1999 Toyota 4Runner - FIT FOR THE DRIVER
I purchased the truck used with at least 100+ miles already. So I was nervous about the longevity of it. I like that the set up is accommodating for the driver, it FITS FOR THE DRIVER. It rides very well, smooth not rough. I found it handles a lot better than most SUVs on the road. It is a very comfortable ride for the driver though, especially the ac vent located right under the steering wheel. Definitely a bonus for driver. I do not like that there are no speakers in the back for passenger or vent for AC therefore I have to have the radio louder or have the AC blowing harder to circulate. I have had the truck for years and have not had any major issues outside of normal wear and tear. Therefore maintenance is low and performance is still maintained within my budget. Some larger vehic...

Some larger vehicle require a lot of maintenance, high cost maintenance, so I found this to be an asset for my riding pleasure and budget.
A memorable moment is when we went to an outdoor concert and got rain out. We all ran back to our vehicles but didn't want to leave the concert because they were still playing music. So I let all the seats down in Snow White (that's what I call my truck) and we all piled into the back and were able to stay dry and have somewhat of a little picnic right there in the back of the truck.

I left the door lifted up so it provided like a little car port for others to stand up. They didn't stay completely dry but they were able to at least stay dry waist high. The rain lasted about 30mins and we were able to go back to the concert and got better seatings because so many people had left.
It's geared for driver comfort. Its handlebars allows easy access for all passengers to get in and out the truck. I love the space when the seats are let down to allow more cargo room. And the side compartment in the back trunk area to store tools, jumper cables, and etc. is extremely useful. I love that the truck is a SUV but doesn't feel like an SUV. (Too big) which is good because I'm a woman and want to feel in control and not like I am driving a BUS. I LOVE that the rear window lets down. It allows easy access with the key to let up or down when you just need to throw something in the...

It allows easy access with the key to let up or down when you just need to throw something in the back without having to let up the whole trunk door. And I lost the alarm remote but am able to still do a lot of things without it like unlocking all the doors at once but turning the key twice to the right through the driver door. (I don't have to get in and hit the unlock button to unlock the doors)
Although it appears roomy, the truck does not have a lot of leg space for taller passengers. There are no vents for backseat passengers, nor are there speakers. I don't have many cons about this truck because I do enjoy it. My sunroof leaked which caused damage to the interior roof, so the headline inside the truck is discolored. It was due to not knowing when the sunroof was fully completed or not. There should be a better way to do that than just pushing one button. I do not, I repeat, I do not have many cons about this truck.
