@@mariluzdelacruz9821 My first 4runner was and 2003 Limited. Bought it at 75k miles and traded it in at 205k miles. Wish id never got rid of it. Instantly regretted it when I traded it in.
@@John-hw3ds 🥲, I just got me an 02 SR5 4runner with 250k miles 1 owner, I have heard in about a week from 3 other individuals that I need to get ready to turn down 25k offers lol.
bruh that’s not even the end of it, my buddy’s has almost 600,000 and he said just make sure you always change the oil and timing belt and it’ll last like wth
You Could buy two jeeps with the price of Toyotas. No mention of the complaints of the v6 junk from the 3. Slow to the 3rd gen which has a history of failing. Scotty is not telling the full story
Back in the mid 90s, my team drove a fleet of Nissan pathfinders and 4Runners throughout Latin America. We drove through the jungles, on and off road accumulating 4-5,000 miles a month. These are solid vehicles built to last, but the 4Runner was an exceptional vehicle that withstood some very challenging road and driving conditions. I never drove anything else after retiring from the military.
4Runners (Hilux Surf) and Land Cruisers (all models) when you are deployed overseas. Gotta blend in with the locals. Humvee will stick out and put a giant target on your forehead.
I love my 2003 4runner. 303,000 miles on the 4.7l V8 and still going strong. I bought it used with 281,000 miles. I was very surprised at how well it ran and drove when I test drove it. I hope I get at least another 200,000 miles out of it!
I too have a 2003, 308k miles, she's my everything! The sunroof getting off track and the back glass busting from "overheating defrost" is the only issue, but she's back in action, I've had her 2 years and I'm very impressed .
I've had 5 4Runners over 20 years. ALL are still going strong. The 2003 does have some paint issues but still runs great with 233k miles. The 2005 has no issues at all with 214k miles. I'll drive past the junk yard full of JEEPs to the MAACO shop.
Only bc of longevity but on style Jeep Cherokee could beat it out. Toyota are so bland on style inside and out. Scott must b getting kick backs from Toyota bc he is so promoting them.
@Daniel Large I agree, Toyota’s aren’t very flashy but they are all quite classic looking. Also, I have an 03’ Tundra 214K miles, 05’ corolla 110k miles and a 14’ sequoia 124k miles and I’ll be willing to bet that I have spent less on repairs for all 3 combined than any owner of a Jeep with 150k miles.
@@amcmac7237 And you could easily put another 250k on it. My roommate has a Tacoma with over half a million miles, original engine and transmission. No one does it better than Toyota.
finishing up a 3 month roadtrip with my ‘01 4runner... shes got almost 360k, i started the trip at 347k.. changed the oil twice on the trip and other than that no other problems!
Nice👍 i have a 01 SR5 4wd. Got it with 93k about 4yrs ago..im at 170k with many road trips and plenty of 4wheelin with it. Its a definite winner in my opinion. Ive had 3 Cherokees and a Grand ...put plenty of miles and plenty of trail use...they were nice but 🎶" I Love What You Do For Me Toyota"🎶
I’m looking HARD at buying a 4Runner. I’ve watched 50 videos on the 4Runner over the last week. I’m not finding much to dissuade me and then Scotty goes and makes this gem of a video......... I’m getting in line!
Buy new if you can and if you cannot then just wait the prices have to come down sooner or later but if you buy now and you buy used you will overpay unless of course you are okay with that. We just purchased a 2021 trd off road premium cause the used prices are insane. We traded in two vehicles as well. Crazy times
I couldn't be happier with mine. It runs amazing. My first new vehicle ever and it is just such a nice truck to drive. You can not go wrong with it. Heck, he's right. Look for one from 2016 and save some cash on it. Or even the mid to late 2000's, they were amazing. I would hold off until 2022 as the car market bubble is bursting now.
I have driven both models. A 99 4-runner and a 00 Grand Cherokee. By far the 4-runner was more reliable and comfortable to drive. The Cherokee broke down all the time but it did look cooler I will admit. Toyota makes a better quality product and it’s not even close.
