Hey all. I have been thinking of finally trading in my old 2011 bmw 335i 6spd manual transmission with 40k miles for a more versatile car. I have been out of warranty for around 3 years and already had to replace my (i think) fuel pump. I hate the idea of paying out-of-pocket for maintenance on a bmw.

I am thinking of getting a 2018/19 4Runner Limited. I know most people recommend buying used cars, but I tend to hold my cars on for a long period of time (see the BMW) and I really can see myself using the 4runner for a very, very long time.

Any thoughts or opinions? Any suggestions in cross shopping?

Thanks!

if they are still like the old school ones things will be stout and last forever
ive never dealth with one past like 2000 tho

This my buddy has a 95 or 96 hes beat to hell and back and the thing wont die.

Did he at least have the 6 cylinder?

The 22res are a lot like the 7.3 Ford's, not enough power to hurt themselves, so they run forever

Having less than 100 hp in a "truck" is just useless though

Ya, I believe it is, and he just uses it to go down trails and for fishing and stuff like that. Once in a while he plays in the snow with it, but he has lots of toys so it doesnt get much action anymore.

I had bought one for the engine, couldn't figure out why people would bother with the 4 banger version, it was like driving a lawn mower

My mother has had her 4 runner since 2001 & it still runs/looks like new.

Would recommend tbh.

As with any car, I suggest doing a Google search to see if there are any known recalls on any vehicle before purchase. And if there were, make sure they have been repaired before you buy.

I have 2 4Runners and one of them is a 2017 Limited. Really no difference between the 17-18 years. Amazing ride, easy and cheap maintenance, plenty of room. Only thing I’ll be trading it in for is when the update the body style again

Edit, the reason I have 2 is because when I bought the 2017 Limited for my wife, I liked it so much that I had to have one for a daily too.
