Anyone owned one? Likes, dislikes, things you wish you realized before you bought it?

My wife has had a couple over the last 10 years. All were limited 4wd models. Best truck she ever owned. Neither one ever went back to dealer for repair. Very trouble free. Rides well for a truck based SUV. No complaints and will buy another. I do wish they would offer a power back lift gate.

My wife is still driving her 2008. 120,000 miles and runs like a champ. Gets 22 mpg and all we have done to it is a battery and tires along with regular maintenance.

I bought one for my son. They dont fare well against mailboxes or fence gates. I should have bought something that was armored like in MadMax or something.
Other than that, pretty good.

My wife had a 2005 4Runner years ago with the V6 that was an awesome vehicle. Now she has the Lexus GX460 which is built on the 4Runner frame, with the V8 and all wheel drive. You cant go wrong with the 4Runner.

My wife has a 2011 that has never been in for a repair, only put on a set of tires and a battery. I am driving her previous 2003 one and am getting ready to put breaks on it for the first time. Have put 3 sets of tires and two batteries. The dash on the 03 got gummy but Toyota replaced it free of charge. All are the V-6 and get around 22 on the highway and 19 around town. Needless to say when she wants a new on it will be another 4Runner. By the way I am pulling a Champion 188 DCX with the 2003 and get around 12 MPG. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/04/full-66201-8909-boat.jpg)

Toyota, can't beat them for dependability. Never had the 4Runner but on my 3rd Tacoma. I've owned 10 Toyotas in my lifetime. Most dependable thing on the road mechanically.
Downside to the 4Runner to me is overall cost. Toyota Motor Corp is proud of 'em.

We had a 2004 until 2010, traded it in a bought a 2010 4 runner, still have it and at 170000 miles still a very solid vehicle.
In 2015 we bought a new Tahoe, our next vehicle will a Toyota--
I'm sorry Toyota, Please forgive me, I want to come back to you!
What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

I've got an '04. and have had endless problems with the engine. Cyl 5 misfires. Seems to be an issue related to that year.
