  Versatility and Value. Will last 4ever. - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
  By PD - December 21 - 8:13 am

  Why spend 13 grand on a 2000 Toyota? Theres simply no vehicle out there like it. Incredibly versatile. 4 door, 4wd, V6, manual tranny (i might look at a new one if they still offered the stick), decent gas mileage (way better than the Jeep I used to drive), composed on the highway, QUIET for an SUV, really comfortable sport seats, laughs at the snow, and of course Toyota reliability. The build quality is ridiculous. 8 years old and no rattles or squeaks. Almost feels like a convertible with the windows down, the tailgate window down, and the sunroof open. I paid a lot more than I would have for a 2000 Explorer, but compare it to a new 4Runner and its a no-brainer. Will go forever.

  Very Happy - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
  By casterca - November 11 - 10:00 am

  I bought mine brand new, and it still drives like I just drove it off the lot. While putting 75K miles on it, Ive had minimal problems. Had to replace power antenna, and the CD player just quit working one day. As for how it drives, no other SUV in its category comes close. If you choose the 4Runner, you wont be dissapointed.

  Dont miss Explorer... - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
  By P L - October 10 - 2:00 am

  I bought this to replace my 98 Explorer. There is no comparison between the two. My 4Runner feels like a bank vault in comparison, and is just a nicer, better vehicle in almost every way, except the auto 4x4 which I miss using (but not fixing). I passed up new baby SUVs and newer domestics that cost the same so I could get Toyota quality and a real truck. I was really burned on my Explorer as it was constantly in the shop. Lesson learned.

  2000 LTD 4WD 4Runner - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
  By gknuck - August 18 - 3:46 pm

  This is our second 4Runner. The first was a 1990 SR5 with 167,000 miles on it. We sold it when we moved to Florida. Kept the 2000 model and its got 90,000 miles on it now and still runs like new. We bought it used with 21,000 miles on it in 2002. Its been a great vehicle just like the 90 was. Wished we hadnt sold the 90 4Runner now. We bought it with 70,000 miles on it (90 4Runner). Were currently looking to buy another one for a second car. Most likely another 2000 or 2001.

  Back to a Toyota - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
  By Carl - June 11 - 10:30 am

  Bought my 2000 4Runner XR5 in 2009 with a little over 100,000 miles on it. After "experimenting" with a Ford Expedition (Junk) and Chevy Suburban (actually not a bad vehicle), I am glad to be back to Toyota. Styling is timeless and it runs like a top. My only complaint is that it is underpowered. Although it has a 5000 lb tow rating, it labors to pull my 2,500 lb boat, especially going up hills. Other than that, it has been a great vehicle.

  This is a fantastic vehicle; only suggested improvement is a larger gas tank.

  8 years and going strong - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
  By toyotofan - February 18 - 4:00 am

  Bought new in 2000 and never had a problem with it except when I had to replace the battery in the keyless remote. Oh, and when the car battery (finally) died a few months ago (it lasted almost 8 years!!). Great if you really need 4WD and road clearance. I put it in 4WD daily on our mountain road. We love our 4Runner. My husband wants to buy me a new vehicle, but Im not ready to give this one up! Conservative dash, no bling. Boring stereo, cd player skips on curves and mountain roads.

  Awesome SUV - 2000 Toyota 4Runner
  By bj - September 16 - 5:40 am

  I ordered a Highlander (Sport) model with the TRD supercharger in late 1999 and have owned this ever since. It still rides like new, the car looks awesome with the hood scoop. I have not seen a better looking SUV. The newer 4Runners have too much cladding. This body style is very clean looking. Not the most powerful SUV but very quick. You cant beat Toyota reliability. Excluding maintenance costs, I have spent $0 repairs since purchasing the car.
