Used Toyota 4Runner - what’s the most miles you’d want?

Any ideas for this? Initially I was thinking anything less than 100k miles.

Depends how much you drive. I average about 15k miles a year. Figure I’d keep the vehicle 6-7 years. Thats 90-105k. Wouldn’t buy anything with more than 30-35k miles on it, puts me at 135k when I trade in

What year/engine platform are you considering?

Depends on you and your budget
I’d get the newest cheapest 4wd with <40k miles and drive it forever
There’s no real significant change in the past many years though so newest doesn’t really matter. They all have 270 HP.
I’d get the lowest mileage 4wd with whatever trim level you like for whatever you can afford

What are you going to use it for and how many miles do you need to put on it?

Choose one.
Or the other.
Avoid any with exactly 100k miles.

im at 145k with a 2013. This is about where I would set the line if I were buying one. The interior has held up extremely well (no leather). However, the hood paint is starting to deteriorate and the top coat on the door handles is starting to peel. No mechanical issues. Any used 4runner around my milelage should have new brakes & rotors or needing some.

4 runners are great, I have one. But if you’re just using it to drive to work I’d get something with better gas mileage, like a Honda CR-V

You can typically get a used Lexus GX which has a V8 for around the same price point as a used 4Runner. Either will go over 200k miles with routine maintenance

I will sell you my 2014 with 4WD in the year 2034 when it has 300,000 miles on it.

I have one with 160k miles on it and plan one driving it for 10+ years. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one at that level if it has the maintenance records.

You easily get 300k on a 4Runner if you change your fluids regularly, check the temp, and some other preventative maintenance stuff before you have to replace anything pricey.
If you can find one made before 2010 with low miles, jump on it. They're extremely easy to work on.

I just bought a 2006 SR5 4x4 with 251,000 . Runs smoother than a Singer sewing machine. You can usually tell if one’s been used and abused.

1 owner, maintenance records, no wrecks, I’d buy one at 150k all day. Still another 100k left before a major repair.

I think the current Model Year version of the 4Runner is almost done, so when they inevitably change the engine in the redesign to the Turbo engine, the current models will only be more valuable. I don’t think the turbo engines will be as bulletproof as the current engine.
I was in this predicament last year and just ended up buying a new one since the low mileage used ones were basically the same price.
