Had a few Jeeps with the straight 6 back in the day. Few thing's like cracked radiator but that was around the 150k mark. Great other than that. Would I buy a new one. .. hell no. My dad has a 01 Tahoe, abused the heck out of that thing. Now we call it the trash truck. Whoever in the family wants to use it for whatever just does. 190k and never even had the alt changed. Literally spark plugs and fluids is it. I used to ne a subaru mechanic. They has there flaws too, headgaskets, but at lest it was 1 or 2 things, not 6.I love my 4runenr, just not quite as reliable as I had wanted is all. I would expect to replace these things around 150-200k, not by 90k

Its what I was thinking.. Miles is one thing.. But if you got it used. None of these thing maybe maintained. Its why maintenance states miles/year which ever comes first.
My parents have 3 4runners. Their '86 has ~340k, dad's 98 has ~210k and my mom's '02 has ~170k. All three still running strong(the '86 is more of their "bad weather beater" since it has dents and scratches). My '04 has ~104k. Nearly 800k between all 4 and I'm sure that's a relatively low number considering!

Man, that cluster looks so good in white and blue. And I hate blue...My 2008 joined the 200k club today.

I had to take the cluster apart and replace the leds. Check out this thread for more details.

Hoping for at least 50k trouble free miles.

I bought a 2004 v6 limited from my son 4 months ago who had since 2008 80k miles. I don't think he did anything but oil changes and tires after going through all the records that he threw in the glove box. I've changed an O2 sensor and a front brake job for frozen calipers. Left front wheel bearing soon. Getting her ready to run the beaches of NC.
178000 and I'll keep it till the salt turns it to rust.

Hit 200k a few weeks ago. 2004 V6 Limited 4x4. Bought it nearly 2 years ago and have only put 16k miles on it. I commute on a motorcycle when I can. I haven't had to replace anything major yet...Hoping to go over it in depth this summer. At this rate I'm hoping it will last me another 10 years at least. Happy to see so many high mileage 4runners.
