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?

Just thinking about getting rid of my 2006 Sierra. It’s needing more and more maintenance lately. I pretty much only drive to work, but I also don’t like riding my kids around it with it and want something more dependable. I put maybe 9-10k miles a year on my truck.

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

We're talking about a Toyota here, and one of the more rugged models. Not a Chrysler.
I thought this thread would be full of guy saying the limit was maybe 150k but a couple would start at 200k.

The power train on a 4Runner is good for 250k minimum if properly maintained.
The styling and features haven’t changed much either so it really would depend on how many miles you are comfortable driving a vehicle to, maintenance records and condition.
I’d also add that used pricing on them at times has been so high relative to purchasing new that I would’ve recommended purchasing a new 4Runner for $40k over a used 4Runner with 50k miles for $34k.

There are 2017 SR5 models with around 90,000 miles that are going for nearly 30k.

Yeah which is why while I can’t recommend Toyota/Lexus enough I don’t think they are always a good deal to buy used, it’s dependent on the model.

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.

As far as miles, I would go as high as 100k-150k. The interior condition is what would matter more to me, as it probably also coorelates with how they performed regular maintenance.

Like other folks have said, you’re probably better off long term, buying new and get the cheapest trim with 4x4 unless you want all the bells and whistles.
With 4Runner soon to go the way of the Dodo bird (my opinion only) re: proven reliability with 2025 model changes, I’m also looking at 4Runners.

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
