  2000 SR5...11 years running - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
  By kimbey2009 - June 5 - 4:22 am

  I bought this SUV used with 106,000 on it back in 2006. So 5 years later I now have 226,000 miles on it and still pretty satisfied with the overall performance. The few complaints would be 1) brake pads/rotor replaced 3 times in 5 years 2) the uneasiness of driving with high winds swirling thus causing the SUV to sway 3) fuel filter replaced 2 times 4) rear axle replaced 3 times 5) power antenna went out 2 times but radio still plays...other than those complaints it has been mechanically sound and I wouldnt doubt it going for another 100,000 miles.

  Reliable - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
  By Chad - March 28 - 10:30 pm

  I have owned my 4runner for 6yrs and have 167,000 miles on it and have done nothing but regular maintenance. It is a little under powered but very reliable. I have been on several trails in Moab and in the Black Hills of SD, (great 4wd system) I have the Sport package with the electronic locker in the rear diff. Toyota has built a very reliable and dependable vehicle with this one.

  4 Runner 4 ever - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
  By Canadian Craig - March 10 - 10:00 am

  This is an awesome vehicle. It looks great, drives great, thrashes around well in the woods and only asks for more fuel in return. I use this truck for your normal highway use but it gets a lot of off road use as well. I have been stuck but its been my fault. As long as the wheels have something to grab, it moves forward. The only complaint would have to be the fuel costs but its better than paying for repairs like the jeep I use to own.

  Great Truck!!! - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
  By BRIAN - February 1 - 3:50 am

  Looks great and is fun to drive around town. It does well off-road with the rear locker. Probably my favorite car so far.

  4 Runner Transmission Problems - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
  By Ken - July 1 - 7:40 pm

  Car was a great car until about 70K. Had a couple little issues. One is a rattle that we have been unable to solve somewhere in Dash. Car is slightly underpowered. V6 strains over those hills when you get any kind of steep roads like Flagstaff, AZ or mountains west of Denver, Etc. Shutting overdrive off helps immensely. At 81K would not come out of 4 wheel drive. Replaced 4x4 actuator in transfer case ($1500). At 90K same problem, dealer says it needs a whole new transfer case costing ($3700). This will now become a 2wd 4 runner until its sold. I am told by dealer Toyota will do nothing. Very disappointed in the quality. Any car that u have major stuff before 120K is a sub par.

  4runner fan - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
  By Greenmile - December 7 - 10:00 am

  Ive had my 4Runner limited for 2 years and havnt had any issues at all. I have taken it out 4 wheeling many times and I was extremely suprised at how well it handles off road. I also commute to work about 80 miles a day. So if your looking for a SUV that looks nice and drives awesome this is the one. I also have a xterra and the 4 runner blows it off the road.

  Reliable, Solid, yet... - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
  By JDBooks - November 14 - 10:00 am

  The 4Runner is solid, but a stiff ride. The interior is more cramped than my old Grand Cherokee but the seats more comfortable. The V6 is adequate for most unless you like power. With a load & passengers, it will seem very slow. No rattles or sqeaks is a tribute to the quality but my pwr antenna went out (warranty) and front floor mat ripped. CD player skips out. Minor problems for what is overall a fine vehicle. Gas mileage is about 14- 15 in town, almost 20 on freeway. Stock Bridgestone tires wear quickly.

  I love it! - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
  By jstew - November 1 - 2:00 am

  I love it. Ive always wanted one, and now that I have had one for the past year, my opinion hasnt changed. I still want it and love driving it. It serves both the desire of luxury and ruggedness. Have compared it to friends Explorer, Durango, Jeep, Bravado, and love the 4runner so much more. It just seems much more "tight" than others.

  Runs Like a Tank - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
  By Tim - October 6 - 8:20 am

  I have had my 4runner since 2002 and have taken it on several cross country trips. It now has over 130,000 miles on it and it has never let me down. I have also taken down the beaches in Mexico and I find myself pulling others out. The only thing other than routine maintenance like a timing belt was I had to replace the starter once. It performs well both on and off road and it cannot be beat for reliability. I would highly recommend this vehicle.

  Bad experience - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
  By BRITTinFL - July 8 - 10:00 am

  I loved my 4-Runner until the right front wheel sheered off at the axle at 50mph, the truck then veered to the right and rolled. I guess its a testimony to the truck also that my passenger and I walked away from the accident. $14,000 in damages, I dont want to drive it any more.....
