The 2005 Toyota 4Runner: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2005 Toyota 4Runner for sale by us right now. This page helps you judge the 2005 Toyota 4Runner before you buy one anywhere.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 425 owner complaints on file, mostly about structure, suspension and unknown or other. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Under the hood
Its powertrain is the 4.0L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Expect about 39 litres for every 300 km, going by its 13.1 L/100 km combined rating. That works out to about $20.31 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
The 4Runner in everyday use
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
Who rents the 4Runner
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the 4Runner for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If the 4Runner is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.31 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203.10 at our price setting.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Want a price?
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
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 2005 Toyota 4Runner from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2005 Toyota 4Runner for you and reply within one business day.

Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Does the 2005 Toyota 4Runner have recalls?
NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.
What does the 2005 Toyota 4Runner cost in fuel a year?
EPA puts it at US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles at its fuel prices; at our price setting, 20,000 km cost about $4062.00.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
