2000 Toyota 4Runner Limited V6 from North America
Summary:
This is a very dependable vehicle if maintained properly
Faults:
I had to replace the O2 sensor once, but no problems other than that. This is a very dependable vehicle. The only thing that I can't stand is the small gas tank (because I drive between 400 & 500 miles per week) and have to stop so frequently.
General Comments:
It gets 18 mpg even with over-sized tires (22mpg with standard size tires) and a safari-style roof rack that is not very aero-dynamic.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Sorry to hear that your 4Runner did not stand up to its expectations. I noticed that you purchased the vehicle used, perhaps some more investigation about it would have helped or professional inspection help before buying it. How much did you pay for the "lemon"?
I purchased my 2K 4Runner Limited also in 2005. It had its fair list of details, but $500.00 fixed them all, including oil change.
You should always set aside a fair amount of money when buying used. I paid $9K for mine and added another $500.00. Well, actually $700.00 if I include the radio (I wanted MP3 and the factory radio did not have it). Ever since then mine runs like a Swiss clock, just regular maintenance. I'd buy another one without thinking twice!
