The 2002 Toyota 4Runner: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2002 Toyota 4Runner for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before buying the 2002 Toyota 4Runner, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
What the figures tell you
The 3.4L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 4-speed automatic. 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.
At 14.7 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 44 litres of fuel. For 1,000 km, budget about $227.90 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
When the 4Runner makes sense
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.
Room inside
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
Drive it on your own roads
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the 4Runner for a week and see how it fits your life. Try the 4Runner on your commute, then decide.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $22.79 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$4,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
