You can’t go far wrong with a used Toyota 4WD, whether that’s a Hilux, Tacoma, Sequoia, Tundra, Land Cruiser, and, indeed, a 4Runner. Over the years I’ve had conversations with hundreds of travelers in a wide array of vehicles and one key trend is that those who drive Toyotas generally enjoy more experiences. In other words, while I love my 1986 Volkswagen Syncro it breaks often, which is time and money that could be better spent exploring. A Toyota is not immune to issues, but when compared to many of the alternatives the build quality and reliability are often superior. The 4Runner is no exception and a popular option on our forum with recent examples including this 2018 TRD Off-Road Premium, a 2005 V6 Overland Build, and a 2017 SR5 Premium. If you’d like a better understanding of how this platform can be outfitted for travel then check out the 4Runners built by Dustin Miller and Expedition Overland. Today’s meticulously-maintained one-owner Trail Edition is uprated with premium modifications worth “$9,507…not including labor to install, which was substantial.”
From the Seller:
“This truck has covered 104,000 miles and is in great shape. It has always been completely reliable. I have only had to replace a couple of light bulbs, windshield wipers, etc. The oil has always been changed on schedule with synthetic from new, along with other pertinent services. This is a great start to a full-on expedition/overland rig.”
2010 Toyota 4Runner Trail Edition
The 4Runner is fitted with a 4.0-liter V6 that produces 270 horsepower, 278 pound-feet of torque, and returns a combined 19 mpg. Despite weighing 4,762-pounds the Toyota is surprisingly brisk on-road with a 0-60 sprint of just 7.8 seconds. However, it’s when the tarmac ends that the 4Runner really shines thanks to 4WD, a Body-on-frame design, Crawl Control, low range, A-Trac traction control, locking rear differential, and more. Driver comforts include:
- Air conditioning
- Cruise control
- Sunroof
- Infotainment system with navigation
Distinguishing Features
- Shrockworks winch bumper
- Icon Stage 2 suspension with Total Chaos UCA upgrade
- Warn winch
- RCI skid plates and sliders
- Rhino-Rack roof rack
This 2010 Toyota 4Runner Trail is listed for $29,655 and is currently located in Longmont, Colorado. Check the full vehicle specifications via the original Expedition Portal forum post here.
