Toyota 4Runner Reliability through December 31, 2012

An asterisk (*) marks results based on small sample sizes.

General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.

Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.

New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD w/low range		 Like the new body style and ride, very smooth for a truck. Gas mileage with the new 6 seems to be very good for such a large truck so far. The seating is spacious and the hvac works well for such a large seating area. The features on the limited exceed

5-speed automatic AWD w/low range		 Toyota reputation, expect to own this vehicle for 10 or more years (200,000 miles)
2007 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 No repairs for 2 years.
2007 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 4.7L V8
5-speed automatic AWD w/low range		 brand proven reliability
2007 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 Strong reputation for reliability gives confidence for long, out-of-way, and off- highway travels
2007 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 Most Toyotas these days go 200k+ miles.
2007 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 This thing is over-the-top-reliable. I take it off-road, slam the under-belly on to rocks, bull it over large stones like a Hummer, pull over 10,000 lbs for drives well over 2 hours (it stinks of sulfer on the hills but...) - only in shop for oil/brakes.
2007 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 Other than sticking calipers (common problem), the 4Runner was trouble-free for me.
2006 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 2nd 4runner. Had no issues with the first at 189,000 miles. Feel safe taking this car out in the sticks, and down the highway

5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 i see many old model 4runners on the road, shows they are made to last
2006 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 Excellent reliablility reputation. My girlfriend has a Camry (I think all of those parts must be made in China - just awful). The 4Runner parts are heavier duty and stronger parts. However, at 45,000 miles all four shocks needed to be replaced.
2006 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 4.7L V8
5-speed automatic AWD w/low range		 Sooooo many older ones are still on the road and kept in really good condition.
2005 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 You can beat it up really good off road and it still is smooth as silk when you hit the pavement.

5-speed automatic AWD w/low range		 This is a solid "truck" with a great history of durability and reliability.

5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 Overall this vehicle has proven to be reliable over many miles.
2004 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 4.0L V6
4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 No unscheduled maintenance (or warranty work) in six years of ownership and over 60k miles. The thing just keeps ticking and never misses a beat.

2004 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 4.0L V6
4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 There is limit to good - nothing ever goes wrong. There is no limit to bad - ask any ford man.
2003 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8
5-speed automatic AWD w/low range		 Bought it with 95K and already at 115K miles with only general maintanence (oil, timing, tune up etc)
2003 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8
5-speed automatic AWD w/low range		 This car has been with us for close to 6 years 170,000kms and has had NO problems. Pulls horse trailer, drives into and out of BC snow storms, carries kids and a lot of junk and NOTHING breaks.
2003 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 4.0L V6
4-speed automatic RWD		 Toyota continues to make some of the most reliable vehicles. I am actually thinking about buying another.
2003 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8
5-speed automatic RWD		 havnt had any mechanical problems in 5 years
Reliability and Durability of the Toyota 4Runner: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2003 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8
5-speed automatic RWD		 I seemed to have a lemon, with many electrical problems over the 7 years. Door lock actuators broke 8 times (for 4 doors), an AC sensor forced a new compressor, I replaced the AC control panel, I replaced the AC clutch relay and had other such problems.
