It overhangs a little bit, if you look up from inside you can see the front of the box. I had to move it forward so I could get the hatch open all the way. If a person did not have the spoiler on the hatch the box could sit more toward the rear of the truck. It did not kill the gas mileage...

We have the skybox 18 and it is big but I am glad that I got that size. It was all the store had at the time so that is what I got. I thought it was too big but we (wife, 2 kids and I) always seem to fill it up. It comes in handy when we take the 4runner on trips. I have found that if you...

I think the jack and shovel both mount on the sides of the basket and the bar size is different than the standard cross-bar size. I think the Yakima cross-bar is the same size as the main bars on the basket. There should be no reason why you could not use the lights on the standard cross bars...

Thanks for the advice everyone, I tried to offer lower but the guy would not budge on the price so I had to pay the full 20k for it. But thanks to everybody here I knew the price was fair. I will be giving him a deposit today and get the process rolling. We are very excited to drive it. It...

We just looked at it again and my wife took it for a ride and could not believe how smooth it was. She thought it drove way better than the 2002 we borrowed. I am still a bit on the fence about the price and miles. The body does have a few scratches and you can tell it has been driven but not...

No, there is no brake controller and he towed snowmobile trailer and a boat with it. We are going to look at it again today if possible. Is there anything out of the norm that I should be looking for??? How about the price $20,000? The price seems on par with everything I found on Autotrader...

The fact that the owner towed with it scares me a bit. I always try to steer clear of vehicles that have towed. I still keep thinking about the 2002 sport we looked at with the low miles. I still am very undecided. Keep up the opinions , thanks. neil

I think I found another 4runner to consider in my search. I just looked at a black 2004 4wd sport with the v8 and was wondering about the price. The truck has 65,000 miles and is pretty loaded up. It has the 100k warranty, and a good remote start. The seller is asking $20,000 for it. It...

After thinking a lot about it I see that it is not worth it. I also thought that if a person purchased a damaged vehicle it will show up on a car-fax report and hurt the resale. Thanks for the advice, I think I am better off looking at the used one instead (2002 w/50,000 miles). Thanks a lot. neil.

Hi, My wife and I have been looking at a used 2002 sport 4wd that around here seems to be a good price with 50,000 miles but there is also a new 2007 SR5 with hail damage for around $26,000. I was wondering if anybody has ever bought a hail damaged vehicle? I thought that the price was good...

Well we are taking the 4runner back today and still don't know what to do. The vehicle looks good with a couple of small dents one in the rear bumper and one under the gas door. The interior is used with some wear but the vehicle is also a 2002. It doesn't have the floor mats just some...

Yes, the price was out the door on the road. The windows seemed to be a little smoother now. I think the rig is in good shape, engine bay is clean and looks good. I will check the oil condition, tranny fluid condition, and anti-freeze (which is red?). The owner recipts were for some...

I just brought home a 2002 sport 4wd for a test drive and had some quick questions about it. My last Toyota was a 1992 Hi/Lux pick up that I had to sell because we had a baby and the car seat did not fit too well. This 4runner is a lot different than my truck was. My questions and concerns...
