The 4Runner exudes quality; the Japanese still hammer us Americans and our domestic vehicles.
Least favorite feature:
High step in and running boards don't really help with ingress or egress.
Advice to buyer:
Rent one for a few days before you buy and you will be sold like I was.
Detailed review:
Recently rented a 4Runner while visiting Arizona(rented in Phoenix, drove to Grand Canyon for 3 day visit). This was my first experience with a 4 Runner; I have always been an Explorer owner. I was very impressed by the quality of the 4Runner. Excellent ride for a truck based SUV, very good noise suppression, good acceleration from the standard V6, even at altitude. Great interior. My wife loved this vehicle also. Next purchase will definitely be a 4Runner.
