Other than maintenance which is tedious when the vehicle approaches the 100k mark, it is a great vehicle. The winter drives in Alaska are no problem for this vehicle. Its stability control during adverse weather conditions is fantastic. I bought this model used and like style better than the newer models.

4Runner
Great vehicle! I just bought my wife a brand new 4Runner and then I inherited her old ‘04 4Runner. The 4.0 eng is bulletproof. Reliable! Low maintenance. Enough power for this size vehicle and reasonable towing weight. I’ve owned over 60+ vehicles over the years (foreign and domestic) and wouldn’t own anything else in this vehicle category.

Total quality.
The 4 Runner is undoubtedly the best vehicle I have ever owned. Many of my friends have owned a 4 Runner as well and they too have throughly enjoyed it. Toyota has been consistently one of the best manufactures of quality vehicles.

The best - would never sell it.
Power is excellent and have never had any problems with it other than periodic maintenance. I've had it 16 years and it has 170,000 miles - still runs like when I bought it. It's the V-6 model (as opposed to the upgraded V-8), but is still very powerful. I pulled a 12 foot enclosed trailer full of my daughter's apartment furnishings from San Diego to Sacramento and it had no problems with it.

Best vehicle I have owned
Absolutely love this SUV. Extremely reliable and will buy another without hesitation. Used to live in the mountains and it did well in the snow although not a 4wheel drive. Handles well in the monsoons in AZ.

Over 200,000 miles and going strong
Been driving this car for 15 years, still running very well with some regular minor maint, plan on another 100,000 or more. No sense in going into debt for a new car when this is serving me so well. Someday in the future I’ll buy another 4-Runner!

This has been the best vehicle I have ever owned. I would highly recommend this vehicle. This vehicle handles very well, is great in the snow and very good off road. The vehicle is comfortable to drive and you would never think that the platform for this vehicle is actually truck based.

4Runner
I love my 4Runner. I bought it new 15 years ago. Have had nothing but normal maintenance on the car as it has never had any major problems. Sensors are the problem now but its to be expected on a 15 yr old car. Want to keep this vehicle until the wheels fall off, which I doubt will ever happen.

First Toyota I have owned. Never expected to own a car this long, most reliable ever. It's comfortable both front and back seat and I can haul most everything in the cargo area with the seat backs down. Sure couldn't do that with my sports cars!

With 186,000 miles my 4Runner still drives and runs like new. Have only had the normal routine maintenance and recommended parts replacement issues. You can't beat Toyota's Quality! That's probably why we own 3.

2004 Toyota 4 Runner
Toyota makes the strongest, and most reliable, and durable vehicles on the planet, their SUVs and trucks are basically civilian tanks. They put all of their competitors to shame, and they will last forever if you take care of them. They are pretty affordable and they hold their value! While cars of other brands start looking old when they get over 10 years old, a 15 year old Toyota feels like a 3 year old car. I will never buy anything else, and I encourage anybody that doesn't want to spend all of their hard earned money on constant vehicle repairs to buy a Toyota ASAP! You will not regret it!

I love my 4Runner!
My 2004 4Runner V8 Sport Edition has 171K miles, and it still drives perfectly. I keep up with maintenance, and I'm sure it will keep running strong for many years to come. I still think it is one of the best looking vehicles on the road, too. It is my favorite body style for the 4Runner. It's very practical, and the perfect vehicle for me.
