True dat. Was searching for one for a few months and gave up. People be like "here's my 1998 4Runner with 285,000 miles...$6,000 plz." I ended up buying a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 short bed regular cab from an old man. Only has 53,000 miles on it. The thing is, these 4Runners aren't selling. I see the same ones reposted over and over again on FB and CL and the sellers will not budge on price. Trucks in general are all insanely over-priced right now, no matter the brand. And if you're looking for a diesel, forget it--they all have over 250k on them.

[@Turshin]

I wouldn't buy anything for 10k and has body damage. 10k can get you in a descent yukon or tahoe that's just as reliable with a LS V8.

@@pastagreyhound Seriously, those prices. -_- There was a truck parked in someone's yard near me, possibly old as time itself with the rust to prove it. The asking price was $7000 or something outrageous. Are these people being serious or simply naive? Many of the same trucks are occasionally seen driving around. Grill's long gone, one headlight housing missing, rear bumper is halfway on, and it sputters upon acceleration reaching 40mph in 3.5 minutes.

Mysteriously vanishing coolant that is not in the exhaust, not in the oil, no leaks and definitely not in the rad. The rad cap makes a sucking sound when you open it even cold releasing vacumn.

The frames in the Tacoma and 4runner are actually completely different. The Tacoma uses a compound boxed and C-channel frame made in the US by Dana and was the subject of a class action lawsuit and recall in the 1st and 2nd gens due to rust. The 4runner frame is fully boxed and based on the Land Cruiser Prado platform which also is used by the FJ Cruiser and Lexus GX. Part of the reason I decided on a 6mt FJ over a Tacoma.

7:15 anyone know where I can find that blind spot mirror cover?

[@Eastwood007x]

My personal favorite regular car. Long awaited.

I'm surprised he hasn't done a 57 chevy, as iconic as it is.

[@frankkollar2278]

if you're a do it yourselfer one solution to the truck seat syndrome is to replace the foam of the seat with foam from a recycled passenger seat they're usually not worn out and fit with minor modification Cheers

When you said “Oh, it’s white too? Lets get this thing dirty.” I immediately thought “That’s what she said.” 🤣 Thanks for another great video. 👍

[@LinusTan94]

Thank you Mr. Regular and Roman for uploading this video at 3:30 AM PST! It’s a perfect cure for my Monday morning insomnia that isn’t too damn late to a point I can see the sun slowly rising up through my windows. Anyways, have a good week!

5:00 the preferred song to play at an off-roaders' gathering

[@CardboardSliver]

I kept playing that over and over.

My mom got a 2001 Tacoma 4 door 2WD Prerunner here in Florida for $5,000. It did need some work, like ball joints, shocks, power steering, brakes, both rotors and pads. Basically rebuilt that part of her. But engine and transmission are great. And not a speck of rust. I can't remember how much money we put into fixing it up, but it's a good little truck. I'd love to have me one someday, but I haul heavy shit with my truck.

When a teenager has some taste and gets a nice SUV.

[@DavidELD]

Don't you dare equate the 4Runner as a MOM'S SUV... That's the Highlander. The 4Runner is as masculine as Greco Roman Wrestling and the Pillar Men from Jojo without all associated homosexual subtext. The 4Runner flexes, and the world parts to make way for it.

[@basithph8958]

DavidELD dude chill I love the 4Runner it’s one of the best trucks ever!

[@willdog3]

I had a 2000 4runner, most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. Only mechanical part that failed on it in 200,000 miles was the drive shaft u-joints. I bought it for 6000 dollars in 2009, sold it for 4500 dollars in late 2019. 1.5k depreciation in over 10 years. Not a bad run.

[@lifeisgood12341]

I miss the old Pathfinder...

[@brian46214]

All nissan went to shit once they did a deal with the devil Renault. I loved my 95 pathfinder. I looked at late model Xterras and everything about them seemed cheaper and flimsier than Toyota.

[@MayheM_72]

I worked at a body shop that did all the body work for a local Totota dealership, I remember every early/mid '00s Toyota truck rode like the springs were soft and the shocks stiff. They would slowly lean over...and then slowly straighten up again...

[@bysidewinder]

Make 3rd gen 4Runner review please!

[@remissiveslave]

Best car review channel on KZbin. Bar none

[@RandomDuude]

You need to take this thing to MOAB

[@alfonsolodge473]