"It's a Jeep thing you wouldn't understand" Oh but I do that's why I drive a Toyota 4Runner lol . Learned as a former shop tech if you work on 4Runners you change oil and brake pads. If you work on Jeeps you change everything.
I still have my 2005 4Runner limited with the V8. The V8 pulls my travel trailer no problem. My 4Runner has just 84,000 miles and I plan to keep it until it dies. It may outlast me.....
I'm considering that very same year and model that has 212K, one owner, garage kept, no beach time, outstanding maintenance through Toyota dealership, and overall immaculate condition. Mom & Pop used dealer asking $9950. It's quite, quite tempting to cut a cheque for that Runner.
My first car was a used 1995 sr5. I've missed it for the last 12 years I drove a car (a 2007 Nissan Sentra which I looooved but the one problem it had in the 12 years we owned it... The transmission finally blew and I had to say goodbye lol). I'm so ready to buy a 4runner again though. I miss it lol my 95 was still getting around with it's new owners last I saw it and it's over 20 years old lol
I love my 2009 Crown Victoria too, my dad bought her from a police auction with 150,000 miles for my 17th birthday:) She now has over 600,000 miles and drives great with the same original equipment, never blew a transmission or had to replace anything besides the oil. I take her for long road trips and replaced the police sport suspension with the more comfortable Mercury grand Marquis suspension and made her look like a civilian car. 😊
You don't know reliability yet lol it's too new . I've got a 97 2nd owner 325 k super reliable. And original owner of a 99 225k best damn vehicle ever. Never stranded, stuck let down in 22yrs. Original drive lines in both. My 99 has out lasted 2ex wives,2fantastic dogs , and 4kids and me too probably lol. And both look great and run better. Better give the yota a name they're more reliable than a family member or a good dog lol.
My 92 Jeep Cherokee xj has 407k and I drive it every day. Scotty should compare the xj and 4runners of corresponding years. Both are badass in my book.
@@fastdude2002 If you own a Jeep you need a backup vehicle.. I have a neighbor across the street and it continuously breaks down and gets trouble and I saw a flatbed come get it 3 days ago.. I'm sure it will be gone in a month or so.😂 I'm sure she will be trading that thing off.
Um no. That would be the Landcruiser but make no mistake the Forerunner and Taco would be right there too. Incredibly tough and reliable! Both survivors!!! In any situation.
I love my 2003 4Runner and really miss my 97 4Runner which was stolen out of my drive way. I've taken both of them on trips and back roads that most people would shy away from for fear of getting stuck. Also, pulled my fair share of Chevy and Ford 4x4s out of the mud. The most fun I have is in 4-wheel Low.
bought my 2005 11k in Texas years ago (no rust one owner) 4x4 v-8 full time AWD with locking center diff .....went to our cabin in mountains in west texas (6300 feet) twice a year.... nasty off road to get to it for over 7 years no problems whatsoever rides smooth on pavement still no rattles whatsoever. It had 99k miles on it when I bought it. Starter and set of new/used (9k miles Beilstein original shocks) off craigslist was the only parts changed. Had a 1986 4x4 V6 before that .... same story ....Zero problems. It was hard for me to find the 2005 4x4 back then ...now days forget it. The 1986 I sold to a neighbor for same price I paid and it went to Guatemala. These are bullet proof absolutely built to last.
@@oliverneal7686 You got a steal. I have the same truck, limited V-8 '05.. paid about 17k eight yrs ago w/130K on it. Love it and at 175k now I've maybe put 3,500 into it.. front hub, bearing, timing belt, brakes, tires & oil changes.
The 3rd gen is the best looking. 4th gen…not so much - but it looks good from some angles. The 5th gen looks almost as good as the 3rd. But the interior styling of the 5th beats them all.
two words - frame rot. When I bought mine two years ago, none. Turns out it was just not yet breaking through. Did not pay a lot of money for it, so deciding what to do.
You can't argue how much easier it is to fix/repair/upgrade 4runners than it is for a jeep grand cherokee. I currently have a gx470, I owned a 2000 wj that stayed having some unexplained issues that weren't easy to trouble shoot, but I loved it. Great video Scotty glad to see you staying with it sir. God bless you.
