IntelliChoice Analysis – The 4Runner has been a cornerstone of Toyota’s accelerating success in the U.S., and in many circles, it is seen as one of the pioneer vehicles that sparked the SUV craze in the early 1990’s. And as a testimony to Toyota, the 4Runner is still among the finest when it was named to the Inaugural Motorist’s Choice roster in 2006. With a 5 year Cost of Ownership of just $35,170 vs. the competitor’s $38,683, the outstanding resale value and reliability continue to shine.
