I have a 2000 runner with 204000 miles. It has a 5 speed with a toytec ultimate lift kit. It. Needs nothing and I love it. I also have a 2006 limited all wheel drive with the 4.7 v8. It has 155000 miles and is totally stock. It is a rocket on wheels. Both runners are up to date with all maintenance.
Which one should I keep? If I kept the 2006 I would lift it.

Keep them both! That's what I did.

Answer kinda depends on what you DO with the vehicle, what you expect it to do, what you're willing to compromise on and why you're selling.

please provide a bit of background concerning what your goals are, for what the sale should accomplish, and your goals for whichever vehicle you keep. for instance, are you strictly wanting to reduce payments, or...is there an issue with parking, or do you want an all-in-one DD + trail-ready vehicle? given they're both in good shape, they should sell but you would get more for the '06, presumably.

I’d keep the 4th gen V8 no doubt

that's excellent. that made me laugh.

you will get more resale for the v8. If you don't need to tow often. Keep the lifted stick shift 3Rd gen 4runner and put a supercharger in it with the money you get from the sale of the 4th gen. It will be a blast driving it daily or offroading.

I would use as a daily driver, some light offroading and trips to ski and an occasional trip to mexico to fish. I have 3 suv's and am going to get a truck. The runners are paid off so no payments. I have a Lincoln navigator for family trips but it is way to nice to tow or go to remote parts of mexico without worrying about theft or damage.
I realize the 2006 in worth more but not much more. I would use the proceeds from the sale of the 2000 to lift the 2006. That is if I keep it. Thanks for all the replies.

I'd probably keep the 4th gen. Lower miles, newer, v8. If you really love the 3rd gen and the 5 speed, sell the 4th gen and supercharge the 3rd gen.

Well you posted in the 3rd Gen section.... so keep the 3rd Gen!!!

good point.

I wish I had an extra 3rd gen while my current 3rd gen is down due to having to replace my transmission.

[Reinout]

We kept both the 3rd gen and 4th gen for the following:

3rd gen has been trustworthy and reliable and we take this into the woods: if we put a scratch on it (or a dent) it'll be a bummer but I won't lose sleep over it. Also great for parking at the train station so if someone dings it we'll be okay.

4th gen has many less miles and we trust it for towing our Scamp trailer (2k lbs I know the 3rd gen can do it too). We know it'll be reliable in the long run.

We own both of them outright and the only costs on them are maintenance and government fees.

Nothing wrong with keeping both. I seem to have quite the fleet. Everyone needs a hobby..

Add synthetic oil to 3rd gen engine and replace oil and filter once a year. I do that to my LC and 1990 Hilux. Once you sell a truck that you love and built, man trust me you will regret it. Get state minimum insurance on the 3rd gen and that should be about $200 for an year.

You got a 5 speed and you will never get to drive a real man's truck if you let go of it. I would say you will spend $400 a year if you keep it.
