?

How Big is the 2017 Toyota 4Runner?

Consumers love the amount of overall space they have inside the Toyota SUV. Optional third-row seating allows for up to seven passengers, but those passengers in the third row might be hitting their knees against the seats in front of them. The front seats are roomy and a high ceiling allows for above-average headroom; the 2017 4Runner doesn’t leave you feeling claustrophobic in the front seats. With the third row down, the rear compartment of the 2017 4Runner holds 47.2 cu. ft. of cargo; that’s enough space for about 19 microwaves in the back of your Toyota. Notable dimensions include:

Length: 190.2″ (SR5, Premium); 190.7″ (Limited)’ 191.3″ (TRD Off-Road, Off-Road Premium, and Pro)
Width: 75.8″
Height: 70.1″ (no roof rack); 71.5″ (with roof rack); 72″ (TRD Pro)
Headroom: first row: 39.3″ (38.6″ with sunroof); second row: 38.6 inches; optional third row: 34.3″
Legroom: first row: 41.7″; second row: 32.9″; third row: 29.3″

How Does the 2017 Toyota 4Runner Compare to Other Midsize SUVs?

J.D. Power ranked the 2017 RAV4 as the Number One midsize SUV in 2017 in a three-way tie with the Buick Enclave and the Toyota Highlander. The Buick is significantly cheaper on the used market, with buyers paying between $23,000 and $34,000. But it’s important to note that both the Enclave and Highlander were meant for far different purposes than the 2017 4Runner. If you’re looking for an in- and around-town vehicle, the Highlander or Enclave might be the better bet—both get improved gas mileage and a cheaper price tag.

However, if you’re looking for off-roading capabilities, consider the 2017 Jeep Wrangler or Grand Cherokee—both four-wheel-drive vehicles. The 4×4 Wrangler has the same gas mileage, slightly improved horsepower, and a much lower price tag, at around $25,000. But towing capacity is reduced to 2,000 pounds, and it comes with fewer safety precautions than the 4Runner, and a lower IIHS score.

The Grand Cherokee is a more direct competitor of the Toyota 4Runner—an SUV that looks good and holds its own both on the pavement and in the dirt. With the Grand Cherokee, drivers get a lower price tag, between $20,000 and $30,000, and an improvement in gas mileage. Towing again takes a dip, down to 3,500 pounds.

On paper, the Jeeps seem the more cost-effective buy for a driver who’s looking to get into some off-road adventures, but with the Jeeps come some increased maintenance costs, as with any American vehicle compared to a Japanese automaker. Additionally, there aren’t many who could expect to see the same longevity out of a Jeep as they would a Toyota.

Final Verdict: Is the 2017 Toyota 4Runner a Good SUV?

For diehard off-roaders, yes. The 2017 4Runner is the best option at this price range. It was meant for rugged endurance, and the SUV can do more than competitors when it’s off the pavement, and it will last much longer doing it, while holding its value better than most vehicles on the market.

The 4Runner excels in the dirt, but in the city or on the highway, there are more versatile SUVs to consider for lower prices. But the 2017 4Runner may still be the way to go if you can overlook an uncomfortable ride for passengers and woeful gas mileage.

I love that the back windshield window can roll down.

I absolutely love my car. I love how high the car is off of the ground, it allows me to have a great line of sight in front of me as well as the sides. The car is extremely spacious and can easily fit 5 people with a bunch of luggage in the back with no issues. I wish I had gotten my car with a sunroof but that is my only complaint.

Christine R on June 8, 2021

My 2017 Toyota 4runner review.

Toyota 4runners are. Fantastic vehicles. I have owned a lot of them over the years and would highly recommend them. They are very reliable, safe, comfortable and easy to drive as well as they maintain their value and beauty over time. I think it's safe to say that inside every 4runner is a happy owner.

Alana H on June 5, 2021

Best off road family vehicle on the market.

I love my Toyota 4runner, it is so comfortable and so easy to put in 4 wheel drive. The 3rd row is perfect for my kids and still gives us room for chairs in the back. I love that the 4runner has great ground clearance and I can easily take it anywhere I want to go. It also has so many and on features available which is a major plus.

Martha P on June 1, 2021

Perfect car in every way.

I have been driving mine for three years with zero issue. Roomy, dependable, comfortable. The seats are a breeze to clean which is important with kids! Only complaint would be the factory tires did not perform well in wet conditions so I upgraded. But besides that, I am in love with the 4runner.

Ryan O on May 30, 2021

General review and broad opinion.

Simple, durable and practical for what I need. 91,000 miles with regular maintenance and have never had an issue. I feel like it has a lot of road noise. The trd pro did not have a sunroof as an option which I really wanted. The stock stereos on all Toyota’s have an issue with volume levels that do not reach maximum capacity for the speakers.

Audrey R on May 25, 2021

I love the air conditioned seats.

I have had my car for 2 years and absolutely love it. I have never had a problem with it. I keep maintenance on it like I should. It is very reliable and gets me where I need to go. It has leather seats and is very comfortable. It has air conditioned seats helping in the summer when it is so hot.

AMN E on May 21, 2021

Low cost maintenance, gas savings. Low mileage. Reliable.

Toyota is my favorite car. They are very reliable and gas savings. Even after 10 years, you still can trade in a reasonable price. No much maintenance you need to worry about it. As long as you are keeping annual regular check up such as oil change, tire rotate, air.

Jennifer G on May 17, 2021

Great vehicle -fits my needs.

The 4 runner has proven to be a reliable vehicle thus far. I have only encountered routine maintenance. It is a comfortable SUV and suits my needs. I enjoy the size and look of the vehicle. It is my second 4runner purchase as I was pleased with my previous model.

Nahdia P on May 12, 2021

Why I love my toyota 4runner.

Bill V on April 14, 2021

Is the Toyota 4 runner a good used SUV?: it is an excellent for adventures.

Toyota 4runner 2017 is basic compared to many other offerings. I like the way it drives, it feels solid and well built which makes me feel safe. After driving the 4 runner limited 4wd I love, love, love it. The only complaint is the gas mileage which was a shock for me coming from a Lexus gs 350 thanks for asking.

Christi H on April 13, 2021

A Toyota family for life!

Reliable, comfortable, smooth, nice looking, easy to clean, nice interior but not so nice you do not want to use it. No engine problems. Durable. I know it will last a long time with minimal problems and I know it is super safe because I have had many Toyota’s in my life. We are a Toyota family and my kids will definitely drive our Toyota’s and we will buy newer ones and I will not worry about my child be stranded because they are such reliable vehicles. Our Toyota’s are also trendy looking and a great buy for the price!

Ta D on April 12, 2021

Forerunner that I love so much.

My vehicle is wonderful. It performs really well on mountainous terrains. It goes great in the snow. It has good gas mileage and rides well. I have been pleasantly happy at all the happiness that my forerunner has given. I hope to purchase another when I decide to get another vehicle. I think I will have this one many more years.

Matthew S on April 2, 2021

Lasting quality with excellent performance.

Jason B on April 1, 2021

Toyota 4runner a fun SUV! Feel of a jeep with the reliability of a Toyota!

I love the 4runner. We have had this car for over a year and we have had 0 problems. The car is sporty and is fun to drive. I love the sunroof and rolling down the back glass. It almost gives you a jeep feel with windows down, sunroof open and lift gate glass down. I am also a big fan of the sound system. The cars sound system is really good.

Megan C on March 29, 2021

Easy family driving vehicle.

We love our 4runner. It provides enough space for our family of three and soon family of four. We have taken it on three cross country road trips and the storage space for luggage was more than adequate. The amount of controls/gadgets is just plenty. Everything inside is easy to understand and operate. My only flaw with the vehicle is the gas mileage. At times we get 24 miles per gallon and other times we only get 18 miles per gallon. Otherwise I would highly recommend purchasing this vehicle.

Kimberly D on March 23, 2021

It is the best SUV for all of your family needs.

I love how it rides, the space, everything about it. Its a limited and it does not have an automatic back door opener button.

Mike R on March 22, 2021

I like its design and comfort. I really recommend it

I like my vehicle since I bought it, I have not had any problem, excellent performance on the road. I love

Ashley A on March 21, 2021

Best family vehicle and even room for the four legged babies in your life!

Very spacious and comfortable. Love the Versatility of having an optional third row seating. Drives smooth and very reliable! The front panel screen is large enough to see when navigating and changing tunes.

Olive C on March 21, 2021

I really like the look of the car.

This car can handle anything and feels luxurious. My 4runner gets pretty good gas mileage considering it is size. I love it!

Nicole H on March 17, 2021

Great vehicle, great family car.

