Toyota's Finest

Having owned two 4-Runners (the first a 96, 4 cylinder, 5 speed) and my current 2002, I can truthfully say that they are right up there in quality and durability with my Mercedes Benz diesel and POrsche 912 (the "real" 912). My 2002 is absolutely bullet proof, having never suffered any sort of mechanical problem in the 139,000+ miles I have driven it. I bought it as a Certified Used vehicle with 44,000 miles on it and it has taken me everywhere - rough 4 wheel trails, snow and ice covered roads, mountain passes of 11,000 ft. and through it all, been a thoroughly safe and dependable vehicle. I have no plans to trade it in and hope to drive it for the duration.

One of the three best vehicles I have owned

Simply put, my 2002 4-Runner is a very special vehicle. It is sure-footed in all winter conditions, travels tough 4WD roads during summer outings with aplomb and is utterly reliable. I feel comfortable and secure in this 4-Runner and rate it right along with a Porsche and a Mercedes I have previously owned in quality and performance.

Most reliable vehicle ever made?

Let's see, 271k miles and all I've done it replace wear items... This vehicle is part of our family and I'll keep her forever.

my 2002 Toyota 4-Runner - that's a honey of a car....

I absolutely love my 2002 4-Runner. The older cars seem more reliable than the very newer ones. And it certainly is the case with my 4-Runner. I try to take good care of it because I'm very attached to my 4-Runner. I've been incredibly lucky... And so it is with Davies Auto Care. Basically a match made in heaven. I would never go anywhere else for car repairs and I would never want to give up my 4-Runner. It's been a honey from day one. My thinking was when I bought the car that if anyone accidently hit me, the SUV because of its size would be a hugh deterrent --- and for that I'm more than happy. The very small cars - although newer - look somewhat dangerous because they are so small. I feel safe and secure in an SUV because of it's reliability and its size. N. Nusbaum

Satisfied Owner

Brought my 4Runner new in 2002. Currently have 203K miles. I've been vigilant about maintenance upkeep and other than minor wear issues, I'm looking at another 200k miles. My mechanic, Import Authority, only indicate minor future repair from normal wear and tear. Beats a car note every time, lol.

great truck! 130,000 mile service.

Bumper-grill-light guard/roof rack- canoe carrier. 265/70/16 Goodyear Wrangler Kevlar light truck tires- color is white. Has been awesome truck- sits out, a little mossy! Guy at Newcastle Golf Club asked me if i would sell it. He has two sons wanting to take a year off from Wall Street and drive to South America from Seattle! I said "where- Peru or Chile?" He said, "no-Terra del Fuego- the very bottom!". He thought it would be the perfect ride! Wow- made me feel real good! Needless, I'm keeping it unless Toyota comes out with a similar size and style.. New ones too big and cumbersome!

Best value ever

I have 306k on the clock and it runs like new. Basic maintenance. Brakes, oil, etc. Just changed the original plugs at over 300k. I'LL drive until the wheels fall off and then buy new wheels. Can't say enough good about this truck

Best car we have ever had!

We have owned this car for 14 years. It has performed wonderfully! It now has over 200,000 miles! It is comfortable, still drives well in all conditions. It has been a great car on highway, around town and even on the beach with 4 wheel drive!

Love it

They don't make them like this anymore! Best truck I ever owned! I've had it for 16 years and it's given me nothing but joy! However the new 4runners are not appealing to me, I don't care too much for the design and they're too expensive!

02 4R 4x4 with locker

Best car ever owned. Got it brand new and have never been stuck or failed me yet. over 200,000 miles and another 300K to go! We have taken this truck all over in family road trips up mountains across desert across the country with amazing memories. Offroading is so much fun in this truck. The aftermarket mods are amazing and there is so many so the prices are great. Most parts are cheap from the dealer of aftermarket and easy to work on yourself.

Love my 4runner

Continues to be our main most trustworthy vehicle of all our vehicles. The 4runner is our best and most dependable vehicles. Gas mileage isn't comparable to other economic vehicles. The brand new 2019 4runners do not surpass the 2002 model on mpg, this remains the same.

Not the most flashy, but pretty dependable

My particular 4Runner has about 172k Miles on it and still sounds quiet while its idleling. Parts and service costs aren’t too bad with these. Highly reccomend if you’re most important quality in a car is reliability.

Second one! Stellar vehicle. 200k and running perfect! It’s an 18 year old car that I can’t wait to drive every day! Can’t wait to go camping! Small enough to park and lots of room inside. Sliding back window is phenomenal!

Report card

Reliable workhorse especially in the snow. Comfortable cabin interior even for a tall person with more than adequate leg room.Will likely outlast this senior citizen because of its' reliability. Except for regular maintenance it will exceed your expectations.
