Getting close to 184K, no issues other then a loose heat shield above muffler I need to fix. Great truck, gonna go the distance with this one.

I just ran into this issue with my 2004 4runner, does the muffler have to be dropped to re-bolt the heat shield up? The noise is driving me nuts but having this problem on a vehicle with 184000K almost makes me happy because its minor, lol. Best truck ever!

WOW, that is very low miles for the year. I have 183K on my 2004 Sr5. Just know it will run like new for another 100K easy, lol.

I drive a 2004 SR5 V6 that just recently hit 183K with no major issues or repairs. I get 17.7 mpg according to the trip comp. on avg. I do mostly highway driving 40 miles round trip to work everyday. I bought this truck at 159K and it has never let me down or not started. I plan to take it well...

WHAT he said!! I have a local mechanic that was referred to me by coworkers & I got BOTH cv axles including inner/outer boots fixed for $300 total. It's a lot of work to just replace a boot that's why we suggest going ahead and replacing the entire axle so you don't have to worry about it again...

I bought my 2004 from a reputable Toyota dealer locally & have been extremely happy with it. Like the previous post stated make sure to ask for records & get a good history on the vehicle prior to purchase. I bought my 2004 Sr5 4WD with 159,000 miles & now have 171,000 without ANY issues, just...

I use Mobil 5000 high mileage since I have 171K on the motor & so far so good. I don't think it matters WHAT oil you choose as long as you change it regularly because they are all made to extend the life of your engine. I trust Mobil as I have used it for years without an issue. I have used a...

I just returned from a 2600 mile trip from Delaware to Tenn/FL & back. I left with 168,500 mile on my truck & returned with over 171,000. There was NO problems while on this journey & never felt like my truck was going to let me down. I towed a 6X12 UHAUL weighing in at 3500lb for about 1200...

I know this a well known fact when it comes to Toyota but I wanted to make a thread about it because so far every Toyota I've owned has been VERY dependable & I think Toyota deserves some kudos for making such great products. I have had a 2006 Tacoma (no issues from 64K to 102K) & now own a 2007...

Usually when it comes to recalls, unless it has been an issue on my truck or it's a major safety issue I toss it. Like the pedal recall when I had my Tacoma, I never had any issues with it & my floor mat never interfered with it so I said F*** it. My 4runner has been nothing but perfect since I...

thnx for all info!

Hello all, I have a question about towing in a 2004 V6 4runner since I have not done so before. I previously had a 2006 Tacoma with the same V6 in which I towed in 4th gear through mountains instead of 5th to prevent gear hunting. I am curious if having it in 4th gear or DRIVE in the 4runner...

I understand what you mean, it is risky driving to far as I've done it myself & it didn't pan out. I do a lot of research online & only shop at dealers (although they might not always be honest obviously) & don't shop at any joe schmo buy here pay here place. I also would do a carfax & ask if...

As others have said it is wise to do a very thorough look over of the vehicle & ensure it was taken care of well in the past with documented maintenance etc. Also, if you look outside your area you will have a lot more options & with the right deal for the right truck, a road trip home in it is...

I have only had my V6 for about 8 months so far but it seems more then adequate for daily use & based on my experience towing a 6X12 Uhaul trailer packed full in the past with a Tacoma & same engine I'm going to say it's up to the task to do so. Is it going to be fast? Heck no, but it will do...
