Fun fact: when I was in college, I had a friend who owned one of these. Years earlier, she had been messing around with friends and they rolled it over in wet grass. They got it back on its wheels and *drove it home.* She then drove it around - FOR YEARS - with dents on the roof but otherwise perfectly fine. I personally drove it 500 miles from Atlanta to Savannah and back, no issues.

@@leum9787 Yeah, I understand your point, like he had some questions about a Ferrari, the Lamborghini, and a couple of cars written in a foreign language. That makes sense. But what we're talking about are common sense things, that even advertising and brochures and manuals specifically point out and mention. He once had what I thought was a really weird question about a tape deck function, and I wondered, "how could he possibly NOT know what that's for"? But then I realized his age and figured he's probably never had a car, or anything else, with a tape cassette. Still kinda odd to me, but I can understand that. But a lot of other things, even without actually knowing their function, can be figured out just by thinking about it for a second. I've done that in many of his vids. Sometimes I can assume its function before he even mentions it, and on some more obscure things, I can usually figure out what they do while he's rambling on about them. And I'm not saying this to sound smart, I'm saying it because almost all of them are common sense. I think it's his "schtick" learn about most of the oddities and interesting things about a car, then start talking. When he comes across something he didnt specifically prepare for, he just keeps talking and acts like it's something really unusual. Maybe he does it to make his vids more interesting, maybe to get people to comment and "engage" (a word that KZitem is always talking about to help your channel). I really dont know. I dont hate him for it, nor am I really criticizing him about it, just mentioning it because it seems odd. That's all.

Dad had the pedal almost to the floor trying to get her and my mom to the hospital in time, and later he said he was going like 101mph. But my sister came early and she was born right there in the front passenger seat, literally right in the center of the road dividing the two counties. Our family was too big for the van after that and we junked it the next year. We got a 2005 Honda Odyssey after that and have since driven it a quarter of a million miles. So that's my little story.

Best combination for reliability is Japanese designed and american built. That's why Hondas are great. They are designed by people with practicality and reliability in mind and made by Americans with pride. Edit for all the insecure confrontational American hating clowns. I am in no way saying anyone else builds a bad car. I'm simply saying that Asians design good manufacturing processes and we do a good job following the processes in America. That doesn't mean anyone else is doing bad. So grow TF up and quit making everything and argument and confrontation.

2 other things to note about these are that it has a non-interference motor. So if you blow a timing belt, you only have to re-time it and put a new belt on, no damage to the head. If you have issues with power windows and lock functions, check the wires in the driver's door jam, they commonly break there

I will go on record and say this was one of the greatest vehicles ever made. My parents bought our 5-speed manual 2000 Toyota 4Runner SR5 brand new. As of last month, it has 450,000 miles on it on the original engine! I learned how to drive on it as did my sister, it took us both to college, it’s taken us on countless vacations all over the US and Canada and it never skipped a beat. If you have one of these, do not let it go. Years from now it will have a charm that many people overlook when a vehicle is somewhat new: nostalgia. My mom is adamant that regardless of how tired our 4Runner may get, we are never selling it.

I have driven it all over the country and aside from basic maintenance such as oil changes and repairs as parts literally wear out (most recently a rear wheel bearing), it just won't quit. They are so easy to work on and I have learned so much from doing my own repairs on her over the years, from those oil changes to water pumps, timing belts, AC compressor, alternator, the aforementioned wheel bearing (I just bought a salvage axle and saved a ton of time and $). Next up is the valve cover gaskets! 3rd Gen 4Runner fam for life. I will never sell it.

My friend recently purchased one of these used. 2001, SR5, 2WD, base cloth interior with the 5VZ-FE engine... and almost 290,000 miles. Once I drove it, I immediately fell in love with it. The front cloth seats are unnaturally comfortable, the dash gauges and controls are everything you need, and nothing you don't. Folding the rear seats flat basically turns it into a covered short bed pickup. Despite the mileage, it still runs phenomenally well, and will most likely make it past 500,000 miles with regular maintenance. Truly one of the best vehicles I've ever driven. Edit, over 1 year later. After multiple failed sales and people who "leased" the 4Runner from my friend, and him trying his absolute hardest to kill it, I purchased it for a whopping $600. There's now over 304,000 miles on the odometer and the V6 still sings happily, though I'll be changing the fluids and plugs soon. the radiator leaks, but it holds temp fine (I will be replacing this though). there was a CEL from an evap code, which eventually stopped appearing. I used it to move out of my last semester of college, with crap packed all the way to the roof and I had to use my side mirrors only. I used it to move out of an apartment as well. These trucks are that one friend who is always there for you, no matter what.

About that spoiler; it's purpose was to direct air down behind the car and decrease the low-pressure zone behind the car. This keeps dust from settling on the rear window and harming visibility. I live in a rural area and almost all vehicles (SUV's, school busses, etc.) that have a flat back have a spoiler like this to control gravel dust.

I can't even watch those anymore. They're all the same, all boring, and all soul-less vehicluar appliances. That said, I'd still buy a Hemi Challenger w/manual.

Thanks a lot, Doug. Thanks to you I went and bought a '98 3.4L 5-speed. I've had five 4Runners and a couple of Land Cruisers and this video rekindled my love of them. 340,000kms (recent timing belt/water pump/battery), 2" suspension lift, two sets of tires and rims. Needs some minor TLC but it was $4000!

Same! One I'm getting soon has a small dent and that's all the TLC it needs! 230k mile 2002 SR5 4Runner for $5000 which is crazy with how the market is right now!

Loved everything about owning one. These just feel so robust and the visibility is amazing.

The visibility great! The driving position feels great, considering your not in a huge truck, but it feels like one.

Well I can’t pass up on commenting this: drove our ‘99 4Runner Limited from Oregon to Ushuaia, Argentina over 15 months. Shipped it home from Buenos Aires to Jacksonville, FL and drove it cross country back to our garage in Portland, OR. Drove her to the mailbox yesterday. 205,000 miles and still running strong.

The real reason why 4Runners have legendary reliability: Toyota never allowed Americans to manufacture them, only Japan plants make them.

@@FD-rh6tr if it's your "check engine" light, mine goes off about every 200-500kms in the warm weather. It's an evap system leak (P0442,P0446), and has zero effect on the motor. Toyota told me to save the $$ trying to find the issue (notoriously tough to suss out) and just cover it with electrical tape if I got tired of resetting it with my OBDII reader lol
