2008 Toyota 4Runner Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
not enough leg room see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
This is a vehicle designed for people 5 fett 11 inches and under - no two ways about it. If you are 5 feel 11 or over you will not enjoy this truck. see full Toyota 4Runner review

5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
The consequence of reducing overall height while maintaining trail worthy obstacle clearance is a relatively low to floor seating position more attune to sedans. Seats are comfortable though even for a big framed person. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
Seat position low to floor leaves you sitting with a knee high position. Seats itself are comfortable, but there is no space for your feet under the front seats. All floor surfaces are almost flat though considering it truck roots. see full Toyota 4Runner review

Not a power seat. Cannot get it into an optimum adjustment. see full Toyota 4Runner review