HEY SCOTTY!!! I have owned Mercedes S Class, Porsche, BMW, Volkswagen, Mazda, Audi... And after 4 consecutive Toyotas (Corolla, Scion xB,1st Gen Tacoma), I'm enjoying the best car I've ever owned, my '07 4runner Sport. I'm 67, and it's just broken in@117K miles, and figure it's gonna out live me.
I own a 2004 4Runner Limited (V8). It has 228,000 miles on it and it runs like new. No failures of any kind other then the radiator, which broke after a long ride down a vicious hard-packed dirt washboard road in northern New Mexico. The vibration was so bad on that road that we actually discussed it in the truck, and sure enough a few days later, the radiator broke. The clutch wore out on my AC compressor, and I replaced the entire compressor myself for $60 by installing a used salvage compressor, which runs like new. I use synthetic fluids throughout. No leaks. Transmission was just flushed and filled - perfect. 2nd timing belt was replaced after it had 124,000 miles on it, and the old belt was in perfect condition. Not one single crack in the rubber, and the teeth still had nice crisp edges. Windows, power seats, Bose stereo, sunroof - all perfect. Personally, I cannot imagine ever driving anything but a 4Runner. It is Toyotas' best vehicle. The Lexus GX470 is built on a 4Runner frame with the same V8 engine. The Toyota Land Cruiser - 4Runner frame and I think the same engine and maybe same trans. Rated to pull 5000 pounds
I have a 06 4runner with the 2UZ in it, I have never loved a car more. That thing has gotten me through CO/WY blizzards and through the desert and across country and it still drives wonderfully and smoothly.
I had a V-8 2014 Grand Cherokee whose engine destroyed itself at 79K miles. It taught me, along with your videos, to buy Japanese only vehicles from here on.
At my most recent oil change at Toyota, I saw a TRD Pro with a dealer markup/ “price adjustment” sticker on the windshield- $61,559 😂😂😂 Nicely done Sith!!!!
2004 Toyota 4Runner and 2016 Lexus ES300h, over 350,000 miles between the both and no major repairs, paid off, and ready for another 350,000 more miles. Thank you Japan and Toyota
I've got a 2004 4-Runner with closing in on 210.000. It's running great. I just replaced the alternator for the first time. Had paint issues on the roof but we do live in extreme heat.
Fiat ruined Jeep! The 2000 was the last year for the decent Cherokee. 2001 all had cracked heads that Jeep would not recall or replace. Biggest consumer ripoff ever! Internal web would crack between Cly. 3 and 4. They admit it was a bad casting and told me too bad, no factory fix! Bought it new. NEVER buying a Jeep again!
Actually bought a 2000 LX470 today. 1 owner. I checked by a Toyota Specialty Shop for advice and oddly they were selling one. They just did a lot of maintenance on it . $4,000 worth.
Yeah just bought a 2007 4runner V8 4x4 limited loaded for 17k 180kmiles loaded with the whole lift and wheel package inside is beautifully clean and love it
I just went through this exact situation. I was buying my wife a new car and we were deciding between a 2020 jeep and 4runner. We ended up choosing the 4runner. We found a used one with 8000 miles for 35000.00. I think that was the best decision I could have made I love our 4Runner
Love my 02 4runner. It’s a very capable and useable vehicle. It recently hit 250k miles and it’s still running, towing and even off-roading great. Me and my wife want to get a new one but decided to keep the 02 instead of trading it in. It’s just a great suv.
I just got me a silver 02 4runner SR5 1 owner with 250k miles for 11k. I think the price is outrageous but it being a Toyota and I have had Toyota before, all solid vehicles. I'm happy though its just so simple and easy to work on! Any other vehicle I would have gotten I'd of spent between 17 to 28k on a ford or nissan for work. How is the gas mileage? Probably not the best lol its a little tank
LOVE MY 2002 4 RUNNER LIMITED 196,+++ BEEN DRIVING IT FOR 12 YEARS, BOUGHT IT FOR $8K. GAVE MY 1996 4 RUNNER TO MY SON-IN-LAW, STILL DRIVING IT TO WORK EVERYDAY. 1996 BEEN THRU 3 ACCIDENTS, FEW NEW PARTS GOOD AS NEW. NEVER WANT TO DRIVE ANYTHING ELSE.
