2001 Toyota 4Runner

Reluctantly for sale.

179k miles $12,900 Available: Late June

A 25-year-young truck that will probably outlive you. Selling reluctantly due to a move overseas.

§ 01 — The Story

Nineteen years south,
five winters north.

I purchased the truck in Maryland in 2020 where it had spent all of its life. I am the third owner. First owner had it for 17 years and garaged it every night. Second owner traded it into a Honda dealer after 2 years, which is where I got it from. This car has never wanted for anything. Undercoated every winter since coming north.

Perfect for bringing the dog to the beach or the park. Great for ski trips. There is nothing this truck can't do.

§ 02 — Exterior

In its element.

§ 03 — Interior

Tan leather. Woodgrain. Patina you can't fake.

§ 04 — Provenance

Southern frame.
Annually undercoated.

For the first nineteen years of its life this truck never saw a New England winter. It came north in 2020 and has been undercoated every year since — five winters of Fluid Film, no shortcuts. The undercarriage tells the story.

§ 07 — Frequently Asked

Questions, answered.

Why are you selling?

Moving overseas and I can't take it with me, even though I want to.

Any rust on the frame?

No. This is why I was looking for a southern truck when I purchased it. I have undercoated it every year since I have had it in the northeast. 3M the first year, and then Fluid Film every year since then. Take a look at the underside pictures from 2020 (when I purchased it). That is how it looked before I started undercoating it. So there should be no rust hiding behind the undercoating.

What's the most recent service?

Oil and filters changed Oct 2025 (177k miles)

Any accidents?

Nope.

Is it a daily driver?

Technically yes, but I do not drive that often. It gets driven at least once a week.

Is the rear spoiler original?

No, this is a JDM style upgrade I had installed. The truck comes with the original OEM wind deflector if you wish to re-install it.

When is the truck available?

The truck will be available from late June.

Interested?

Reach out.
