Hi just bought a 2000 4runner today, white 4x4 loaded with 159k from the dealership... any recalls or issues i should know about? I got a good deal on it too, traded my wrecked '93 runner in for $2500 because of a promotion where any vehicle you can push pull or drag in there gets at least that, also sold the tires off that truck beforehad so i made money off it in the end . gonna be my daily driver so not too many mods going in, maybe intake/ exhaust and some cosmetic stuff, who knows though. I'll have pics of it soon.

Pictures would be nice.

2000-2002 4runners with higher milage can suffer from "strawberry milkshake"...IE trans. cooler inside radiator leaking,possibly ruining trans...

I would bypass the internal radiator trans cooler with an external unit,ASAP.

word to the wise.

Ok, I'll see if I can make the dealership do that for me. I'll get some pics hopefully this morning but if I don't it'll be another week untill I see it gotta catch a flight for work to northern Canada for a week ... I'll get to drive it for 1 morning.

So, went to the dealership to get it this morning and rather than fix the stone chip in the windshield I pointed out to them they recomended a place for me to take it. They had agreed to fix it yesterday when I bought it. On top of that they gave it to me with the tank so empty the fuel light was on. I never even drove it off the lot. Went back inside and put the keys on the salesmans desk and got my money back. Good thing it was a mitsubishi dealership because the toyota one has a few 3rd gens I'm going to look at when I finish my work week.

That's why I hate buying from dealerships. I'd look to see if there are any for sale by owner.
