Hello all,
I am going to look at and drive a 2000 Toyota 4runner in the morning, I was wondering if any of you can tell me things to look out for or inspect when I check it out???

It is a 2000 SR5, has the rear locker in it , it is in mint condition, garage kept, serviced by dealer, has 130k, looks brand new!!! I have wanted a 2000 Limited for a long time!!!! but every time I find one it gets sold right away or they have been drivin hard and abused... what is the main difference between the Limited and the SR5?? 1 better then the other?? I have lots to learn!! and a lot of reading!!

I appreciate any and all info..

 

check the frame ...

 

For rust or cracks??? any certain area??

 

rust issues pretty much through out
it sounds like the one your are looking at is in good shape
there was a recall on the frames

Thanks dropzone!! It just had a timing belt and water pump done as well... this thing looks like it has been VERY well takin care of!!

 

New Mexico you should be in much better shape then New jersey.

Just look at the over all condition.

Which sounds to be in good shape.

Find some dirt make sure Hi and Low range works

Decent price in good shape Toyota vehicles sell fast.

 

Major differences SR5 to Limited include:

Color matched bumpers, side cladding, digital A/C, immobilizer chip.

Most of the other stuff was available on the SR5 as an option: leather seats, fog lights, etc. Only SR5's got manual transmissions.

This is from memory, I'm sure there is more.

There is a pretty good sticky on the 'other' forum:
