Thinking of buying the 2002 Toyota 4Runner?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2002 Toyota 4Runner for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is the 2002 Toyota 4Runner for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the 4Runner
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
What the specs mean
The powertrain to know here is the 3.4L 6-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Rated at 14.7 L/100 km combined, it needs around 44 litres for a 300 km round trip. In money, 1,000 km costs about $227.90 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
How big it is
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Good uses for the 4Runner
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Drive it on your own roads
Try the 4Runner on your commute, then decide. Rent the 4Runner for a week and see how it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
The cost of driving it
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. The EPA estimates US$4,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Year and trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