The 4th gen 4.7 V8 will be legendary. There will never be another 4Runner like. Full time 4WD same engine and drive train as the Land Cruiser 100 series with atrac also soft closing rear hatch.
My 2004 Toyota is still running awesome. I purchased it new. It is our primary vehicle and has given me no trouble. It also still looks great with the Galactic Grey color. Best vehicle purchase ever!
2017, 18, 19 4runners going for about 32k+ right now. 25k with over 100000 miles trade in value. I just got one. And thats just the SR5. I couldn't find a TRD under 38k with less than 70k miles. I wish I got mine for 25k...thats a steal.
Hey Scotty I am partial to the Jeep Grand Cherokee since I’ve owned a couple. Although I’m hearing your wisdom about the Toyota brand. If I find a four runner I’ll give it a go. Love your show brother. Keep on rocking the house of CARS. THANKYOU.
It's worth at least 10gs now. Today's market. Drive by a Toyota dealership there is literally no new 4 Runners. And the used ones with plus 100000 miles are selling for 20 grand and up. You got a good deal keep it 4ever
I bought a 2005 4Runner with 328,xxx miles on it and it runs exceptionally strong and smooth. One of the best vehicles I've owned (around 100) in the past (40) years. Very few issues. Mainly faded paint and worn front struts/springs. I will most definitely buying another one for my wife!
4Runner as one of your subscriber's mentioned 4Ever and again as another fan of yours indicated it has proven to be a mini Land Cruiser in terms of reliability, confort, on/off road manners and most importantly the amount of love, loyalty and dedication that it has created among its fans since its introduction in the mid eighties to date. Talking of jeeps, I really believe the only one worth considering on your list Scotty is the XJ Cherokee 84'-01 with its bulletproof 4.0 six! An all time capable, boxy and sexy Jeep for all seasons!
I love my 2007 4Runner. It is the most reliable car I have ever owned. Of course, I have changed the oil regularly every 3k-5k miles (depending on driving conditions) and have had zero mechanical issues. Only problem has been a water leak that developed a yr ago just below the windshield wipers, but does not involve the window itself. Rain water dribbles onto floor board - especially if parked with frontend on decline. I live in TX and car gets parked in full sun all day while at work - 15 yrs. I have found other posters with the same issue. Hard plastic part becomes warped, brittle and no longer seals water out of the cabin. Other than that, the car is wonderful and still performs great! Will probably buy another 4Runner in 2023. Bought new / best purchase ever!
@@veex9168- 👍 , steal of a deal in this used car crisis. I test drove a 15 Tacoma pre runner that had 115,000 on it and they wanted 26,000!!!! It sold next day!
Hey Scotty, I just had to replace the radiator on my 05 4.0 V6. It was overheating in idle so I changed the thermo and the rad cap and when I did that, drove it about 30 miles. When I got to where I was going, I shut off the car and there was smoke coming from under the hood. The pressure in the radiator had built up with the new cap and popped off the reservoir hose and was spraying coolant vapor all over over my engine, hence the smoke. I then reconnected the hose with a hose clamp, topped off the coolant and drove it home. It had gotten so hot by the time I got home, that the coolant had melted through the radiator cap housing and was shooting out the side. 30 miles on little to no coolant on the freeway and when I changed the radiator that was the ONLY problem. She runs so smooth now. I CANNNOT BELIEVE it didn't blow a head. I thought for sure I fucked it. Toyota for life man
@@grantandrews7588 I honestly got lucky, I was searching back in 2018 and found it on off lease for 28k. When I saw that price I called them immediately and scheduled the test drive that same day, and later bought it. When I got it, it had a few stains and smelled like cigarette smoke inside. It used to be owned by hertz.
An old 4Runner is simply one of the most agreeable and reliable vehicles on Earth. I have an 18 year old V8 and while it's nothing special to look at and doesn't handle particularly well, out of the 20 or so cars I have owned during my life it's my favorite. Unpretentious and ridiculously capable over any terrain on the planet. A great silky smooth mile-killer on long road trips too.
