#55 of 74 Driven Both by bmurray Mar 13, 2004 (10:12 pm)
Sorry, but I have to disagree with Koho955 here. Drove the 4runner V6 sport numerous times b/c I was positive it was the car for me...I'm 6'1" and felt like I was back in my corolla in the 4runner. My 5'4" wife agreed. She said she felt like a sardine and could only imagine what it was like for me. My left shoulder also sat/rubbed against the left pillar. Headroom was lacking as well. Ended up buying the HL V6 and am extremely happy I did..MUCH more visibility and room up front.

Actually, the Camry is being compared to something else.   Toyota Camry vs Honda CR-V   Steve, Host Replies to this message: i_luv_toyota (Jan 21, 2005 10:19 am)

Replying to: steve_ (Jan 19, 2005 2:51 pm) Apparantly, the Camry is the universal comparison vehicle, LOL!   Did anybody compare it to an H2 yet?

Replying to: 243 (Jun 21, 2003 2:32 pm) I looked at this extensively last year. Both are good cars. If price isn't a huge cosideration, go with the lexus 330 AWD. The mechanics are very similar but its just nicer and worth it if you spend time in your car. If price is a consideration, get the Highlander. The 4runner is on a truck platform and you'll notice the difference in the ride, and most people don't really do serious offroading. I got the lexus 330 and love it but passed it on to my folks since a minivan is in my future (had it been the highlander, i would be considered only a good son and not a great one).   I borrowed it in this recent snowstorm and it handled great. Love the navigation and rear camera as well. The prices should get better as people try to get the hybrid version. I would stick with the regular rx 330. Good luck

Currently have a '03 Grand Cherokee LT Thinking about the Highlander V6 or 4Runner V8. Regularly tow trailer with 3000 pound capacity. Will I have any problem with the Highlander? Any thoughts on which to get? Replies to this message: agnosto (Feb 05, 2006 6:34 pm) robg4 (Feb 05, 2006 8:43 pm)

Replying to: baz (Mar 18, 2005 4:28 pm) Not sure your preference, but I can assure you there is no comparison between Highlander and 4Runner ... I just purchased a 2006 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4WD V8 (5 Speed) Shadow Mica/Stone Leather and I feel so good and safe in it and the power ohhh boy it is something else ... its towing capacity is 7000 lbs.   The driving experience is also so good ... I got the Michelin Cross Terrain tires which it helps significant.   Good luck... Replies to this message: robg4 (Feb 05, 2006 8:43 pm)

Replying to: agnosto (Feb 05, 2006 6:34 pm) The 4 runner is 1 tough you know what. A drunk driver hit us in the rear causing only minor damage. It totalled her car.   The cabin is as comfortable and luxurious as any I have seen.   Anyone that likes tough looking and tough acting vehicles should take a look at the 4 runner. Definitely a no nonsense attitude when developed.

Does anyone have problems with permium AM radio in '96 4Runner. It (signal) fades in and out in strong reception areas. very annoying.
