  • Great, but.... - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    Current mileage just under 91K. All of the vehicles I drive last well over 100k miles. This one has been perfect with under $115 of repairs excluding disposables. $299 tune-up $495 Preventative timing belt change It has however, had the engine shut down at idle twice now. Once, the fuel filter was replaced, and the 2nd time the authorized service center could not duplicate it.

  • Solid - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I purchased my 4Runner brand new and have owned it for 3 1/2 years and 43000 miles. The truck is as tight as the day I drove it off the lot. Ive had ZERO problems. In addition, this is by far the best looking SUV produced in the 2000 model year. I highly recommend this truck to anyone looking for a preowned SUV between $15K and $20K.

  • Best SUV owned yet! - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I have always heard of the uncompareable Toyota quality. Well after selling my wifes 97 Accord we bought a 2000 4Runner Limited 4wd. Performs very well offroad, pulls our Sea Doo jet boat well. I will be buying a Toyota Land Cruiser myself as soon as my BMW is sold. Again, an awesome vehicle, highly recommend!

  • It Still Works But Required Work - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    I bought this SUV in 2003 as a carpool car that could handle the NE winter, and ski trips to VT. It had Toyota 2nd hand warranty. 2 immediate problems: car stalled when accelerator punched (once on the Whitestone Bridge!), and parking gear did not engage (almost rolled off of a cliff!). Both were dangerous and the dealer only IDd the second problem (both had numerous complaints). At 140,000 miles: paint job failing on rear hatch (no fix), bumper rusted out ($1000+ at dealer), replaced air sensor twice ($450 each at dealer) and inside tire rod ends ($70 at non- dealer part store).

  • Could be better - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    Toyota quality is great and they sure use it on this 4Runner. The transmission is great and strong. When the gear shift, you will feel the quality product. This is my third Toyota and every one ran forever.

  • Tough and Reliable - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    Ive had my 4runner for only a month now but already I see what a great car. It has smooth steering a great ride. But the acceleration house power could be better. Its is very offroad capable. It has conquered everything Ive thrown at with ease. I suggest if you want a SUV that looks good on and off the road that can get you where you need to go no matter where it is in the city or out in the country get an SR5 4x4. But, if you need an SUV that is just for off roading Id suggest a Chevy Tahoe Z71

  • Dogs are much happier now... - 2000 Toyota 4Runner

    Go with the best and get a 4Runner. Get anything else and settle for less. We throw our dogs in the back and everyones happy. Toyotas run forever. I just sold my 92 Toyota pickup with 175,000 miles on it. I expect our 4Runner will prove just as reliable!

  • Best car I have ever owned - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
    By -

    6 years old and 69K miles with no problems. Great car, powerful and reliable. very roomy. All I had to do was change the tires and replace a lightbulb. This car will run forever.
