Toyota 4runner 2000 Vs Infiniti QX4 2002 by almubby: 5:41am On Jul 25, 2012 |
Fellow Nairalanders, I intend going for one of these two - Toyota 4Runner(2000) or Infiniti QX4(2002). Please, which would you go for if you're in my shoes? Considering - reliability, ease of maintenance & fuel economy. Kindly note that this is not a comparism btw BRANDS, considering the difference in the YEAR of manufacture. Expert/Experienced opinion highly welcome! |

Go for a 4 Runner as it is more rugged,and more maintainable locally though not as elegant as the QX4 in its interior and exterior |

I ve used the Toyota 4Runner from 1996 to 2002 models. I can only advice you: If you are looking for ruggedness, go for the 4Runner. If you are looking for low cost of maintenance, for for 4Runner If you are looking for high-endurance engine, go for the 4Runner If you are looking for classy interior, go for Infinity If you are looking for sharp response and a smoother ride, go for Infinity. Over to you now. N/B: I have very clean tokunbo 4Runner 2001 (Sports Edition), just arrived Tin Can. Let me know if you are interested so I can send pics. Good-luck! |

eddy42k: it might interest u to know that Qx4 is among the most durable suv, i dont really fancy 00 4runner its too poor on the inside and the body looks Can you explain more with facts why the 4Runner is poor? I have used the 2 units at different times when I was working as a field engr in Nigeria. I ve used them to Birnin-Kebbi to Calabar, Obudu to Kano, etc. My company later stopped using any other SUV for our field job except the 4Runner! It's durability and performance stands our clearly! It's high endurance capability still amazes me each time I recall my field experience in Nigeria. Can we have your facts? |

the 2002 infinity outclasses the 2000 4runner interms of looks/interior/finishing...but the 4runner wins over reliability n ruggedness.........the solution out of ur dilenma wud be to go for a 2003 4runner.. 4th gen 4runner is 2003 to 2009 the 2003 being the first in the series is cheaper than the newer models hovering around the 2m price range or even lower depending on its state |

But I think the 1999-2002 model was designed straight to the point, no excesses. The 4th and later generation boast of good interior, as some even come with DVD and 3rd row. Also smoother drive. But beware of the exterior when it is aging 'cos of its big shape! 1999-2002 model seems to have stronger body than the later models (judging from looks). Anything is possible, but honestly I am wondering where you get the 03 model for the price range you stated. If you are getting it less than 2.3m, check its state very well also run the VIN check. |

Guys, I wish to thank you all for your comments, they're well appreciated. In fact, I got much more than I requested. Haven gone thru all your comments, and taken out time to physically check-out these two suvs, I think i'm tempted to go for the 02 QX4. The ride is sweet inside/out and a test drive was superb. I've now come to the conclusion that, though the 4runner may be more rugged/reliable, a good maintenance culture should keep my QX4 running (since no one has said anything negative other than the fact that the 4runner is better). However, if anyone is aware of a major problem common to the QX4s expecially 2001/2002, please endeavour to share such info. Thanks all. cretin: the 2002 infinity outclasses the 2000 4runner interms of looks/interior/finishing...but the 4runner wins over reliability n ruggedness.........the solution out of ur dilenma wud be to go for a 2003 4runner.. 4th gen 4runner is 2003 to 2009 the 2003 being the first in the series is cheaper than the newer models hovering around the 2m price range or even lower depending on its state My budjet is below 2M |

almubby: Bro, thought you have concluded the QX4 02 is ok for you, go for it therefore. Only beware where you pack your QX4, if you live in Lagos, for the vandals are on the prowl 'cos of its expensive parts! Good-luck! 1 Like |

Re: Toyota 4runner 2000 Vs Infiniti QX4 2002 by cretin: 4:42pm On Aug 04, 2012 |
i quoted the 2m for the 2003 4runner cos thats the price most nigerians wanna hear........a clean 2003 4runner.. is abt 2.3m naira minimum depending on the state/mileage @chimsky a 2005 4runner v6 is btw 2.8m n 3.5m depending on the state/mileage......., though a mid model refresh was done in 2006 so the 2006 looks beta than the 05...round fog lights..better llooks etc |
Re: Toyota 4runner 2000 Vs Infiniti QX4 2002 by burningspear(m): 6:05pm On Aug 04, 2012 |
CHIMSKY: I do not have 05 model at hand now. But I do have one 04 model which will arrive Lagos next month, but it doesn't have 3rd row! I'll check the 05 for you later today, but may not be far from what Cretin quoted. Off to work now... |
