I just want to thank the members of this site for their help and insight into the ins and outs of the 2 great 4Runners I’ve owned over the last 15 years. I decided to trade in my 2010 last week on a 2019 Highlander xle hybrid. I know there will be some things I’ll miss, but I’m counting on the...

I’m currently at 271,600 with my 2010 limited. So far a set of tires is the most expensive thing I’ve had to get. I’m on my 3rd battery, replaced one wheel bearing, one set of front brake calipers, front pads and rotors twice, rear once, spark plugs once and windshield once. Other than that...

Currently have 261,000 on my 2010 Limited. Brakes, one caliper, tires, oil—just keeps chugging along. Would like to get 300,000 on it...

Just did spark plugs and front and rear transfers. Next will be front rotors, pads and calipers. Right now I’m at 256,000 and change.

This Is actually my second 4Runner. The first was a 2003 sport model that when I traded it on this one had hit 273,000 miles, and the only reason I got rid of it was the AC went up and was going to cost $3500 to fix. Both had/have the XREAS system and neither failed. And again, I know I am...

Mileage update. My 2010 limited just turned 255,000 miles. So far four tires, two batteries, a windshield, set of brake pads, one wheel bearing and normal oil changes and that’s it. I’m hoping at least to get 300,000 out of it. (Although I probably jinxed myself by bragging.…) In fairness, I...

227,000 on my 2010 Limited. Bought used with 128,000. Other than oil, so far pads and rotors, 4 tires, a few parking lights, a battery and 1 wheel bearing. I'll probably jinx myself by saying this, but I'm hoping to certainly make 300,000 and maybe more. (And by the way, XREAS still going strong).

Weird beeping I apologize in advance for resurrecting an old post, but I had this same issue last night. Sound was faint, and seemingly random--the beeps were all about 1 second apart, sometime a single beep and then quiet for 3 or 4 seconds, then 3 beeps, 3 beeps, quiet, 9 beeps, 1 beep--you...

I guess I'm the outlier here. I had a 2003 Sport with 237,000 on it when I got rid of it and XREAS was still good. I'm currently driving a 2010 Limited with 221,000 miles and, once again, XREAS is leak free. I'm going to be pissed if I just jinxed myself by responding to this post! In both...

Whatever the speed limit is in town--I have no desire to hit a pedestrian or somebody on a bike because I'm in a hurry to get to the grocery--and 10 over the limit on the highway. I love the 4runner ride and at 65 or so, I'm getting about 21 mpg. Not bad for a vehicle of this size.

This thread had me worried, since with 80,000+ miles on a set of Bridgestone duelers, even though there was still acceptable tread, it was time for a new set. Bridgestone had a $70 deal when buying 4, so I pulled the trigger on another set of Alenza plus at the local Firestone shop. The ride...

That's what my 2010 sounds like. Currently 218,000 miles.

I think your ac system needs a charge. The exact thing used to happen with my '03. I didn't believe the mechanic who initially told me that, but it worked. Eventually I started doing the recharges myself. It would last about 4 or 5 months and then I'd hit it again. Apparently had a pinhole...

I personally would pass based not as much on mileage as 2 wheel drive.

I'm thinking you mean "consolation " prize. Spell check strikes again.