@@buckhorncortez key word "perhaps" , maybe is the type of person that rarely is satisfied with his-her decisions because is always looking to achieve more, also Toyota is petty hard to beat, the kind of product most of the time you are happy with it
I have a 2003 4Runner that I wouldn't sell for anything. It has 245,000 miles and other than regular maintenance hasn't cost me a dime. I love this SUV.
4 Runner all day long! My personal favorite that I had is is the 3rd Gen 97 model. Just an overall all great vehicle with that classic look. I now have a 5th gen. I chose to get the preface model due to the 3rd gen look. Love that square look. Who else makes a body on frame SUV.....that is reliable 🤔
I own a 2005 limited v 8 model with 186000. Recently I lifted it 3" and put 33s on it with 1.5 spacers. It has original ball joints and half shafts. I've only done brakes, exhaust,and an alternator. I love it.
I own a 96 Jeep grand Cherokee lerado 5.2 liter engine 4x4 low and all wheel drive high. I've put 235k miles on the engine and only had to go some valve cover gaskets and a coolant pump. But I decided to do the timing chain it's very simple. Cost 45 bucks. Other than that keep it maintained and it will last a very long time.
Except for the interior that falls apart like it's its job all the way up to the limited trim Jeep Grand Cherokee 06 that I owned the 4.7L V8 four-wheel drive all time door panels CD player power windows absolutely everything inside of that car fell apart it was ridiculous.
99 4runner here, I bought it 6 yrs ago for a rig ride (oilfield), I've got 280,000 and the interior is kinda messed up but this thing became my daily driver and it's crazy to see 3rd gens go for 5000 to 7500 in decent shape. Also had a grand Cherokee 04 and it was garbage
Aside from the occasional rust, my 2003 4Runner V8 Limited has been a great vehicle both on and off road. I've recently repainted it, upgraded the suspension and made sure to stay current on all maintenance. My retirement toy runs like a 4.7L sewing machine sitting on top of 285-60-18's.
I got an 02 4runner had it for 6 yrs and bought it used with 90k miles and ive put almost 200k on it still running strong not great on gas but its reliable as it gets only been stranded once when the solenoid gear snapped off the starter. (Original factory part that had about 220k on it). Its by far the best vehicle I've ever owned.
4Runner is my cup of tea. My 97’ 3rd gen has never failed me, and being a 24 year old vehicle and having 350,000km, it still turns some heads and numerous other Toyota enthusiasts have stopped me just to talk about it! Cheers!

Only bc of longevity but on style Jeep Cherokee could beat it out. Toyota are so bland on style inside and out. Scott must b getting kick backs from Toyota bc he is so promoting them.
Yeah but man that HP of the jeep is so tempting!
What Jeeps are we talking about? Because you’ll have a hard time not finding 90s and early 00s Grands with under 200k
@Daniel Large I agree, Toyota’s aren’t very flashy but they are all quite classic looking. Also, I have an 03’ Tundra 214K miles, 05’ corolla 110k miles and a 14’ sequoia 124k miles and I’ll be willing to bet that I have spent less on repairs for all 3 combined than any owner of a Jeep with 150k miles.

same here man. just got to find the right price
You cant go wrong!! We traded in our 2008 model with 50 thousand miles back in 2016 for a new one and got 15000 trade in value.
Buy new if you can and if you cannot then just wait the prices have to come down sooner or later but if you buy now and you buy used you will overpay unless of course you are okay with that. We just purchased a 2021 trd off road premium cause the used prices are insane. We traded in two vehicles as well. Crazy times
I couldn't be happier with mine. It runs amazing. My first new vehicle ever and it is just such a nice truck to drive. You can not go wrong with it. Heck, he's right. Look for one from 2016 and save some cash on it. Or even the mid to late 2000's, they were amazing. I would hold off until 2022 as the car market bubble is bursting now.
don't look past the 5th gen sr5 it's a cheaper buy with atrac that can get you pretty much anywhere a rear locker can
I have driven both models. A 99 4-runner and a 00 Grand Cherokee. By far the 4-runner was more reliable and comfortable to drive. The Cherokee broke down all the time but it did look cooler I will admit. Toyota makes a better quality product and it’s not even close.

