You've gotten a lot of good feedback already, but for another data point, we had a '99 when my daughter was born and put her in the middle of the backseat. Since then (2010), we had another kid in 2012, bought and totaled a 2007 4Runner (nobody hurt), bought another 2007 and a 2011 - car seat...

Agree with wnelax04sr5 - go for 06-09 models...V6 or V8 is personal preference

I have Yakima bars mounted on the factory rails with their (Yakima) rail grabbers

Dobbs, Firestone and Hellbent have all installed 265/70/17s on my 2007 and 2008 4Runners

Yes you can...

Agreed, $200 seems high - I paid $80 for a full set with shocks earlier this year

They will fit with a stock suspension

I'm way interested if you can make it work...

I sold a '95 with 215,000 miles (it's still running), gave my nephew my '99 at 303,000 (also still running), have a 2007 with 126,000... Just need good maintenance

Another reference point - I bought a 2007 SR5 V6 with ~121K miles last month for $12K from a dealer. But, I also agree if you know the maintenance history and trust the seller, buy it...
