The SR5 came standard with 6-spoke 16” aluminum alloy wheels, but they could be upgraded to a 5-spoke 17’’ wheels like you see in the video. When your vehicle was bought from the dealer the buyer probably just upgraded to them. You’re lucky though, they’re much nicer than the 16” ones!
@@jackalproductions2352 Yeah, thanks, just assumed 17" were standard. I bought mine used about 10 years ago so I guess the previous owner upgraded. Nonetheless, 17" look well IMO.
an amazing choice, with high levels of both safety and reliability, as well as minimal depreciation, if you can get your hands on one you can’t go wrong!
Hey, As you reply to comments, I got a question. What should I look for while buying a used 04 4runner that's got a suspension lift? It has 228k miles on it and the owner dictates he has done proper maintenance alongside changing tranny fluid every 40k miles. What are the odds of having one in such high mileage? I don't care about the gas mileage, I need a reliable 4wd vehicle that I count on during difficult times as I'm from Upstate NY where Blizzards are common.
i wouldn’t recommend any vehicle with such high mileage when looking for something you need to depend on. a vehicle like that is still a great buy as a recreational or secondary vehicle, but i think one that has less miles would be a better bet if you truly needed to rely on it
It is impossible to say for certain with new models because they are unproven, but given that the 2022 4Runner has many of the same mechanical parts that have been proven to last in earlier models, I say there is a very high probability the new 4Runners will last 20 years or beyond
@@jackalproductions2352 what are you talking about the 2022 have the same Motor and tranny that they've been using since 2002 Just watch the car care nut channels video on the new 4runner
@@davidaix5771 not entirely accurate, the transmission has changed since 2002. And as for the engine, though it is the same one, it has had many improvements and changes that may affect long term reliability
Yes the v6 they have been use for a long time They have a timing chain instead of a timing belt so just change the oil and the 5 speed transmission is ancient and they've been using that forever too
Hmm, my SR5 has 17" wheels

My 2004 sr5 also came with 17 inch wheels
As a sport sedan owner now that I have a kid I'm thinking about getting one of these. Seems like a perfect SUV for all year around.

What head unit do you have? nice video btw
It’s an aftermarket pioneer system that was put in by the original owner almost right after he bought it. I’m honestly not a huge fan of it
@@jackalproductions2352 dang for sure thanks for the info. I’m looking for a CarPlay Headunit but with the volume knob!!
If i buy a brand new 2022 4Runner and keep it - would still be good in 20yrs from now?

I want one so bad now
no better time to buy than now, i don’t see depreciation affecting these cars much in the future
Great review, is the 2004 Toyota 4Runner a worthy buy in 2024, maybe, around 84,000 miles for $12,000
if you are getting a clean 4Runner below 100k miles at that price i’d say it’s a steal!
👍
I have the 04 but in the VA8 thing gets up and goes smooth ride comfortable couldn’t ask for anything more well you can maybe a happy ending
ok, how the hell are your seats in such good condition. My 2004 4runner limited has the same seats and they have cracks and the driver side is ripped
It has low miles, and most importantly garage kept. It’s crazy how damaging sun can be to leather
Cómo cambiar el cilindro de los frenos
Sí
Je besoin du pare choc du derriere de cette Toyota 4runner
That backseat legroom is a big disappointment
It really is, it’s not the big SUV everyone seems to think/hopes it is
Haha I know that windy road you where on
