johnny moore. .. I have a 2000 stove stock 4Runner 5 speed SR5.. 225,000 miles. Zero rust here in so. Oregon. . Starter and radiator replaced. All services done and "over serviced" ie more than required. . I have the biggies done at the Toyota dealership. Timing belt and H20 pump were replaced every 90 K as per required. I replaced the front brakes and discs twice and the front and rear shocks and springs at 200K. The sunroof works occasionally, I don't care for them so little use. The radio works when the ambient temperature is above 70 degrees. I rarely listen to the radio when driving so not a serious issue. Just spent $1200 on tires and an alignment it did not need. I have a spare set of OEM steel wheels with studs mounted for winter use. I averaged 17 MPG over the 20 years I have owned the vehicle. I have a 2016 Tundra, POS compared to this 4 Runner. As Truck the TUNDRA is a joke. I like it I don't love it. A cupholder on wheels. It needs some minor upholstery work on the driver's seat and a new left door seal which I have. I replaced the rear door struts with some aftermarket crap last year as the new OEM were about $180 apiece. The originals last 20 years, the replacements have lasted one year. But 1/4 the price. I may treat it to some OEM struts soon. Needs a left visor, factory units discontinued in my color (tan) the grey ones look like Spit and are about $85 each and also discontinued, some stock left. I'll keep looking for a good used one or find a way to repair this one. I took two Yakima racks and made one rack out of them which fits perfectly from the back edge of the sun roof to the rear upper spoiler...I have a bunch of clamp on goodies to mount my stuff, but unlike the posers with their jacked up junk and self applied mud, I don't put that stuff on to profile around town.. I load up when I take off on a jaunt. I have owned 130 cars and trucks, 25 years in the car biz 11 retail, 14 working for High Line Euro makes and 7 1/2 years of that with Mazda Motors of America as a District manager.. So far, Toyota is the best.. their new age customer service is not quite what it used to be but better than the rest.. Mazda is still good.. too bad they don't make a truck. I will not part with this 4 Runner. After I go to the parking lot in the sky my wife will keep the 4 Runner... Did I mention that she was the first , and when she replaced it with her first Highlander ( she now has a 2018) , she made me buy the 4 Runner from her.. It was a good deal at $11K..she wanted cash. : ) She will also keep my 1963 MGB Roadster...

Scotty IS KING regarding cars!!..🤴

My 01 has an evap code and needs a downstream 02 sensor. I still get 21mpg driving it daily and clear them with the Innova code reader Scotty recommended.

I bought my 97 V6 4wd limited, just like this one, last july after watching your original review on a 4Runner. I got it for a little over $5k total, to include those pesky dealer fees. All I had to do was put a muffler on it, change the alternator, spark plugs and wires, and two tires, and an oil change. I am getting ready to change the other two tires and the radiator, and I had the battery, terminals bolts, wires, and starter changed because a bad mechanic had me waste my money. All together, great vehicle if you take care of them, and I baby mine. The only major issue was a previous owner or mechanic did a bad job with the windshield and the seal is coming up and it's rusting around the channel, but nothing some JB Weld Steel Stik Epoxy Putty can't fix as windshields and rust are expensive if done right. The previous owner went to college I think in Idaho and was from Virginia Beach, or vice versa. But I got it with about 200k miles, and now it's about 230k, we don't drive it very far.

Congratulations on 5 million

I just got my 2022 4Runner TRD off-road premium a few months ago and it's a beast I love it a true 4x4 with a low rang and lockers

05 Highlander, 282,000 miles. 26 on hwy. Been great. 3 timing belts.... interference engine. Had 98 four runner but gas mileage was poor.

Currently driving a 99 4 Runner Limited. 204k miles, no rust, in beautiful shape. My uncle bought it new in 99 and babied it. Great car. Mechanics always rave on how great my old car looks and runs. 😀

These have rear differential lock?

