2003 Toyota 4Runner Overview

The 4Runner has been creeping up the desirability ladder since its 1985 introduction, introducing luxury items that might have originally offended its 4x4 purist owners. That said its excellent off-road characteristics, due in part to a ladder-type frame and bull-low gearing, have stayed intact continuing to win it a small group of loyal fans. But the venerable model, that has been ever so slow to change, hasn't received a major update since 1996. But of course that's now old news. The all-new sport utility has gone through a monumental metamorphosis. Will its faithful following like the latest changes?
