I had an 04 4runner that I bought used in ~2011 and traded it for a 2016 Tacoma TRD OR 4x4 when the third gen came out. Going from the 4.0 to 3.5 was a huge mistake. I hated how that engine performed in a truck. It had no low end. Fuel economy was no better than the 4.0. Had to jump down from 6th to 4th to climb any decent grade. Regardless, I have a '21 F150 with the 5.0 now and it has 400 hp, gets better fuel economy than both(averages ~19.5 mpg on e10-15 no matter how I drive), and the seats don't hurt my back on long drives like the tacoma did. Really makes me question why I would have ever bought a mid size truck.

If you have the limited trim, the only annoying thing is the XREAS shocks. Once they start leaking you have to replace the entire unit, typically $5k for parts and labor. Better option in that case, gut the XREAS and use bilstein 4600 or 5100 shocks to retain the factory height. Parts and labor and alignment probably around 1000 or so.

Hidden gem of the car world right now are the Lexus GX460. Same platform as the 4Runner and FJ Cruiser, 4.6L V8, 6 speed AISIN trans, only downside is the full-time 4x4 (torsen limited slip locking center diff w/Low Range) which requires matching tires so a set of 4 if you have a blowout. You can pick them up on the used market for about the same cost as a used 4Runner, except they come with a lot more creature comforts and a V8 which increases towing capacity.

Interesting insight. I own a Toyota Land Cruiser 150 series with the same 4.0 V6. Last I heard, it’s successor will not be having a V6 anymore but a 4 cylinder turbo and a hybrid.

I purchased a 2004 4Runner 4x4 232k for $7K from a private owner. I’m active duty and I needed a durable tank vehicle like the 4Runner. I own. 19 WRX limited and I didn’t want to use it as an everyday vehicle. Was $7K high? Yes but, I didn’t want to pay $50k over. I’m on a budget and yes my 4Runner blew the thermostat, serpentine belt, o-rings, and water pump 😂😂😂😂 I like my little tank and I intend to rip it to 500k 🎉

In the gulf, we get the same V6 4.0L engine with a 6 speed auto transmission with a LC300. Got it, love it. Its the same combo that was available with the old V6 LC200 and the Prado

It's a shame that Toyota is getting rid of these super reliable V6 engines and replacing them with 4-cylinder turbos 🤦♂🤦♂. Toyota didn't sell any turbo engine vehicles in the US for a quarter century but now they're gonna make nothing but turbos.

As an owner of 2015 4th gen SR5 (FWD) I share the sentiments- great handsome exterior, practical roomy interior, topped with gold-standard reliability and durability. It's the last car I hope to ever purchase before robotaxis become the norm :) 😁 Also, 4runner replacement parts are easy to purchase, pretty affordable, and not too difficult to install/replace as a DIY lay person. I've routinely changed engine/interior filters, front lightbulbs, and even replaced a broken sideview mirror (which was more challenging but still doable). I was also able to remove the audio system to install an inexpensive Apple carplay device. Saved immense amount of $ carshops would've otherwise charged me!

Front and rear differential gears are the same so you can drive on dry pavement unlike domestic which used to have one extra tooth in front gear so it pulled rear wheels more. I think my 3rd Gen was limited to 52 mph on dry pavement. I looked for towing information and limitations for transmission and I didn't see it or anything about limiting speed. I don't think the new AWD systems or 4H have the same worries.

I just passed 200,000 miles on my 2016 4runner SR5. So far since buying it in 2017, I have only replaced tires twice, brakes three times, windshield twice, battery once and the nuetral safety switch. I change the oil with fun synthetic anywhere between 8,000-12,000 miles. I just drained the rear pinion oil and refilled. Havent done much else. Although I do have a broken seal on my passenger headlight thats annoying me…. Great truck. Couldnt ask for a better one.
@michaelpalm221010 ай бұрын
That stupid nuetral safety switch has been replaced twice already on my 2020. Must be a faulty part that keeps coming back for more. Other than that better tires and oil changes are all I've had to do. Great Toyota

Not even worried about the miles per gallon here. Once you drive a vehicle that requires a higher octane, the price can come around the same. I can think of plenty out there that are smaller and you can spend just as much. Leased plenty of vehicles here. Volkswagen, Audi BMW, etc…. Bought this one to keep long term. Only difference is this will spend less time in the shop. 150,000 miles plus and drives still new. No worries here.

You buy a 4runner for the capability and reliability of a vehicle that you can keep for 10 plus years with minimal repair costs! And it's a beast ans looks great!

Sold my 2022 4runner after one year. I couldn't get over two things - bad mpg and transmission scared me every time P to Drive. It would clunk. I tried everything to correct. Nothing helped. I had to learn to live with it. As a one person 99% of the time commuter I got a 23 Corolla Hybrid made in Japan. Honestly I miss the 4Runner but I enjoy everything about the made in Japan Corolla. Everything no rattling and it doesn't feel cheap it drives as smooth as a $45k car.
