2001 Toyota 4Runner Reviews, Pricing & Specs

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!

for a vehicle that is over 10 years old, i see many on the road and it still looks like a recent model - its a great vehicle. its the most reliable vehicle ive ever owned. Over the past 10+ years, its had very few maintenance issues. ive taken great care and it has rewarded me with reliability.

The 3rd Gen 4Runner is the best rig out there. PERIOD.

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)

A great looking car that performed extremely well in all conditions. This car was in the family for over 12 years and was the lowest maintenance vehicle I have ever owned. The best looking style year for the 4 Runner!

This has to be one of the more sought after vehicles. Great engine, fantastic four-wheel-drive, capabilities, beautiful body style, easy to work on.

Very strong all terrain, specially for bad roads; engine is the best, sounds as music and his 220 HP realy work. Is the best all road Toyota product, even than all new 4Runner models; fuel comsuption is not to high.

Good off road truck. The 4runner needs more power. I love the looks of the truck, I wish it had a little more leg room. It can be cramped with four adults. Great truck for the kids! Safe and reliable!

My 2001 4Runner is comfortable and I like all the bells and whistles. The seat is too short though, doesn't support my legs well. It feels much bigger to drive than my Cherokee did. I will know in July whether it handles OK on the trails. With the Cherokee I knew where my wheels were on the trail. I'll be in a better position to comment in about a month. I do like the tight short steering radius.

acce;eration is decient for how small the engine is compared to the mass of the car. It is very underpowered as an automatic because of the gear ratio with the 4 speed with overdrive trasmition. it is very well built and drives/rides like a truck. i would deffinatly recomend this car to anyone who needs a safe reliable car. But if your going to get a 4runner get the 4WD model i have driven a lot of diffrent 4WD and AWD vehicles but the 4runner is overall the best.