You can't argue how much easier it is to fix/repair/upgrade 4runners than it is for a jeep grand cherokee.

I own a 2004 4Runner Limited (V8). It has 228,000 miles on it and it runs like new. No failures of any kind other then the radiator, which broke after a long ride down a vicious hard-packed dirt washboard road in northern New Mexico. The vibration was so bad on that road that we actually discussed it in the truck, and sure enough a few days later, the radiator broke. The clutch wore out on my AC compressor, and I replaced the entire compressor myself for $60 by installing a used salvage compressor, which runs like new. I use synthetic fluids throughout. No leaks. Transmission was just flushed and filled - perfect. 2nd timing belt was replaced after it had 124,000 miles on it, and the old belt was in perfect condition. Not one single crack in the rubber, and the teeth still had nice crisp edges. Windows, power seats, Bose stereo, sunroof - all perfect. Personally, I cannot imagine ever driving anything but a 4Runner. It is Toyotas' best vehicle. The Lexus GX470 is built on a 4Runner frame with the same V8 engine. The Toyota Land Cruiser - 4Runner frame and I think the same engine and maybe same trans. Rated to pull 5000 pounds
I have a 06 4runner with the 2UZ in it, I have never loved a car more. That thing has gotten me through CO/WY blizzards and through the desert and across country and it still drives wonderfully and smoothly.

4Runner as one of your subscriber's mentioned 4Ever and again as another fan of yours indicated it has proven to be a mini Land Cruiser in terms of reliability, confort, on/off road manners and most importantly the amount of love, loyalty and dedication that it has created among its fans since its introduction in the mid eighties to date. Talking of jeeps, I really believe the only one worth considering on your list Scotty is the XJ Cherokee 84'-01 with its bulletproof 4.0 six! An all time capable, boxy and sexy Jeep for all seasons!
I love my 2007 4Runner. It is the most reliable car I have ever owned. Of course, I have changed the oil regularly every 3k-5k miles (depending on driving conditions) and have had zero mechanical issues. Only problem has been a water leak that developed a yr ago just below the windshield wipers, but does not involve the window itself. Rain water dribbles onto floor board - especially if parked with frontend on decline. I live in TX and car gets parked in full sun all day while at work - 15 yrs. I have found other posters with the same issue. Hard plastic part becomes warped, brittle and no longer seals water out of the cabin. Other than that, the car is wonderful and still performs great! Will probably buy another 4Runner in 2023. Bought new / best purchase ever!

Hey Scotty, I just had to replace the radiator on my 05 4.0 V6. It was overheating in idle so I changed the thermo and the rad cap and when I did that, drove it about 30 miles. When I got to where I was going, I shut off the car and there was smoke coming from under the hood. The pressure in the radiator had built up with the new cap and popped off the reservoir hose and was spraying coolant vapor all over over my engine, hence the smoke. I then reconnected the hose with a hose clamp, topped off the coolant and drove it home. It had gotten so hot by the time I got home, that the coolant had melted through the radiator cap housing and was shooting out the side. 30 miles on little to no coolant on the freeway and when I changed the radiator that was the ONLY problem. She runs so smooth now. I CANNNOT BELIEVE it didn't blow a head. I thought for sure I fucked it. Toyota for life man

An old 4Runner is simply one of the most agreeable and reliable vehicles on Earth. I have an 18 year old V8 and while it's nothing special to look at and doesn't handle particularly well, out of the 20 or so cars I have owned during my life it's my favorite. Unpretentious and ridiculously capable over any terrain on the planet. A great silky smooth mile-killer on long road trips too.
I have a 2017 fourrunner I love it! No problems at all.
I love my Runner. My 93 had 270K on it when I sold her.. And she is still kicking around.. I now have a 2016 Limited and love it soo much!
Had a mid 90’s 4Runner in college loved that thing so reliable plus helped with the ladies lol
Really glad I bought my 4Runner a few years ago.