Great car! Upgraded from a jeep grand Cherokee and this vehicle is so much better. The third row is an extra bonus. Only thing I wish there was an ac vent for the third row vent. Easy to insert the car seats, rides very smooth. I also wish I would've sprung for the running boards but that is an easy add on. 10/10 recommend to anyone in the market.

Angelica R on March 17, 2021

Very roomy for all my family but not too big to make it hard to drive . Looks sporty. Has good off road ability.

My vehicle is very reliable, has room for all my family . Easy to drive. Love the style . Very sporty!

Barbara l A on March 16, 2021

If you are faithful to Toyota and the design the 4runner is the truck you want.

Love the design of the car but the back seats are not comfortable when you go on a long trip road and needs a newer design from the inside because every single model looks the same, I love that you feel safe on the truck and I like that it has two extra seats and a large trunk.

Stephanie A on March 15, 2021

Best vehicle I have ever owned.

I love the size of the vehicle. I had a Toyota rav4 before and it was a great car but the space I needed wasn't there with that vehicle. We have been able to put a lot of things in the back for home improvements, etc.. It is much more comfortable when we go on trips with people to bring our dog and another couple, we also installed some racks for storage on the roof. It has lots of power, have had no problems with the engine or anything else, great vehicle, I will definitely get another one when the time comes.

Nikkie R on March 12, 2021

If you have more than 2 car seats. Look for something different. But if you don't and need a good vehicle for snow. This is awesome!

I love that is an SUV that handles like a truck. It is a great vehicle for the winter snow. Not great for car seats.

Joel D on February 26, 2021

The resale value is tremendous.

I love the space and versatility for a midsize SUV. The only complaint would be in relation to the fuel economy.

Emma P on February 24, 2021

Although it is not a luxury car, it is still a nice car.

I like how smoothly the engine runs compared to my other cars. Also, it is pretty quiet when it starts. The air conditioner and heating is very easy to run, which is nice.

Traci K on February 22, 2021

Safe, smooth and dependable ride.

Brian M on February 20, 2021

Great highway ride for this off road king!

Love my 2017 Toyota 4runner sr5! I'll list my favorite features. Design - the new look of the sr5 is far more sleek and elegant than it former boxy models. Drive - the ride is as smooth as in past models. In fact it is so smooth I feel like I am floating. Off road - with a high clearance and a powerful 4-wheel drive this SUV can truly go anywhere and anytime. I have had mine on muddy forest fire roads in Wisconsin and driven through 10 inches of snow and nothing poses a problem. Great ride!

Ray P on February 15, 2021

My Toyota 4runner the best!

None at all best truck ever driven it smooth and fast feel like king of the road when driving it, not afraid to drive and worry about safety I know am well protected in this truck. It is amazing line my Toyota 4runner it is great truck to own for sure! Thank you.

Annie S on February 10, 2021

Very easy to maintain, can put miles on its engine and it would fail.

Love the reliability, the way it drives, very smooth, easy to handle. Love this car. My 4runner is large enough to carry my fur kids to and from the vet, groceries from the stores. I love the way it looks, very classy, all of the new techie stuff on the car makes it safe to drive.

Kaiden A on February 9, 2021

It is the perfect car, it is luxurious, comfortable, i feel incredible in it, it makes me feel very good

It is the perfect car, it is luxurious comfortable, i feel incredible in it, it makes me feel very good

Stacey A on February 6, 2021

Durable enough to drive anywhere but also a smooth everyday ride for your family

It drives very smoothly but it has the durability to be driven on rougher terrain too. It is comfortable for my family and me. It is good in the snow. It looks sharp. Fits a lot of things.

Cathy m on February 4, 2021

Able to tow and be an off-road vehicle

I like having a powerful, safe vehicle with 4wd. Comfortable seats, touchscreen display with built-in navigation and rear-view camera. Do not like how it does not have the side mirror indicator lights for passing vehicles; does not have the greatest gas mileage.

Alynn Q on January 29, 2021

Very good car. I will highly recommend it especially for families.

My car is a Toyota 4runner. I really love it because of how its build. I have issues with my eyes but since I have a 4runner I don't get blinded by another car on the other side of the road. It's so nice to drive a 4runner and also the gas is reasonable. I have a third row sorter which makes it more nicer. I can fit seven passenger inside the car.

