We've updated our reliability stats for the 4Runner to include owner experiences through December 31, 2013.
Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2008 4Runner: 25, low, small sample size
2007 4Runner: 32, low
2006 4Runner: 56, moderate
2005 4Runner: 22, low
2004 4Runner: 38, low
2003 4Runner: 18, low, small sample size
2000 4Runner: 66, low, small sample size
1999 4Runner: 64, low, small sample size
We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds", to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:
2007 4Runner: 72, < 1
2005 4Runner: 83, < 1
We'll have further updates in May and in August. The more owners participate, the more comprehensive and precise these will be.
