2012 Toyota4Runner For Sale

This is a highly under rated vehicle. We love it. We owned a 2004 4Runner prior to purchasing this. The reliability on the 4Runners (at least for us) has been great. Vehicle is on a truck frame so the ride is little different than a crossover but it is not an issue to us at all. We love that the rear window goes up and down. Controls are easy. The one thing, the 4WD selector is in a weird place, right next to the front cup holder. I think a better place would have been next to heat controls, more out of the way. Head room with sun roof is a about 1" less than our older model, but so far not an issue. Backup camera is nice to have. Engine has plenty of power. We have noticed the mileage is 1-2 MPG lower than our old model and whats rated but we live in a very cold climate and maybe it needs to be broke in also. We are seeing 19 MPG HWY & 16-17 average. Not sure we will monitor and see what changes come summer. Seats are comfortable, ride for us is quiet. View area is clear, A-pillars are not overly obstructive.

Had a Grand Cherokee (Limited) and several recalls with so/so reviews later I decided to try the 4Runner. Love it! Fits like a glove, I'm only 5'5" so that's really important to me. Can see out of it easily with great visibility. No worries about reliability or excess tech going wonky. Smooth on paved roads and amazing on trails and off road. Yes it's not as "smooth" as a crossover but it is not based on a car platform. It has more than enough power and the engine isn't taxed like most 4 cylinders either. It will hold it's value better than any of them as well. All and all totally satisfied with the TRD Off Road 4Runner!

Let me be quick and to the point. After 7 years on the road and 100k miles, this vehicle is still running like it was when it was brand new. Reliability, old school styling, 4 wheel drive capability, easy to use oversized controls, and amazing resale value are just some of the higher positive points to this vehicle. Cons are still the same as my old review with a few more cosmetic complaints. I take care of my vehicles to the extreme, but still have found that this model along with most models from Toyota seem to scratch and chip paint easier than other brands. Rear window motor rusted out after 5.5 years, which dealer said is very common with these models. Braking and cornering are lackluster; definitely not made for City driving. Under powered when towing or on highways compared to numerous other large SUV's or mide-size trucks. Gas mileage still very bad and getting a little worse after years of use. 13-15 mpg in the Northeastern winter months and about 17-19 mpg in the summer months. Overall, with my driving and ownership experience, I still highly recommend the 4 Runner. I love that I can pretty much take this thing anywhere and that it is still one of the most reliable vehicle models in the world. For me, nothing beats reliability and resale value.