Bought my 2020 TRD ORP in January 2020. Perhaps the most wise decision I’ve made in years.
Well...that doesn't say much about your ability to make decisions...
@@buckhorncortez key word "perhaps" , maybe is the type of person that rarely is satisfied with his-her decisions because is always looking to achieve more, also Toyota is petty hard to beat, the kind of product most of the time you are happy with it
@@buckhorncortez I should have said most wise vehicle purchase decision I’ve made in years.
@@buckhorncortez Ask what he payed for it then you might understand
@@FirstnameLastname-vy2dg My 2020 SR5P OTD Price was $39,500. :) Pretty happy with that. And it was def the most wise decision I ever made!
I have a 2003 4Runner that I wouldn't sell for anything. It has 245,000 miles and other than regular maintenance hasn't cost me a dime. I love this SUV.
Just got myself a 05 Sport Edition. 150k miles and runs great. Crazy to think it’s an almost 20 year old truck.
If you are working on something that you really care about, you don't have to be pushed.
4 Runner all day long! My personal favorite that I had is is the 3rd Gen 97 model. Just an overall all great vehicle with that classic look. I now have a 5th gen. I chose to get the preface model due to the 3rd gen look. Love that square look. Who else makes a body on frame SUV.....that is reliable 🤔
Well we made it to Friday Scotty beam me up BROTHER 😁😲🧰🙌👍🍺
The history of the 4runner Scotty is able to dig up is gold!
I own a 2005 limited v 8 model with 186000. Recently I lifted it 3" and put 33s on it with 1.5 spacers. It has original ball joints and half shafts. I've only done brakes, exhaust,and an alternator. I love it.
I own a 96 Jeep grand Cherokee lerado 5.2 liter engine 4x4 low and all wheel drive high. I've put 235k miles on the engine and only had to go some valve cover gaskets and a coolant pump. But I decided to do the timing chain it's very simple. Cost 45 bucks. Other than that keep it maintained and it will last a very long time.
Except for the interior that falls apart like it's its job all the way up to the limited trim Jeep Grand Cherokee 06 that I owned the 4.7L V8 four-wheel drive all time door panels CD player power windows absolutely everything inside of that car fell apart it was ridiculous.
@@JesusNOTreLIEgion to me personally, the XJ was the last real Jeep
Never had the luxury of choosing based on features. Just please run for a while!! 4 Runner, red or black with big chunky tires!!
mine is a RED 2019 with those fat off road tires. The tires are noisy but they look good.
99 4runner here, I bought it 6 yrs ago for a rig ride (oilfield), I've got 280,000 and the interior is kinda messed up but this thing became my daily driver and it's crazy to see 3rd gens go for 5000 to 7500 in decent shape. Also had a grand Cherokee 04 and it was garbage
Aside from the occasional rust, my 2003 4Runner V8 Limited has been a great vehicle both on and off road. I've recently repainted it, upgraded the suspension and made sure to stay current on all maintenance. My retirement toy runs like a 4.7L sewing machine sitting on top of 285-60-18's.
I got an 02 4runner had it for 6 yrs and bought it used with 90k miles and ive put almost 200k on it still running strong not great on gas but its reliable as it gets only been stranded once when the solenoid gear snapped off the starter. (Original factory part that had about 220k on it). Its by far the best vehicle I've ever owned.
That’s funny, I got my ‘02 6 years ago with 91k miles too! Still as much fun to drive as when I bought it!
1994 4Runner here, 5 speed manual, 4WD, dark green color with tan leather interior, sun roof, 200k on the 3.slow V6
slow but last forever it you change oil 3k miles.
I have a 2015 4Runner and Toyota did a recall on the driver side airbag in 2019 and replaced it. It took about 2 hours.
Nicely done, Scotty! One small thing, though: The "A" in NHTSA stands for "Administration," and not "association." 'Love your channel!
4Runner is my cup of tea. My 97’ 3rd gen has never failed me, and being a 24 year old vehicle and having 350,000km, it still turns some heads and numerous other Toyota enthusiasts have stopped me just to talk about it! Cheers!
412,000 on my 97
