My wife has a 2003 Taurus...unbelievably awesome car. We put 200 K on her 1st Taurus with only maintenance (until we lost a freeze plug). Her 2nd Taurus has 100 K and is going strong. As to what is hurting American car manufacturers...pretty simple...the Unions suck a big one! We all know...

hey- that is a good article....thanks for posting... imo, the 3rd gen not only performs awesome, but looks awesome...the lines are just right...not too fancy... that's why I am hunting for an 01-02 Sport...instead of the 4th gen...would love their electronics and the 4 Liter V6 though!

just a questions...what is the deal if a 4runner costs $ 10 K US here...what does it take to get it into Canada...duty...shipping...etc...another $ 2K US? if I lived north of the border, which it appears lots of you owners do...it sounds like a good idea...!

^^^ that actually is a pretty nifty tire calculator...thanks for the link

alaskaman- that was great...hope you are enjoying your winter up north...at least it appears your vehicle is up to the test...nice to hear the 4th gen are also as capable in real world situations!

^^^well i'm down here in Richmond, VA, and you will soon see how to use your 4-Hi and 4-Lo if you venture out in this snow we are getting hammered with...be careful though with the power to the wheels..lol... and you also just described why buying a used 4Runner is such the deal b/c most people...

^^^nice ride!...good find it appears...:cheers:

Asmara "I had one other brilliant idea that I hope will work out. I'm assuming it's cheaper to ship it back to the US and then on to Turkey than it will be to pay for storage in Europe for a year. " x 2...think that is your best bet whether out of pocket or not...have someoneat home take care...

kelly- ok yeah...that does make sense...I obviously don't own a 4Runner yet...so I've been reading these forums inside and out learning about 'em....appears what I want is either a '99-'00 Limited or '01-'02 any model and I'll have the multi-mode and a good 4wd system... I found an '02 Sport...

Having a Center Diff Lock and a Rear Locker factory ? It appears that all of the 99 Limiteds and all 2001-2002 models have the center diff locks....(since the 2000 year ltd didn't differ from 1999) from top4runners.org.. "A center differential lock switch has been provided in the instrument...
