Looking for a reliable used SUV but aren’t sure where to start? These are some reliable Toyota SUVs under $25,000 that might get the job done. One of these reliable sport utility vehicles happens to be from Lexus, but Toyota owns Lexus. It still came in under budget!

The Lexus RX is technically a reliable Toyota SUV under $25,000

The 2014-2015 Lexus RX is one of the most popular SUVs ever, thanks to its reliability and ease of ownership. Consumer Reports says it is one of the reliable Toyota SUVs under $25,000, even though it is technically a Lexus. Reliability trouble spots like the engine, transmission and drive system were no issue. Even though some might consider this a luxury vehicle, buyers can still find one within budget.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave the 2014 Lexus RX a five-star overall crash test rating. Most of the crash test ratings were four and five stars. Consumer Reports also gave this reliable SUV the coveted “recommended” label.

Average Retail Price: $20,200 – $23,300

The 4Runner is another reliable Toyota SUV under $25,000

The 2012-2013 Toyota 4Runner is known to last long and not cost a lot along the way. With high reliability and owner satisfaction scores, the 4Runner is a capable midsize SUV with three rows. Reliability trouble spots like the engine major, minor, and cooling were not an issue for this sport utility vehicle.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) didn’t have as many tests in 2012, but the 2012 4Runner scored a few “good” scores. The IIHS roof crush test score was only “acceptable.” Consumer Reports recommends this Toyota SUV and says it is even capable off-road. People tend to hang on to the 4Runner for as long as possible, so you might have better luck with a private dealer.

Average Retail Price: $18,625 – $22,400

Don’t overlook the Toyota Highlander sport utility vehicle

The 2015-2016 Toyota Highlander is just one of many reliable years for this SUV. Areas like acceleration, transmission, and braking received high scores. Owners reported a comfortable ride and enough cargo space for most situations. The interior is simple but comes with plenty of features. The hybrid version of the Highlander is always a good buy.

This reliable Toyota SUV under $25,000 also received the Top Safety Pick Plus award from the IIHS. The NHTSA also gave the SUV four and five stars on its crashworthiness tests. You won’t get blind-spot monitoring (BSM) and forward collision warning (FCW) on all trim levels, so try to find one with it, if possible.

Average Retail Price: $19,725 – $26,600

The list of reliable Toyota SUVs under $25,000 might be longer in the future when used car prices come down. For now, the semiconductor chip shortage is keeping demand high and supply low. Buyers can count on the Toyota brand, which is known for making the SUVs most likely to run for over 200,000 miles.
