Hi, For-sale is our 2005 4Runner SR5, 4x4, 4.0L with 143,000 miles. This is a really nice and beyond clean 4th gen and I'd like to offer it to an enthusiast before I try the general public. I am the 3rd owner and have owned this for the last 8 years, purchased in 2013 at 64K miles. Clean...

Some nice ones out there! Mine is available! I wash mine frequently and once a year I've given any frame rust a scuffing and painted black, it has no deterioration. Just takes time to find a good one.

I think 240 HP has its limits, I've been towing boats since getting my license so I never selected OD, shifted between 3rd and 4th as needed and 2nd on a few of the down hills. I did use premium fuel too. It's great except for the really steep hills, it just doesn't like it and looses speed...

My '05 is just at 97K miles and in SUPER clean condition and well maintained so I'm thinking if we are going to do this again/ go further, it's time for a new vehicle. Don't need to invite the head gasket leak/ trans issues into this SUV. Disappointing Toyota abandoned the V8 and the Lexus GX...

I don't post normally unless I have a problem but thought I would post my recent experience pulling at the limits of the 4Runner. When I bought my 4Runner 3 years ago, it was the perfect SUV for towing our 19' Stingray bowrider (about 3,000lbs with trailer). Besides local moves, we pulled it...

Thanks all, I drove it quite a bit around town today and no smell... I cleaned the MAF sensor and put in a bottle of Sea Foam in the gas. I changed the plugs about 10K ago. I ran everything by my normal mechanic who I trust for the jobs over my head, he mentioned the changeover from summer-...

I'm the 3rd owner, I've had my 2005 for 2.5 years and it just hit 90K. I've felt the response/ performance has dropped off in the last day, I think I lost 1-2MPG over the past few tanks. Since buying it I've always had a low RPM rattle underneath and I've tried to trace it to a heat shield...

I originally wanted a 06+ sport however in my search, I found the sport to be very rare and essentially, once I learned the 05 had the 5 speed transmission it added an option I didn't consider. I bought mine from a GM Dealer, I brought a second set of eyes with me and the overall condition was...

Yes- I bought he Curt- All my previous tow vehicles had factory frame mounted hitches. I just am thinking though that the 5th gen has no choices and other vehicles like the Tahoe/ Expedition rely upon "bumper" mounted hitches essentially so perhaps I should have skipped the swap and maybe this...

I bought the 4runner initially to tow my 19' boat, it did a great job as that load was only about 3500lbs. I've since moved up to a much heavier boat- roughly 4500-5K area loaded. I've always been local with it but considering adding a transmission cooler and going further in the next year...
