I've been searching for a '16 TRD Pro in Quicksand.  Almost had one yesterday the dealer was asking $40,899 for it... when I saw the price I jumped on it but some SOB in FL already put a deposit on it to be picked up this weekend

So back to searching.

That's not bad for a Pro this time of year.

I just actually totaled my 03 4 Runner that had 255,000 miles on it and got $8000 for it from the insurance company. They hold their value very very well.

Cut her out and drove her down the hill!!!

We looked at several used 4Runner's and it just did not make sense to buy used. I hate buying new cars but for $32k in 2010 we got a new SR5 with leather and a sunroof. Used ones (2007 to 2009) were $25k or more and a Limited with leather was $32k with a lot of miles. F that. Similar with new trucks, the prices are crazy for used. I went new with my Ram and got $11k off with rebates/incentives/discount and got to order exactly what I wanted. Not to mention 0% interest.

I miss my 87 4Runner with the removable hard top back. What a tank of a truck, ran for over 250,000 miles and almost 18 years until my brother wrecked it. No repairs outside of regular maintenance, decent gas milage, great offroading.

GF bought the 2016 Pro and it is badass, I just stole a 2001 limited with 150k on the clock.

What color is the BroPro?


Black, I get compliments on it, every time I drive it. I think she paid 50k, Windows are tinted with the ceramic tint, expensive but worth every penny, really need it in this GA heat.

Ceramic tint?


Cuts down on the uv and the heat, some actually put a clear on the front windshield to block the heat.

We were looking at 4runners and explorer sports and went with the explorer sport ecoboost because it had a much nicer interior and damn near 100hp more.
I've always liked Toyota but they need to up their game on the 4Runner.

And all vehicle prices are now crazy.

Correct, new or used.  I don't even want or like cars/ vehicles anymore.  I had interested in them when I was a kid and now that I'm of age I'd rather not buy anything at all.  Talk about a buzz kill.

Kids were getting out of college years ago getting $60k/yr jobs, minimal if any loans, buying new sports cars and driving them.

Now I'm like, can I get a $6k civic?

I'm pretty sure I can get more than the $2500 that I spent on my LX Notchback 4 years ago.

My running, driving, 5spd/5.0 LX notchback that needs paint.

SOME cars will go up in value as they age. Most don't.

Actually that was the 85th tree on the property I had taken down so all I can say is accidents happen...I cut thru my hinge on the uphill side by accident and well the rest is history. I deserve a little ribbing cause it was a knucklehead move but hey no one got hurt so all is well.

I was the original owner 03 Sport Edition (V8) with almost 250K miles and sold it for $5K.  I probably could've squeezed more but it had a cracked manifold at the time of sale.

It was a good vehicle but wasn't perfect. Below is stuff I had to replace most was maintenance but not all.

- Transfercase leak (actuator) - Replaced with salvaged case
- Replaced Rotors and Calipers (Ate through a few sets)
- Replaced Front wheel bearings
- Replace muffler
- Replaced leaky CV axle
- Replaced multiple bulbs (headlight, taillight, dash, license plate).
- Replaced 5 windshields
- Replaced plugs a few times
- 3 sets of tires
- AC Fuse
- 02 sensors
- Replaced XREAS suspension with FJC coils and Bilstein 5100 shocks
- Swaybar end links
- Timing Belt\Water pump x3 (expensive maintenance)
- Dash Cracked (Couldn't get dealer to fix)
- Driver side seat mounts (Couldnt get dealer to fix and it wobbled)
- Skid plate completely rusted through and frame was starting to rust badly
- Cracked passenger side manifold
- 1 battery

Link for the below.



The Toyota 4runner does not actually burn fuel. It accepts it as a sacrifice.

The large hadron collier is actually an experiment to find out what the 4runner is made of.

Toyota made a promotional film describing the construction of the first 4Runner. It is called "NEON GENESIS EVANGELLION"

The reason Toyota used a tundra instead of a 4Runner to tow the shuttle was that the 4runner would've ripped the landing gear off.

The 4Runner does not actually drive. It rotates the Earth to your desired position.

The Paris Dakar rally is loosely based on one 4Runner owner's daily commute.

The Taliban uses Hiluxes because 4Runners are subject to international arms controls as WMDs.

The 4runner's window sticker lists William Wallace's entire speech from Braveheart.

Shakespeare's soliloquy in Henry V is based on a sales presentation given to all sales people before Toyotathon 1988.

Got tired of trying to find one only to have someone swoop in and get it....so late April we ordered got it last week...
I like that cement color but the quicksand is really hard to photograph accurately color wise....its like a darker coyote brown sort of..

Its a nice all around woods color for 4 seasons

Toyota does not build them as good as they used to.  

I have a 1999 Tacoma that was 14 years old and had 140K miles before I did any maintenance other than oil changes, two sets of tires, and two batteries.  Even the factory brake pads lasted that long.  

I have a 2007 Tundra with 60K miles, it is a great truck but has little cosmetic things break here and there.  It has always been garaged but the window seals are dryrotting and a few small interior things have broken.  The paint also scratches if you look at it wrong.

I love both but even Toyota has cut some corners in the past few years.  That being said both are worlds better than a year equivalent from the big three.

That's about the only gripe we have with my wife's '13 Highlander. Paint's like mush. That and the parking brake won't hold the vehicle in neutral on a slight incline. Other than that it has been a great ride. 35000 miles, serviced by the manual and the factory tires replaced last year.

V8 4runner is best 4runner

Seriously find a used 4th generation V8.  When they cross 200k miles the prices seem to really drop.

I've got a 2004 V8 4wd limited with 265k that's been 100% reliable.  It uses zero oil between changes and has given me great service.

This. I sold my 03' I bought new recently and replaced it with a F150.  I had to go full size since I have 4 kids.  I wanted to go with a 4Runner Trail with a 3rd Row but Toyota doesn't build them that way. I would have bought a Tundra too but you can't get a Crewmax with a split bench in a SR5 TRD package.  F150 is sweet but it has some big shoes to fill.

I just actually totaled my 03 4 Runner that had 255,000 miles on it and got $8000 for it from the insurance company. They hold their value very very well.

Crazy they paid out $8K.  I sold mine for a lot less that was similar miles. I guess I should have parked it next to a tree.  lol

Cuts down on the uv and the heat, some actually put a clear on the front windshield to block the heat.

I wish I had installed the Ceramic tint.  I do have the Air Blue 80 windshield tint (clear).  My wife's Toyota has ceramic tint and it is very nice and her ride feels cooler inside than mine.

As for V8 versus the V6 engine....some model years come with timing chains that do not need replacement while others have timing belts that must be replaced at a specific mileage.

More HP, but at a higher RPM and less torque. The 5th gen is a couple hundred pounds heavier and has larger diameter stock tires with the same gearing, plus a throttle and transmission shifting highly optimized for MPGs. Net result it is slower than the 4th gen and feels much slower unless you really step on it.

 



The 4.7 v8 had a timing belt, the new 4.6 v8 has a chain, but not available on the 4runner. Old and new v6s have chains.

03+ V6 4Runner are chain. All V8 4Runners are belt.
