    Currently on my 3rd 4Runner (2019). I’ve only owned 4Runners. I truly believe that the 1999 used 4Runner I got in college would have lasted longer had I not been rear ended on the freeway. I walked away fine. Got a 2003 4Runner used after that. Lasted a really long time. No issues. Sitting at a light, a ford f150 rear ended me and somehow bounced off my vehicle and into a wall. I was fine, I was even able to drive home. The f150 not so much. I still don’t know how that happened. I ended up selling it and telling the buyer what happened. He bought it because it had 3rd row. Even with the minor cosmetic damage, he took it. I used the money to buy the 2019 4Runner. I always wondered what happened to it. did it die? Did it have other issues? Then one day I saw it on the road…6 years later. I still see it on the road too. Sold it with 150,000 miles and the damage. And it’s still going. I will forever buy 4Runners. I’m just pissed I missed the standard CarPlay…by one year! Btw this is in Hawaii. We love our 4Runners.

    The 4Runner is a great truck. Rock solid reliable. The only real long term issue they have is the frame rust if you live in the salt belt. It's been a known issue since forever, and Toyota never did anything to negate it. You can mostly prevent it by applying Fluid Film every few years, but 98% of owners never do. If you're buying a used one, make sure to have someone take a good look at the frame.

So even the limited versions don't need to be marked up a lot. Its MSRP is about as much as I paid for my TRD Sport with the dealer markup

      Sir, you are completely missing the point. One of the reasons people love these vehicles is because it doesn't have all the latest bells & whistles. However, it's still well equipped with the safety and comfort features most people want, and manual controls that are easy to use and don't break down. Like my father used to say...things left off a vehicle don't cause trouble.

      @@johnbarbour115 this is exactly the reason I bout a 2020 4runner limited, just enough bells and whistles without any of the annoying stuff like auto turnoff when stopped etc and proven not some new model that you are beta testing.

      You buy a 4Runner for reliability and quality not bells and whistles.

      @@catdadd6808 Yep exactly why I bought mine in 2020... I wanted 4 things... a radio, AC, cruse control, and power windows LOL. Every car has that now. But the next thing I want is Lane Keeping and Assist. Long drives are better with the included Adaptive Cruse Control, but would love to have lane keeping and assist.

    Took me 10 years to be able to buy this vehicle, glad I was able to 2 weeks ago before the motor changes come.

    When I was a younger I thought stripes like that looked silly. Now I think they look pretty cool, in a nostalgic kinda way.

    I'm going to be buying one of these this year before the V6 is gone. I loved all my Toyotas I've ever had. This will last me for a long time. A long time I won't have to deal with Stop/Start nonsense and 10 speed transmissions hunting all the time.

    Would appreciate just a regular SR5 or TRD version but I'm pretty sure they have the same setup pretty much
