The 2001 Toyota 4Runner: before you buy

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2001 Toyota 4Runner for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2001 Toyota 4Runner, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

A buyer's checks

There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 185 complaints with NHTSA, most often about structure, power train and suspension; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

Specs, explained

The engine is the 3.4L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

By the EPA's combined rating of 13.8 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 41 litres. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $21.39 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,950 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Room inside

Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

A longer test drive

A test week in the 4Runner tells you more than any review. A week with the 4Runner answers more than any brochure. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 4Runner answers the big questions.

Year and trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2001 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Running costs

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Ready when you are

A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2001 Toyota 4Runner from us first.
