I came across THIS (http://gtcarlot.com/data/Toyota/4Runner/) website that lists how 4Runners were equipped and sold in the U.S. If you follow the link and click on the year of interest (at the top of the page), you can get detailed sales information for each model year. For example, for the 2000 model year, 42.9% of all 4Runners sold were the SR5 4WD model, 93.8% had the V6, only 2.7% were sold with the manual transmission and 52.7% were millenium silver in color.

2000 Toyota 4Runner Sub Models
Standard Model 6.3%
Limited 9.8%
Limited 4x4 21.4%
SR5 19.6%
SR5 4x4 42.9%

2000 Toyota 4Runner Engines
2.7 Liter DOHC 16-Valve 4 Cylinder 6.3%
3.4 Liter DOHC 24-Valve V6 93.8%

2000 Toyota 4Runner Transmissions
4 Speed Automatic 97.3%
5 Speed Manual 2.7%

2000 Toyota 4Runner Colors
Black 18.8%
Desert Dune Pearl 8.0%
Imperial Jade Mica 8.0%
Millennium Silver Metallic 52.7%
Natural White 8.0%
Radiant Red 0.9%
Sunfire Red Pearl 3.6%

2000 Toyota 4Runner Interiors
Gray 29.5%
Oak 70.5%

I found it interesting that Toyota sold nearly 15% of 3rd gens with manual transmissions in 1996 and 1997 and demand for manuals dropped by 50% every year until they were discontinued in 2001.

Their stats for the 2nd gens are a little off. For example, according to them, my color only existed in 91 (not 93). Also, 100% of 4runners in '92 were automatics, while '93 was 60/40...
