About 2001 Toyota 4Runner
Overview
The 2001 Toyota 4Runner marked the end of the almost-universally panned I4; all 4Runners now came standard with a 3.4-liter V6 rated at 183 horsepower and delivering 217 lb/ft of torque. Let us rejoice! Toyota tempered the power with some additional control features, including TRAC (traction) control, and a vehicle skid control system.
Fuel economy reflects the new power, with 16/19 city/highway estimates. The cabin is spacious and comfortable, particularly with the leather trim. The high ground clearance allows those who still buy SUV's to take off-roading to hit the trails.
Reviewers love the new engine and continued comfort of the interior. Complaints about fuel economy continue, but these are typical numbers for a mid-size SUV.

Probably one of the most solid vehicles I’ve ever owned along with my ford ranger. I’d take a 2001 3.4L V6 4Runner with 260,000 miles on it over any new Kia, Hyundai, Nissan, ford, etc. out there (unless we’re talking diesels but that’s not the point). The only issue is finding the ones who haven’t been turned into a rock crawler, rolled once or twice, and then sold to an unexpected buyer who didn’t know the extent of the abuse. But if you have a reputable, responsible series of prior owners as well as consistent maintenance (especially the timing belt replacements since those are the grim reaper for these vehicles), you have a 400,000 mile car EASILY. If you’re looking to buy one, check for rust underneath the vehicle since that’s a common problem as well. Also, check all the windows and electronics work as they’re supposed to. Other than that, only amazing things to say from my own experience!

Type 3 4RUNNER might be the best Toyota ever made. Either 4 or 3.4 V6 especially 4x4 and even better if you can find a manual 5 speed 4x4. Manufactured 96 thru 2002 ( last 5 speeds made model year 2000)