Noel W on January 24, 2021

It has bed gas mileage even on the highway. Get a perks card

It has the worst Mimi age. But I like that it is big and stylish.

Peter S on January 24, 2021

The most important detail are the seats

The vehicle is very compact and very diverse but it does not have any problem and it is very easy to learn

Abe H on January 22, 2021

Very comfy and spacious, but seats do not fold down far enough.

The Toyota 4runner is high off the ground and drives more similar to a truck than a car. The rear seating fits three comfortably where most cars only really have 2.5 seats. Also the seats are comfy and it has good visibility in the back. I love the space in the trunk but wish the seats would fully fold down.

Kolby S on January 17, 2021

Best SUV your money can buy.

I have very few complaints about my vehicle. I walk outside my house everyday and a smile hits my face when I have to drive it to work. It is very large and spacious and there is not a lot of gadgets in the vehicle that could go bad after many years of use. It is a body on frame SUV and not many car companies are building SUVs like that anymore. The only real drawback for my vehicle is that it does not have great gas mileage. It is durable and the engine really makes the vehicle haul.

Judy G on January 14, 2021

Dependable & easy to drive.

It is a very dependable vehicle with all wheel and 4 wheel drive. I sit up high in the seat and it is easy for me to see instead of being low to the ground. It is easy to handle and easy to drive. It is good in the ice and snow. Has substantial weight to drive in the windy area where I live,

RP P on January 11, 2021

Toyota a perfect balance between luxury and 4x4 power for job.

Good relation between comfort and durability, easy maintenance, a powerful car with simple and easy mechanics, serves family and work purposes, I like the finishing and the guarantee as well as the amount of brands that support the brand. My car also saves in fuel and gives me confidence on the road.

Samantha S on January 11, 2021

T-force package sr5 4runner has an edgy look that people will drool over.

My 2017 4runner sr5 has the t-force package. The running boards & luggage rack gives it an edgy look that separates it from looking just like another 4runner. . It's spacious with a lot of leg room.Very comfortable ride. I traveled over 500 miles within weekend and was comfortable the whole time. . I love the simplicity of the sr5. I do not need all the bells and whistles. The only thing I wished it had was an autostarter during the winter.

Heidi J on January 9, 2021

The best vehicle I have ever owned.

My 4runner is my favorite vehicle I have ever owned. It gets around in the snow and on long trips is a nice ride. I have enjoyed a SUV and with my 4runner it is nice that I sit up higher and since I typically am in the car by myself I do not feel like it is too big.

Krista S on December 24, 2020

Love my 4runner - great SUV!

I love it, although I am currently waiting a new vehicle order to come in but only because I wanted something bigger. I love Toyota because of their safety ratings. The vehicle is mid range price but looks just as nice as a luxury vehicle in my opinion.

The 4wd and additional controls make this perfect for winter in the mountains.

I love the space in my 4runner! I set out really wanting a truck, but this is the perfect car for our family. Spectacular reliability and low maintenance. I also love that Toyota makes dependable long lasting vehicles that hold their value. We will have this car for a long time.

Toyota 4runner is the best car.

It sells itself and has a 5th generation history, could use a little more power/torque, and a power liftgate, auto start. I would suggest buy the 4wd to feel better about this great vehicle. This is a solid real SUV, nothing fake here. Fun to drive with a feeling of top quality and service.

Great outdoor vehicle and pet friendly. Don't like the cloth seats and seems cheap on the inside of the vehicle for how much it costs.

It's a very reliable car and can do just about anything in any weather.

It is a very well rounded car for work, off roading, casual driving.

I have really enjoyed driving a 4runner. I have not had many problems with this car. It drives very nice and performs off road well. I enjoy the storage space and towing capacity. It is kind of simple when it comes to technology. It does not have automatic lights and the touch screen is not the best. On my particular model, I did have to replace some part of the brake system. However, I would still recommend this type of car.

I love my 4runner more than the Audi.

I love the size. No travel worries we have way more room. I love the seats fold down to store bikes or fishing rods. I think it is good on gas and I like it does not need premium gas. I like the moonroof and the rear window. I also love the large compartments.

My beach ride through the summer.

I love the durability, safety, gas mileage, the interior & the way it drives. Roomy, comfortable, good for road trips with the family. The sunroof & back window option to open for fishing poles or for the kids to enjoy the breeze during the spring & fall season. It is also great for the beach.
