Bought it with 180k miles, and it rides like new!

I saw this on a dealers lot with over 180,000 miles on it, and it looked like new. Knowing it was a Toyota, I bought it. Am SOOOO glad I did. I have the 6 cylinder and often pull a 7x14 lightweight cargo trailer with it. It does great. I love so many things about Toyotas. A headlight went out, and it was about $12 and took less than 5 minutes to replace. I just changed the oil tonight, and it's so easy. The filter is easy to get to, and even has a shroud around it to catch any oil that runs off so it doesn't mess up the engine area. Oh, and it's now about 210,000 and doesn't use a DROP of oil and runs like new. The body and paint are still perfect with no signs of rust or corrosion. I expect to easily get 300k or maybe more. Love, love, love it.
just get it!

Don't waste your time looking for something else if you want a true off road capable, comfortable, reliable, all around great vehicle. I bought mine with 66k last year have almost 90k now a year later. The only problem I had is the stupid owners before me bought the worst possible tires for snow. I went and bought some blizzaks and now it's unstoppable in a Minnesota winter. I have never written a review for anything before. I freaking love my 4runner.

I have had my 2008 SR5 V6 (red salsa pearl) for 15 years and it has proven to be the most enjoyable vehicle I have ever owned. Perfect reliability, useful utility configuration (I love the unique lift-gate power window), great comfort, excellent audio system (I still use MP3 CD's), and a great looking design. With normal dealer maintenance there have been no problems at all. I have no trouble with winters in Iowa, and always look forward to driving this sharp looking model. I installed a chrome horse head hood ornament so I could always look between a horses ears as I drive... I like to think of it like riding an ultra-smooth powerful horse.

The biggest problem about the 2008 Toyota 4Runner SR5 is that it does not have any problem at all! I bought the 2008 Toyota 4Runner brand-new on November 22, 2008. As I write this review on February 3, 2021, the only parts I have replaced since purchase are the four tires and windshield wipers. Everything else including headlight, indicator light and taillight bulbs are the very same ones from the factory. The battery is still the same factory fitted and the engine starts every quarter of ignition turn. I have driven from ND through the states of MN, WI, IL, IN, OH, WV, VA, DC, MD, PA, NJ, NY, IA, NE, SD. I will keep my 4Runner for ever!

I purchased a 2008 Toyota 4Runner this past summer and overall, I am totally impressed. I am also surprised at the fuel economy and the features; everything is pretty much at your fingertips so that you can stay focus when driving. Toyota 4Runner, "I love what you do for me."
