2010 Toyota 4Runner

My favorite vehicle ever!

By Ann (TX) on Saturday, May 11, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 7,400

Pros: "Comfortable, good gas mileage, not too pricey"

Cons: "I have no complaints about this vehicle."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I have owned 3 SUV's - first a Sequoia, then a Highlander, and now a 4RUNNER. I enjoyed the Sequoia for its comfort and roominess, but it was a little too large for my needs. I got a Highlander, which drives like a car. I felt like I was sitting too low after being used to the Sequoia. I traded the Highlander for a 4Runner, and I love it. It is just the perfect size SUV for me."

Initial Impressions

By Rich (KY) on Thursday, May 09, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 400

Pros: "Build quality, heavy duty engineering and build."

Cons: "No unexpected downside at all."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I've only had this vehicle for one week... traded a Highlander Hybrid. Admittedly, the Highlander handled better and was more nimble. But the 4Runner is a much more solid vehicle and I have no doubt it will take more punishment. I'm averaging 21.5 MPG on the highway, and about 20 mixed highway/city. No way I can speak to the reliability of this vehicle -- will update later. One unexpected bonus with the 4Runner: Very good rear window visibility, which seems to be a thing of the past with other vehicles. Even though the 4Runner has a rear camera, I still get comfort knowing I can pilot in reverse through the back window in confidence. Great build quality -- everything seems heavy-duty."

Toyota Owner For Life

By RyGuy75 (MD) on Wednesday, May 01, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 113,000

Pros: "Built to last, Smooth Ride."

Cons: "None."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I have a 2005 SR5 4Runner, I have 113k miles on it and its still in immaculate condition. I cant imagine ever driving anything but a Toyota. We have a lot of Toyota's in my family. Just added a 2013 Rav4 to my household as well. Love that too. The quality of Toyota is hands down the best in the industry. They are built like tanks and go and go. I have never had any issues with my 4Runner what so ever, Just the routing maintenance. I highly recommend the 4Runner. The power of the V6 is incredible with an average of 23 MPG on the highway. Cant beat it."

TOYOTA DID IT AGAIN

By jj (NY) on Wednesday, May 01, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 15,000

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I HAVE OWNED OR LEASED ALMOST EVERY TRUCK IN THIS CATAGORY AND NONE COME CLOSE TO THE 4 RUNNER. MY FIRST 4X4 WAS A 4 RUNNER BACK IN THE LATE 80'S AND IT WAS THE BEST THEN AND IS STILL THE BEST."

Daily driver and trail warrior

By ConnerMan (MA) on Tuesday, April 09, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 42,000

Pros: "Rugged, reliable, good v6, genuine off road chops"

Cons: "paint, some interior plastics, no locking gas cap"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"If you are looking for something rugged, reliable, off-road capable yet a pleasant commuter than this is a good bet. I have the trail edition and it is aptly named. Can keep up with a jeep rubicon unlimited in most situations but drives far better when back on the pavement. V6 is designed for trucks, compared to almost all competitors with V6s designed for cars. Results in better low end torque. Fuel economy is decent given 9.6 inches of ground clearance, non all-season tires, and 4750lb curb weight. No problems after 41k miles, must of which driven in the harsh environments of northern Vermont. There are some downsides, namely: Paint chips/scratches easily Not as quiet as some competitors Hard plastics found in some of the less common touch points Gas cap doesn't lock (4th gen did!) If you can live with those, and want a real truck instead of a car based crossover, this is a great choice. Its also one of the last ones left!"

Very Dissapointed

By JINSWAZ (AZ) on Wednesday, April 03, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 2,000

Pros: "Resale value"

Cons: "Very poor MPG, Poor acceleration, cheap Paint"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"This 2013 Toyota 4Runner is a huge dissapointment. I only have 2,000 miles on it and will be trading it in now only after having it five weeks. I'm only averaging 16.1 MPG average. The steering ratio isn't as good as the older 4Runners such as 2004. The vehicle really leans to the side when turning on curved roads. There are some cabin noises which are annoying that tend to increase as i continue driving it. The paint scratches easier than my 2004 4Runner. The power in this engene isn't enough since this vehicle already weighs more than 4,700 pounds. It requires too much work to get enough power to pass someone when needed. Very disappointed with the horrible steering ratio, very poor MPG, and lack of horse power/torque. Out of a scale of 1 to 10 I would only rate the 2013 4Runner a 3."
