What a Test Drive on My New 4Runner! I just finished a 6,500 mile journey in my new 2010 4Runner SR5 ... it took 18 days and traversed 14 states. From Texas north to Wyoming and Montana, west over to Washington, down through Oregon and North California. Then back east over I-80 through Nevada...

I know there are already some pics from the Texas State Fair posted, but I'll add the ones I shot on 9/30/09 anyway...their quality isn't great, thanks to my less-than-perfect :AK47: camera phone. I apologize in advance! If you care to take a look, they are posted at...

I may have missed it in the new posts about the new 4Runner... where is the 5thGen being assembled? The reliability of my 2003 4Runner remains superb, even at 120,000 miles...I like the new model, but want to make sure the reliability remains. Just got off the road last week from a 4,600 mile...

r32 - thanks for your work in finding that, even coloring it, and posting it! a big help for sure...thanks!!

I've had a great journey with my 03Runner...no maintenance issues, or flat tires. I'm heading on a long road trip out west shortly, and reread the procedure for changing a flat with the standard-Toyota-supplied jack. But the exact location of the jacking points is unclear to me. Does anyone...

what if people think you are driving a Suziki, or a Kia??

looks ok in the driveway, but get it out on the road and let it "Run", what it was designed to do!! the dirt will do it good, and make it look better!

nice...now get 'er out on some mountain trail and see what it can really do, what it's really built for...the dirt!! congrats!!!

sumthin ain't right, for sure! I've got over 70,000 miles on my 03 Runner (in less than 3 years of ownership), a combination of low-speed street miles, high-speed cross-country Interstate, and off-roading...not a single complaint yet....Get yours checked

We had another great opportunity to visit the west again recently, our 4th trip into this magnificent area in the 4Runner. This one was less mileage than the one in 2004

Very nice machine! You are lucky to have such an incredible truck of the past...I see very few of those these days in such a great condition as yours. Enjoy it, and appreciate it!

We decided, for a variety of family reasons, including support of those in our family greater than 90 years of age, to evacuate prior to Katrina, from Baton Rouge Louisiana to Arkansas, on August 28. We returned to safety today, September 3. Our evacuation was a minor inconvenience compared to...

Fine looking vehicle...I love those 4Rs from that era!!!

I've gave Google Earth quite a workout after it came out last month...it's very well done...being able to "fly" from Death Valley to say, Virginia Beach, is neat. Or to be able to fly down the Florida west coast at 3000' feet, from Tampa to Sanibel and beyond...just amazing!

Pay the price, and be glad you can at least buy the expensive stuff, if you want to. Being an ole guy, I remember the "gas shortage" of 1976, gas lines into the streets, able to buy gas only on even or odd days, outrageous prices, etc. what a hassle! Like I say, at least today it's available...
