Specifications & Summary

Summary

The 2008 Toyota 4Runner is roughly the same vehicle introduced in 2003 and other than some grille, bumper and taillight treatments, has not changed much in that time. As the 4Runner continues to age, the competition has managed to gain ground on the Toyota staple. The Nissan Pathfinder offers many of the same features, but has a more responsive V-8 and the Kia Borrego brings a lot of bang for considerably less money. But even five-year old Toyota technology is still hard to beat when you consider the automakers reputation for performance and reliability. The 2008 Toyota 4Runner still does everything you'd want it to... and more.
