The 2011 Toyota 4Runner for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2011 Toyota 4Runner for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page sets out the 2011 Toyota 4Runner for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the 4Runner
Owners filed 163 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, structure and unknown or other; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Specs, explained
The powertrain here is the 2.7L 4-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.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 37 litres, from its 12.2 L/100 km rating. In energy, every 100 km costs about $18.91 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
Best uses
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
A longer test drive
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the 4Runner first, and buy only if it fits your life. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Money matters
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$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Picking a year and a trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Next step
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
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 2011 Toyota 4Runner from us first.
