Pros: What do you like about 2006 Toyota 4Runner?
I just bought a 4x4 limited V8 w/ GPS & rear entertainment system. The CAR drives like a charm. I love sitting in my leather bucket seat, putting my right hand out, like playing a piano, touching the dashboard, the console that houses the GPS & 4 disk changer CD player, how I love to look around the entire interior and suck in that new smell of the fine leather that gracefully covers my 4Runner's interior. The sound system makes me feel like I'm sitting in my big chair in my living room, listening to Electric Light Orchestra singing" Can't get it out of my head," and when I take my car out on the road, I love the feeling of power and safety that it provides. I owned a 1994 4Runner before and kept it for 10 years because it was so reliable. But the 2007 4Runner V8 limited version is 100 times better than my old one. I will take this vehicle w/ me to the end of my days on this good earth of ours.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Toyota 4Runner?
Is there a way to lower our gas price by %50?

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Toyota 4Runner?
Feels very comfortable. Excellent acceleration with v8.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Toyota 4Runner?
Need guages that work. Need a mileage guage that can be reset at will. Would like a gas mileage guage while driving the car (my 1994 Villager has this.) Would like to improve gas mileage when performance is not needed. I currently get about 13.6 miles per gallon overall driving. Also, the guage for average speed doesn't really work. An overdrive gear would have been really nice option. I would also like to have on the Tach a reading of which gear I am in. I would like more storage in the back. It would have been nice to have easily removable third seats or fold flat seats rather than all or nothing.

2006 Toyota 4Runner Review:
Car is very quiet and fast. Car does eat gasoline.

2006 Toyota 4Runner Review:
Just what I needed, it's perfect, don't think I will ever need a 4wd, the pick up is fantastic and boy is it quiet. Not a single defect or a problem to date. Got my first oil change, that's all that has been done. Love the handling at the curves; buy the sport suspension, you will notice the difference.

The cheap looking things that surrounds the fog lights.

2006 Toyota 4Runner Review:
I went to view the 2006 model last night and I am so so glad I didn't purchase the 2005 model. I like the 2006 so much better. The new 18-inch wheels are awesome. The meter gauges are brighter and I love the black-wood trim. Also, the new front grill is nice too. Very nice. Give the vehicle a whole new look. My only complaint would be the little plastic coverings around the fog lights. They seem a bit cheap. Overall, I am very pleased with the new look and will be purchasing one.
