Best SUV for the money 2003 Limited 4X4Source: Cars.com...I would never buy another suv. Handles well, tow's my 20' boat with ease. Great in snow full time four wheel drive system works great. Great vehicle for everyday use, I have 90,000 miles now, just did the major tune up and other than brakes nothing on this vehicle has broken. Take it off roading about once a month, has never gotten stuck. Only downside is gas mileage i have the V8 and average about 13mpg city and 17mpg highway. I will trade this one in for another one when Toyota comes out with the next generation 4Runner. You can buy a less expensive suv but you will pay for it in the long... |

3rd 4Runner V6 4x4Source: Cars.com...I run a radar detector and cell phone and have to use an adapter. There needs to be one in the back seat to assist with the kids' stuff (DVD Player / Hand held video games)The buttons to control the heat & AC are terrible! You have to take your eyes off the road to make a temp change or fan speed change.The controls for the windows are too low on the door - I prefer the earlier design.Cup holders in the rear doors are a waste. The only thing they can hold is a bottled water. Any more than that is a mess in the making.I will continue to purchase Toyota's based on their reliability, performance... |

Great All-Purpose VehicleSource: Cars.com
..."Toyota trucks are notoriously tough. Just watch TopGear and see how they tried to kill a Toyo pickup (and failed, even though the body was shot). |

Why should I also consider these?
Compared to the 4Runner, the Chevrolet TrailBlazer (and the nearly identical GMC Envoy) feel sorely outdated, as those models lack the refinement of the 4Runner; the 4Runner also handles much more confidently than these GM vehicles and is safer.
The Durango is another potential alternative; it boasts impressive towing ability, but it’s not as off-road-focused as the 4Runner.
The Ford Explorer now includes a full range of safety features, handles well, and is quite comfortable inside, but it doesn’t offer the off-road hardiness possible in the 4Runner.
The Nissan Pathfinder is the closest match to the 2008 Toyota 4Runner; it has an interior that trumps the Toyota's in appearance, while coming in at a lower price.
The Nissan handles well, like the 4Runner, and its base V-6 engine is especially strong, yet efficient.
Against any of these vehicles, though, the 4Runner has the advantage of especially strong resale value and a long-established reputation for reliability and durability.
