Have about 140,000 miles on the truck - bought it with about 20,000 miles. I have had to replace the tires a couple times, rear brakes blew out at 65K and front rotors changed a couple times. Rear key entry stopped working a long time ago but other than those things - perfect. Used Mobil 1 since I've had the truck with good results. Regularly get 20-21 MPG, 18-19 when using 4WD in winter. The truck still looks and runs great. Every time I think of trading her in she gives me a reason to think twice.

At 100k miles needed transmission replaced. Driver's seat fabric separating at seam. Driver's seat belt retractor sluggish so belt buckle gets caught in door.

2001 4Runner is Solid SUV

We purchased the 4Runner as we started a family. We wanted an SUV to hold the family and also to go off-road for camping. Given the limited gas milage of SUVs, we wanted a 4Runner as one of the better gas milage vehicles. It has run solidly for almost five years now. We bought it "Certified Pre-Owned" via a dealership. Other than normal maintenance, we have had no repair issues on the vehicle. We used the 24-hour roadside assistance twice for tire changes. The 4-wheel drive is not a common use item for us; however it has been a blessing in Oklahoma ice storms and in some camping conditions.
Solid as a rock after 60k miles

I've put on over 60K miles and it runs as good today as it did the day I bought it. Paint still looks brand new, too. For a SUV, good milage of 18 city and maybe 22 highway. Only had one problem - replace windshield wiper motor recently. No one rattle compared to Chevy Blazers I've been in that sound like a bucket of bolts with way less miles. The front seats are very uncomfortable, though, which is the only issue with the vehicle.
Best SUV I've owned

This is my third SUV and the best. It drives and handles like a car. The anti-skid and anti-lock break breaking systems saved me from flipping on an unexpectedly sharp turn. I was going 55 mph on Rt 1 in Pa and my exit came up faster than expected and hit the turn faster than expected. I didn't realize that it was a sharp turn and I slammed on the breaks. My back end kicked out and I though that I was going to hit the unusually high curb and flip. But the anti-skid straightened my back end and the anti- lock breaks stoped me I hit the curb. My Montero would have hit the curb and ended up on it's side.
