Best Suv Out There! — The exterior looks great. Ride quality is smooth on paved roads for an SUV with a rear live axle. Handling is great with the XREAS and not top heavy for its height. The V8 is fast and has plenty of torque to pull anything. The interior design is alright with the black marble trim and leather. The 4Runner is packed with features like dual zone auto climate control, power everything, auto headlights, heated seats, adjustable ride height, and navigation system. The seats are low to the ground, but I find them comfortable. Headroom can be a little more generous, but it doesn't prevent me from loving this truck! I definitely would recommend the 4Runner to anybody. | ||

Excellent Car! — This 4Runner is in excellent condition. The engine is strong and powerful, the transmission shifts well and the power features work perfectly. More so, this SUV is well equipped with AM/FM stereo, CD player, ice cold a/c, power windows, power rear hatch window, power locks, power mirrors, cruise control, and much more! Wow! What a great SUV! Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

2005 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6 4WD Review
ProsPlenty of room. Handles great for an SUV. Has great power. I like to get up and go and it does it with no problem. I feel like my children and I are 100% safe in this car. It is still in great condition for 7 years old with two kids. It's comfortable. And very reliable. I have never had 1 problem with my car. ConsWith this economy and gas prices as they are. Gas millage hurts for the daily drive I have.

Nice Rig — I love love love my 4runner and hate to get rid of it. She has been very reliable and safe for my children and I. I can no longer afford the gas millage it gives me though. It's a very clean car, with a lot of gumption for those who like to get on it. I always have felt very safe in my car. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

2005 Toyota 4Runner Sport Edition V6 4WD Review
ProsLooks and fuel economy. ConsTerrible anti-slip traction control and stability warning far to touchy. If the traction control system even thought the car might slipspin a tire it would take over and ALL control of the gas pedal was GONE! This nearly caused me to be in a number of accidents while entering traffic from a stop sign and other areas. I could get stuck in front of my own house on level ground with 1" of snow on the ground (with new traction tires on the car)! Terrible System!!! I took this to the Toyota dealer many times and spent over four thousand dollars in their attempts to make it right and ultimately told me that everything was working at manufacturers specs. I will sell this and never buy another! (That is after driving Toyota's for 30 years).

2005 Toyota 4Runner Sport Edition V6 4WD Review
ProsToyota reliability, this is my 3rd 4Runner since 2002, and definitely the best so far. The list of standard safety features is not matched by any other SUV in its class, standard Downhill Assent Control (DAC)- against every driving instinct one has on a steep downgrade and using brakes, you hit DAC and put it in NEUTRAL; automatic braking to keep from spinning out and not exceeding 5mph. Hill Assent Control- keeps you in place and not rolling back on hill w/o having to keep foot on brake. The Sport Suspension, called XREAS, is cross linked front tire to opposite rear tire and in event tire starts to leave ground pressure is taken from linked tire to push down. The only other SUV that has something similar is the Ford Explorer w/ RSC, but it's $1k option. Crashes well............$12k accident w/ DUI driver and walked away w/o a scratch. 4Runners hold their value so well mine was rebuilt, almost as good as factory, but not quite! ConsMPG is so so, back seat is not the roomiest, no more than 2 adults or cramped, maintenance is a bit pricey, but with 4wd to be expected

2005 Sport Edition 4wd — Dislike emissions system, esp O2 and Air/Fuel Ratio sensors. Mine went to dealer 5 times before, I, figured out what diagnostics could not. When those sensors go bad it disables vehicle stability control, skid control, and suspension cannot work properly. Both CATS replaced under warranty at $1800 each, problematic in 4.0L 4Runners. The V8 is much more fun, had in my 2003 4Runner and mpg too close to notice! Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

2005 Sport Edition — This is 4Runner number 3 for me, so that should tell you I love them. I am so happy she is mine free and clear. Her name is Kaimera, which means Ice Ship or Protector, she is definitely the second. 4Runners are built for safety, I know first hand after a $15800 accident I walked away from w/o a scratch. She was not totaled, but fixed. The emissions on this 4Runner is troublesome! Was to dealer 5 times for unknown problem, I had to find other owners online to see the O2 sensors and Air/Fuel Ratio Sensors act up you lose Vehicle Stability Control, Skid control, and big loss of power and mpg! Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

4runner - Suv Of The Year — Lack a bit on the Breaking. seems like the brake are not good enough for the cars power. Great and stylish look. Very low cost of ownership. No need to go into details about the quality associated with a TOYOTA. GREAT SUV. No wonder it's the most sold SUV in its category! Primary Use: Commuting to work |
