2002 Toyota 4Runner

Pros: overall performance, eye appeal

Cons: not so smooth riding,

The Bottom Line: Recommend? Definitely. I wanted a sleek, youthful, dependable, and smart vehicle, with power and eye appeal…all features I believe I obtained.

Review: Mechanical performance, safety, a sleek exterior, comfort and convenience; all features found in the 2002 Toyota 4 Runner.
Before settle ling on the 4Runner, I researched, viewed, and test-drove a good number of other SUVs, everything from Chevy...

Pros: Real tough 4x4, plush interior, great looks, great power

Cons: Suspension a little hard, not the highest gas mileage(12-16 mpg)

The Bottom Line: A great vehicle for someone who needs to haul people or someone who needs a great SUV.

Review: The Toyota 4 Runner, where to start, the exterior, the exterior is very well designed and stylish, the lines are great and it just looks excellent. The interior looks just as good as the exterior, it is plush and futuristic with many neat options, the...

Pros: High quality SUV with respectable road manners.

Cons: Toyota pricing games at the dealership make you go, "Buh?"

The Bottom Line: This is a slam dunk SUV. Don't think for a minute that this won't deliver the goods. Highly capable and high dollar value.

Review: We bought our 4RNR about a month ago in Texas. My wife was interesteed in the Acura MDX ($$$) and Nissan Pathfinder. Others were considered but rejected out of hand for a myriad of reasons. We liked the 4RNR ride quality compared to the Pathfinder...

Pros: rugged, cargo room, higher off than ground, good 4 my family!

Cons: Mileage, interior lighting is a little dim.

Review: The 4runner has been great for me and my family. It handles great, has skid control, and is rugged. Sure the milage isn't fabulous compared to a compact car but for an suv its a little better than what I expected. This is the last year of the classic ...

Pros: Classic design--inside and out. Un-equalled reliability. Tough super 4X4 built on a truck frame.

Cons: Stiff ride because it is built on a truck frame...inside lighting could be better.

Review: I have always like the 4Runner, but never had a good reason to buy one. Moving to Colorado became a good reason. I specifically chose the 2002 model because I knew Toyota was going to redesign the 2003...my confirmed fear was that the classic 4Runner wa ...

Pros: Killer looks, great interior, adequate power and the best part: unbeatable reliability!

Cons: Somewhat rough ride, high step in height, wind noise.

Review: After a horrible experience with a Chevy S10 Blazer that was always in the shop, I needed something more reliable. That's what I've found in the 4Runner! Now with almost 40K miles, the only thing done was a new set of tires. Gas mileage is acceptable ...

Pros: Looks great, handles well,Good looking interior, The height feels safe

Cons: Wind noise, touchy brakes, SR5 is a little plain

Review: As a female 16 year old new driver it may seem odd to see me in my "runner" as I have named it. But I do love it. I thought I wanted a Celica and then I drove a 4Runner. Being up so much higher than the Celica made me feel much safer. Plus the 4Runner ...

Pros: Sound system, ride, handling

Cons: Gas Mileage

Review: I bought a 2000 4runner and it is for the most part a terrific car. I have over 100 thousand miles on it and have had only minor tune-ups to the car. It rides and handles smoothly, and its engine roars with the power of a thousand herds of buffalo. The ...

Pros: Handling, responsiveness, true off-road capability, great style, Toyota dependability, aftermarket extras abound

Cons: Cramped cockpit, no manual transmission option, touchy brakes (they work, just a little too well)

Review: I bought my 2002 4Runner right when the '03's came out, for pretty close to the same price. The reason was that I really liked the 02 body, and the revamped 03s, with all that plastic and two-toning, completely turned me off. The lines are distinct and ...

Pros: Reliability, high visiblilty, great engine

Cons: oil filter placement.

Review: This is without a doubt the best vehicle I have ever owned. So far no problems at all. It does ride rough, but it is a truck. I dont think it rides bad. I wouldnt call it an suv. I did the air box mod and use an Amsoil air filter and get about 22 miles a ...
