The guts of the vehicle’s been solid - V6, transmission , drive train, and that useful 4 wheel drive when needed.
Average to Poor ratings on assorted sites mostly for the quirky minor issues ,but it’s a value
vehicle to tow, haul, carry etc at 20 mpg highway ....9 towing .
When you own a used vehicle for 10 years or so, it keeps on performing, towing 120 miles round trip every time to fish, and doesn’t cost
much over time, it’s a decent machine.

Yep... I was *that guy* at the dock, and a source of entertainment for all.
That's a DC Duck pulling me out... nothing beats an amphibious, 6 wheel drive WW2 military vehicle when you sink your tow vehicle, and need some help!
That 4runner was available dirt cheap to whoever bought it at an insurance salvage auction.
That picture also explains why I got a new 4Runner... (hehe!)
