The 4Runner is a favorite on the forum with recent adventure-ready builds, including this 1992 SR5, a 2003 Sport, and a 2005. Cue today’s 2006 Toyota 4Runner (220,xxx miles), which showcases a wealth of desirable aftermarket modifications and a CVT Mt Hood rooftop tent, yet is priced at just $14,000. Interestingly, Expedition Portal’s first test vehicle was a fourth-gen 4Runner built by ARB for the SEMA show. Publisher Scott Brady states, “That 4Runner served as another turning point, being part of the inspiration for us starting the Overland Journal magazine.” Today, the fourth-gen remains a pinnacle platform for adventure and enjoys access to exceptional aftermarket support. Subsequently, no two are the same, as demonstrated by drool-worthy builds from Garrett Logan, TrailBuilt Off-Road, and Peach State Overland. If you’d like to learn more about what makes this vehicle such a great choice for travel, then check out our recent article Celebrating 40 Years of Toyota 4Runner.
From the Seller:
“After 10 years of amazing adventures, it’s time to say goodbye to our beloved 4Runner. In essence, the vehicle was carefully packaged to serve as a two-person camping rig with solid off-road capabilities while still fitting inside a typical residential garage. It has nearly 4 inches of lift versus the factory setup. The truck is pretty clean for its age and runs really well despite the fact that it’s done the Alpine Loop, White Rim, and a host of other off-road adventures. We love it, but we are getting ready for a 10-week trip next summer and need a bigger rig.”
2006 Toyota 4Runner
The 4Runner is fitted with a V6 motor that produces 245 horsepower, 282 pound-feet of torque, and returns 17/21 mpg (city/highway). A robust engine and drivetrain are matched with impressive all-terrain capability, thanks to Toyota’s A-TRAC 4WD system, high and low range, a rear limited-slip differential, and lifted and uprated suspension. These backcountry attributes are balanced with a well-equipped interior with driver comforts that include:
- Air-conditioning
- Cruise control
- Leather seats
- LED headlights
- Sunroof
Distinguishing Features
- Bilstein 5100 shocks, Toytec springs, an adjustable rear torsion bar, and JBA upper control arms
