The 2000 Toyota 4Runner remained almost identical to the 1999 model, with a base engine of a 2.7-liter I4, and a 3.4-liter V6 as an upgrade (also standard on the Limited model).
Toyota seemed to concentrate on improving the rear end of this model, with chrome bumpers and a rear defroster and intermittent wiper. The 4Runner did not need many other improvements to its exterior: it was consistently praised for its style and ground clearance.
Owners and reviewers continued to complain about the weakness of the I4. How do you power such a large truck on so little power? The engine has to be revved hard to reach the 150 horsepower the brochures claim it is rated.

What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2000 Toyota 4Runner express a strong appreciation for its reliability, dependability, and spaciousness. Many drivers highlighted that it’s great for off-roading and daily usage alike, often noting the vehicle's fantastic performance in various conditions. However, concerns about rust with older models and the vehicle's gas mileage were common drawbacks."
This SUV has been a great addition to our family. It looks sharp, it's durable, roomy, and safe, and is in really good condition. It drives great and has all working features, automatic sun roof, power locks on doors, heater in front and back, a/c, tow package.
January 8, 2013Toyota made a Masterpiece of engineering and functionality. This series of 4 runners, taken care of properly are 500,000 mile worriors.
November 1, 2023These particular 4runners are still in high demand for starter SUVs or that 4WD enthusiast wanting a little more room than a Jeep. The electronic Differential control works well for occasional off roading or boat ramps. The seating wears well and can be easily maintained or replaced at a very low cost if required. Maintenance on toyota trucks is legendarily affordable and many owners are getting in excess of 400K miles out of the truck with routine maintenance. These factors combine to provide a great all around SUV, and for the money, it's a steal.

July 29, 2012One of the best offroad vehicles you can buy. The 4runner never stops amazing me of it's capabilities. Comfort is amazing , with moderate fuel economy. Cargo room is not an issue when it comes to the 4runner. Will never get rid of this rig.
August 30, 2013I love most everything about this fine automobile. the only thing i'd like to see improved is a little more horse power to have a little more "get up" when getting on to the highway. but other than that, the best car i've owned!
July 19, 2009Fantastic truck, great ride, smooth driving, we travel across country in this car and it has done well. Very low maintenance car, as long as you do regular maintenance it will last forever. Very comfortable, fun to drive, seated high up in car, plenty of storage space in back. Toyota is the best car on the market.
October 24, 2008I love the Toyota quality. I love that the seats fit me just perfectly. The much maligned seating position actually works for me. The best thing is the roll-down rear window. No other vehicle comes as close to open air cruising except the Del Sol. Open the sunroof and the back window, and you get 90% of the cooling of windows with 20% of the noise!
April 27, 2009Bought my 2000 4Runner SR5 3.14 2WD automatic Sport Package in September 2007. It had 60,000 miles on it and has been trouble free so far. I like the solid feel and quality workmanship in this vehicle. I would recommend the Toyota brand to anyone looking for quality.
February 18, 2008Overall Toyotas are well built, dependable and reliable vehicles. The problem is RUST! 99.99% of people selling their Toyota Tacomas, 4 Runners etc, especially if theyre over 12 or 15yrs old are all RUST issues in the Frame and Brake Components ie: ABS etc. So if youre lucky enough to find one that is NOT RUSTED grab it. So lesson is DO NOT TAKE the Sellers word for it. RAISE The Car and Inspect the underbody!
August 2, 2022This is an economical and reliable go to vehicle, and Toyotas last. I camp in this vehicle. Its big enough to accommodate a twin mattress in the back and a half dozen office boxes full of supplies. Its also my daily driver.
