Hello all! New to this board and 4-runners in general. Currently have a 03 Honda Accord coupe and will be hopefully getting something different later this fall. I've been leaning toward a 4x4 pickup for quite some time but now consindering a 4 runner. Its the only SUV that I think looks bad ass and still has all the off-road rugedness I"m looking for. I know I want a 4th gen and will probably buy used. I've been looking at 2003 models on the internet and have some questions on this particular year.

Whats is the HP/torque of the V6 and V8 models?
What the MPG ratings for these engines?
Do all the Sport Edition's in this year have the two-tone look?
When you have the JBL synthesis stereo package does it include a sub-woofer?
When you get the navigation, do you just get the basic stereo package (10 speakers vs. 7).

I'm sure I will think of some more. I found a 03 Limited 4x4 V8 with nav and 39,000 miles for $24,900. This seems like a good prices compared what they ask for that model new. I was leaning more toward a V6 SR5 4x4 but it seems that are only about 2g's less in prices. At that difference maybe it would be worth paying for the V8,leather, and nav. Does the limited with nav not really add that much resale? Like I said earlier I'm new to this vehicle and just started looking around. Thanks for the help!

I think later model 2003's have body color cadding. Any JBL equipped system has the subwoofer in the cargo area. In 2003, the navigation system also had the 10-speaker setup. That was changed in 2004 to 8-speakers and a backup camera was added. The two speakers on the D-pillar are gone and in place of them are the mirrors. All 2004 and newer with navigation are 8-speakers with the sub.

Good luck.
 
V6: 245hp, 282 torque
V8: 235hp, 320 torque

V6 2WD mileage: 18 city, 21 highway (22 highway for 2005+)
V6 4WD milegae: 17city, 21 highway

V8 2WD mileage: 16 city, 20 highway
V8 4WD mileage: 15 city, 19 highway

2003 SR5's and Sport Editions manufacturered before April or May 2003 are two toned with the gray cladding. After that, they come with monochromatic paint.

JBL Synthesis systems all have the subwoofer

Navigation system only comes with the 10-speaker JBL system.
