2014 4Runner SR5

[pag04]

My 2004 Limited with 195,500K on it was just totaled by a clown that zoomed out of a parking lot into traffic. Bought the Limited new but that is not going to happen this time. I'm looking at a 2014 SR5 tomorrow (possibly Trail Premium but the vehicle info is not clear) with 19,900 miles for $30K. I'd like to hear how 2014 owners like their vehicles. Any problems or issues to be aware of for that year?
The vehicle has the following options which seems like a good deal for 30K and that milage.

I have a 2014 SR5. We bought it new and I have had it for 2 years and 2 days. It has 31,000+ miles on it. I have not had one single problem or issue with my beloved 4Runner. As you can see, we drive the heck out of it with 31K+ miles on it already. Miles are not only on pavement, we've done a good amount of mild off roading in her, driven in sand dunes, towed my RZR, towed utility trailer, etc. I love my 4Runner.

If I had to "complain" about something on my 4Runner, I can only think of the way it was when new. First, it had Dunlop tires on it. I replaced them with Toyo's and the ride immediately became nicer. Second, I replaced the stock shocks with 5100 Bilsteins and that eliminated the nose dive feeling when braking and also leveled out the 4Runner.

I hope this post does not jinx me and I hope I have many more trouble free years with my 4Runner. Hope you have good luck with what ever you choose.

I purchased a new 2014 SR5 Premium back in 11/2014. Last 2014 model on the lot so there were major discounts off sticker. The 5th gen T4R has been out since 2009, so you're pretty safe with a '14 model. They are all the same except the face lift, and other minor cosmetic upgrades. Power and drive train is all the same.

Have 15k miles on it now and never had any problems with it except for small nuisances such as squeaky rear seats and the front door panel vibrates when cold. I wouldn't get the TE if it wasn't a premium model. I don't for KDSS. It is a slow passenger hauler, not a sports car. Just having the small creature comfort features pays for itself. My truck is parked outside year round so the I love the seat warmers. A sunroof is a must for me as well. Soft-tex seats are great and easy to clean. I get my interior muddy often because I don't change out of my fishing waders when I go from on hole to another throughout the river.

I added Bilstein 5100s, new wheels plus Cooper ATP in 285 immediately when I got it. Those stock wheels and tires had to go!
