They don’t make them anymore and are very rugged durable for outdoor fun. If you don’t care about gas mileage and limited visibility from the inside was the only downside.

One of the most reliable vehicle’s Toyota has made. The durability and off road package is what stands out for me.

Performance: Couldn't ask for better acceleration for a 4300 lb box on wheels. It's got the same V-6 as the base 4Runner, but variable valve timing for smoother, more responsive power. Braking and handling are, again, good for its size and shape. Off-road performance is stellar- I've driven tons of Jeeps, a hand-full of Land Rovers, and one Hummer H3, and it will go places (and get out of places) none of the rest could. Beefier tires and 4x4 helps. Build Quality: It's a Toyota SUV. Appearance: judge for yourself. I like it, some of my friends won't be seen in it. It doesn't look like anything else on the road. Blind spots took a lot of getting used to. Interior is no more or less than anybody needs. No leather heated seats or sunroof, and a cramped back seat, but great head room and driver/front passenger comfort. Water-resistant washable floor and cloth seats. NO MAP LIGHTS!! WHAT??? Cost of ownership: On my best tank, i've gotten 22mpg. The worst has been 16 mpg. Premium fuel will get an extra mile or two per gallon for most drivers. I used synthetic oil at 15K miles, and it was $60 for me to do it in my driveway with a K&N filter. Dino oil changes with a Fram filter are free at the dealership for 3 years for me. This car is a blast to drive off-road, and a tolerable road vehicle as SUV's go.

Really like everything about this vehicles features. Has just enough tech to be convenient but not so much you dont know how to work everything. Water resistant seats and rubber floors make for easy cleaning They are a little over priced cause they didnt make a lot of them and they are getting older and higher mileage. Watch for rust on the frames, especially from norther vehicles. I would probably compare it to a jeep but I feel the Toyota has better quality and longevity.

I love driving and customizing this car. It has a commanding presence and people notice it. I've been on many trips where I've been stopped by a stranger at a gas station to talk about my car. This is not a car for shy people.
