2005 Toyota 4 runner - purchased in 2005 new

Can't believe what a great "truck" the 4 runner is. I live in Bahamas and it's short trips and hot. 4runner has 150,000 miles and starts and runs like new.
Replaced AC last year with new compressor. A few starters along the way, and brakes a few times.

Paint on body looks factory new. What? Never owned a car new or used that had such a great paint job right from factory.

Toyota builds the best cars and trucks - no doubt about it.
V6 has lost no power in 14 years. Same exhaust system? What?
Interior is in great condition still. What?
No coolant issues in 14 years - and it's hot, hot here.

I owned a GMC Jimmy from new and it rusted away - and through the floor boards. It still ran relatively well when I sold it for $600.

Glad I didn't get leather seats.

 

Awesome .. share some pics of the 05 in scenic Bahamas

 

Great story! My dad’s Ford F-150 is 33 years old and runs purfect. The paint isn’t even dry yet.
I’m heading there to swim with pigs....Let’s do lunch?

 

Seems those F150s have some issues! Wow! Transmissions and steering issues... Google it. These trucks costs $70,000 plus.

Say hi to JBL if you run into him....and get some investment tips while you're at it.

 

Bought this off the original owner... 88' s10 with 232k, all original driveline. AC didn't work when I bought it though and it needed a tune up lol. Most was all original paint that I just polished, I think the door was repainted due to a collision.

GM isn't all bad lol.

 

Power steering? I remember my buddies 80s s10 back in highschool in the 90s. Looked cool but it didn't have power steering.

 

Mine did have power steering... However it leaked badly and I never got around to changing lmao! I had big plans for it... LS swap, all that good stuff. My daughter's came along and now we have a 4r as a toy .. it was a great compromise lol.

Btw welcome OP

 

Yes pics please

Sorry you had problems. I just off loaded an 18 platinum. I've had 3 150s since 14 and not one issue, love the 10 speed, 18 had 35s, a tune, fast as heck and when I babied it got 27 mpg hwy 20 in the city.. only reason got rid of it is it's to damn big to drive in the city, hard to park anywhere.
