CarComplaints.com Notes: Although it has a stellar record in terms of vehicle problems, initially the 4th generation (2003 - 2009) 4Runner didn't earn our top "Seal of Awesome" rating because it received poor crash test ratings for rear impacts. However it's proven to have one of the lowest driver death rates out of all vehicles (not just SUVs), so we've bumped it back up to our top award.
When coming to a complete stop, the transmission downshifts very hard and you can feel it jar the truck. Feels like someone has run into the rear of your vehicle. I have not spoken with Toyota yet. I have the 4.7 V8 with Auto 4wheel drive.
