Ambivalent
 THIS REVIEW IS FOR A 2011 SR-5 4-RUNNER! Generally a good, solid vehicle, but some major disappointments. First, the roof lacks the strength to car-top a 14' boat [145 lbs. plus rack system]. Didn't know that when I bought it, or would have passed. I hate moonroofs and wish they'd get rid of them for this kind of vehicle. In upstate NY it's just a matter of time before temp extremes kill the seal and cause a leak. Eliminate the damn things and put a roll-bar-type reinforcement in the roof.  It's an SUV, for God's sake. Secondly, the neutral safety switch failed at 63K, just out of warranty. $400, 2800 miles from home.  [The lifters on the hatch failed while it was still warranted and were replaced., The new ones are now getting a bit saggy.] Also, you should not have to kneel in the driveway or wherever to reach the light harness plug. What a-hole thought it was a good idea to put it BEHIND the bumper? My last gripe: the rear seats don't fold flat, so forget napping back there. On the upside, the 4WD is flawless, and I can get way back in the woods during deer season and get 2 dead ones in back for the ride out. Over several long-haul trips, it's been quite comfortable, and it readily accommodates 2 big adults in the back seat during family visits.  In sum, I wish I'd gone for the Sequoia, but since I'll own it in January I'll make do for a while. I already sold my boat.UPDATE: I still generally like the vehicle, but my original gripes remain. When we got it I had to splice 2' of cable on our Aliner camper to reach the absurdly-located plug socket for the wire harness. The camper's now 11 years old and we've had our eye on a new one, but it would present the same problem with the short cable. I'm also bald, prone to basal cell skin cancer and HATE having the sun beat down on my head, so I never open the damn moonroof. I'm looking for a 12' cartop fishing boat light enough [and narrow enough] to shove in the back with a bed extender. As I noted, the vehicle is now paid off and serves very well as a family passenger car and for getting to the good hunting and fishing spots. It's also good for over-the-road travel from CNY to Florida several times a year and gets decent gas mileage for what it is. I just had a lot of pricey scheduled service done on it and don't anticipate trading it any time soon, but unless Toyota strengthens the roof, moves the trailer wire plug and offers fold-flat rear seats, I'll be looking at Sequoias and Tahoes when I do.Update: No new problems since last update. Looking at a new, larger camper. Still pissed about the wire harness plug location behind the bumper and will again have to modify the camper cable when we get it. Notice that Toyota didn't change the plug location on the new ones, still insists on putting moonroofs in them and still hasn't redesigned the rear seats to fold flat [plus the front end of the new ones looks like an uncircumsized pecker].  I'd never get another 4-Runner after this.Update March 2018: Nothing to add since last review.
