4Runners

I found a 2007 4Runner SR5 that seems decent price (9500). It has 143k mi but seems to be in good condition. Can anyone tell me about 4runners and any tips buying one used?

Not much to say about them. Good cars overall. Some models even have genuine 4x4 option. The 4cyl version is slow as fuck but will get the job done. Based on the highlander/rav4 platform which is GOAT tier when it comes to comfort/utility/reliability.

I wouldn't pay $9,500 for it though. My 2010 Highlander with 68,000 miles was valued at $20k or so a few years back

Yes,

don't buy one with 143k mi.

>genuine 4x4 option

What does it mean to be "genuine" 4x4? I have heard this before, don't really understand.

Also, kbb lists the market value for the one I'm looking at at about 10500-12500, so 9500 seems decent. Why would your highlander be a good comparison?

Thanks for the replies so far.

also the one I'm looking at is the V8 with VVTi (260hp), not V6 or I4s.

Not even close to the RAV4 or highlander. Those 2 are unibody crossovers with AWD.

4runner is body on frame (still) with part time 4WD.

They all (with the exception of the new limited) can offroad quite well.

And by they all, I meant all trims of the 4runner. New rav 4s and highlanders cant offroad worth a damn.

Old old rav 4s were OK but still not great

2007 4runner is 4th generation , much better safety features than 1st gen (1980s trucks had few requirements)

4runners known for reliability and strength around the world (named toyota hilux surf in most countries)

if you are buying as "suv" then look for ones NOT lifted, NOT rock-crawling, etc.

Okay as everyday vehicle if you dont mind 18-20 mpg avg city/hwy and maybe 26mpg legal hwy speeds. Harder for seniors, little kids, old dogs to climb into compared with minivan/car.

It is a good truck, it drinks like a mad ape but you already know that if you are shopping for that kind of vehicule.

You're a complete fucking retard, but that's been pointed out already.