Love Scotty. Honestly a good guy 👞 that will be hard to fill when he gets worn out someday

Don't worry. Scotty is built like a Toyota, he'll run for ever!

[@mjpender9443]

Hey Scotty, love your videos. I took your advice and bought a used 2011 4Runner with 284000 KMs (176000 miles) on it back in 2020. It just runs no matter what. Only had to put a decent battery in it. Could you tell me what the year is for the 4Runner in this video? thanks.

[@chofyam3466]

I own a 2001 4runner. It's great!

[@kenk3102]

...fate brought me a 2000 Toyota 4Runner.....after Harvey flood (2017) destroyed my two vehicles, the 4Runner was the only transportation I could find within 300 miles.....my son brought it to me on a flatbed trailer from Ft. Worth.....heck, I did not even know what a 4Runner was at the time, but after driving it for only ten minutes, I fell in love.....6 months later I bought another 2000 4Runner....same model and drive train (3.4 V6 2WD).....I have done restoration on both and have them dialed in to original performance......I think they will outlast me... :)

[@Argedis]

2WD is bulletproof and is all most people will ever really need. I have a 2001 Tacoma and I love it as well. So much visibility and easy to drive nothing like modern ones.

[@drz00241kid]

I’ve owned two 3rd gens and a coworker owns a 3rd gen since new only thing to be carefull for on these trucks is avoiding the strawberry milkshake when the radiator gives up and Frame rust so if you find one with a clean frame just slap an external tranny cooler and it will out live 90% of the cars trucks newer than it

[@DiegoFlores-cu8yf]

What year is this 4runner , Scotty? Thank you! Great video

[@dsbennett]

I bought a 2007 Honda Pilot AWD base model brand new. It has 60,000 miles now. I used it for long trips and towing my utility trailer full of firewood. Runs like new. I love the car. Wife has a 2002 Honda Accord V6 deluxe model. She's put 120,000 miles on it. Runs like new. Great for trips too. Only had to replace the CD player, battery, spark plugs, and whatever else minor stuff. Love that car too but it's hard to get in and out of because it is so low and I'm so fat.

[@donovananderson39]

i got one i love it thank u scotty

Hey Scotty, how do you determine which vehicles have "interference engines"? Love the vids. Always!👍

[@greenbanana2332]

Just google year/make/model… ez to find that info on the ‘net.

The members of TLC got Toyota 4runners when they signed their first recording contract in 1989 their first album was released in February 1992

[@jimbailey1731]

I had a 94 4Runner with over 250000 miles only small thing wrong. I have a 2007 4Runner sport with 200000 with nothing wrong. Love them. Some modular thing is out and all the 4WD stuff is out. Only 2WD now till fixed but still a super strong vehicle

[@josephtulk499]

I bought a 99 4runner manual with 160 miles motor on cold start roars to life

[@TheWirkkalaShow]

I had a 99 with the same engine. Changed the timing belt at 260,000 and it had 1 bad crack. Still running like a top

[@richardyocum6053]

Wanted a 2022 4Runner but got impatient and got highlander instead. It was on the lot and they sell at msrp so I gave in lol. Will be upgrading in a a few years 👍🏿

[@stevenlefebvre2991]

Get one quick before they change to the new four-cylinder turbocharged engines. Trust me when I tell you you want the six-cylinder 4 L engine. It is legendary. You will have no problems with that engine and transmission. I know I have one. I have a Trd off road. Look around in different states you will be able to find one.

[@wiegand185]

My daily driver is 2000 4runner with 241k miles... running strong!!!

[@marko6128]

Scotty - Quick question… Do you see any problem with installing throttle response enhancement devices like Sprint Booster on a 2018 V6 Tacoma off-road 4x4? I’ve heard those little devices make for a much more inspiring ride, but I don’t want to damage the drivetrain or void my warranty. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Just wondered if you could show us the basics of how to use an oscilloscope in analysis of a car. I have a modern Tektronix digital 100 mhz scope; it is a not a storage-type though.
