In a recent Overland Journal podcast, Scott Brady and Matt Scott discussed the Top 10 New SUVs and concluded that despite exciting newcomers, the Toyota 4Runner remained number one. It’s hard to dispute considering that this budget-friendly platform can seemingly do-it-all. Whether you’re in the market for a daily driver, commuter, weekend recreational vehicle, or dedicated overland rig, the 4Runner is a great option. In defiance of its modest price tag, reliability, build quality, and capability are best-in-class, which is why it remained one of the best-selling SUVs in North America in 2023. It’s one of the few vehicles from the factory suitable for backcountry adventures, especially when uprated with one of the company’s optional packages, including the TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, and Trail Premium. In addition, aftermarket support is exceptional allowing owners to uprate their 4Runner from the ground up to suit their objectives. Needless to say there’s no shortage of dreamy builds online including offerings from CBI Offroad Fab, Overland Engineer, and Expedition Overland. Today’s 93,xxx-mile 2016 Toyota Runner Trail Premium showcases a wide array of modifications and is priced at $30,000.
From the Seller:
“This 4Runner was purchased new by me in 2016. It’s paid off, and the title is in hand. I will include a brand-new set of Toytec rear shocks (standard length) and an ARB 2000 awning (I just don’t have the mounts for the Sherpa Rack yet). I will detail the vehicle inside and out before the sale.”
