We're currently a 2 Subaru family (2017 Forester, 2018 Crosstrek). I love them both and they're fantastic in the winter here, especially with snow tires. (as an aside, it amazes me when ppl try to make these cars into hard-core off-road rock crawlers, the AWD is awesome but those clutches and diffs weren't intended for that, imho)

Anyway, I've been thinking about the idea of a 3rd vehicle (we're close to empty-nesters, 2 kids just recently out of college and a college sophomore) that is pretty reliable but doesn't need to be a daily-driver, I don't care if it gets a little dirty or scuffed, and I can do fun day trips with my Husky. An older 4Runner seemed to fit.

Been looking at roughly, 1995 to say 2008 4Runners, trying to get familiar w trim levels, options, different engine options, etc. Having fun doing a lot of window shopping at the moment.

Any pointers to FAQs or pages good for someone looking to get up to speed appreciated, too.

Thanks!

Hello all! Just picked up my 2021 T4RP Lunar Rock last night. Loving everything about it, I do have to say the color is not the same from photos, it is totally different in person.

Yesterday we adopted Betty.
She is a 2020 SR5.
Here is a picture of her loaded up to start to 800 km trip to her forever home.

She seems to run amazing well for a 20 year old lady with 333Km.
The tires were not safe to drive that far and the brakes need a refresh.
First step is a through cleaning. It has been sitting under a pine tree

She certainly has lots of character,
She joins a 2009 Highlander Hybrid and a 2017 PriusV and a 2010 Corolla

Thanks

Been on the forum for while just never post. I have a 2007 V6 and just picked up an 86 4runner a few days ago. Ran great on the way home, but a few days later drove it to the gas station and it died. Now I get the joy of going through everything to see why it shut off and won’t start back!

Posting again so I can create my own thread about an issue with my gear indicator lights in the cluster. I’m hoping someone sees this and can reach out. I’ll continue to post until I can create my own thread. If there is anyone knowledgeable about 3rd gens in the Phoenix area please point me in that direction.

Dash lights up D and L at the same time. 10a fuse for “gauges” blows every few weeks. Transmission feels like it’s in L when in D. Selecting 2 the truck drives fine.

Thank you

Hello everybody!! Hoping to soon join team 4runner

Will be moving on from my previous Rav4, very excited to move up the ladder

Posting once more because I am hoping to make a thread to get some thoughts on the 4R's I am looking at!

Hello, I want to introduce myself. My name is Roger and I live in North Texas. I'm glad to be a part of this forum.

I just purchased a 2021 4runner limited nightshade 4x4 in pearl white last night.

I look forward to interacting on the forum.
