    06+ 4runners...

    Hey guys

    I am going to ditch the 00 camry soon... it has served me well but it is time to move on.

    I want an 06+ 4runner sport edition v6. I have read around, seen some criticisms but on the whole the 06+ 4runners dont seem to have many issues. Is this true? Are there common issues I should look for? Any other advice for a 4th gen newb?

    Thanks!

    You definitely can't go wrong w/ a 06+ in either engine configurations. All of the major bugs were worked out by 2006.

    Camry -> 4runner = not so happy mpg but you already know that :P

    btw why SE? if you plan to lift it etc you'll end up ditching that xreas so you might as well get either the sr5 or ltd (w/o the xreas).

    my impression is he wants a DD for those lovely Massachusetts winters, and not a wheeler, he has the Pickup for that lol

    Like lance said, that is a great year.
    My uncle has an 05 SE, I know a year older, but driving that thing is a dream, and he has it fully loaded!

    i dont have plans to lift it and if i do it will be like a 1" lift or something if even. like yotafun said, I have the 91 for wheelin'.

    i am going with the SE because it has the nicest interior (i LOVE the black fabric) plus the hood scoop and the nicest stock rims! its a dd after all

    I cant stand that faux marble trim on the limiteds, and the SR5's are mostly under equipped... it'll probably be an adjustment with the mpg's (Camry hits 28-30 pretty consistently) but I want something more fun and useful...

    My plan is to immediately get an integrated GPS head unit that can still use the steering controls. I found an apline that will do that already like a nerd

    thanks for the advice guys, i figured 06 was a primo year since they did the minor refreshening which is usually when they've worked the bigger bugs out.

    plenty of blacks out there. reds are definitely a rarity and wasn't reintroduced until later but still only a small amount ever produced. Therefore the reds are either love em or hate em so for the seller they know they're selling to a small crowd. This could help ya (who knows)

    Green is the rare color as it was only available for 6 months Lucky me!

    I don't think I've ever seen that red color. That's nice! I still think I would go with the black though, or maybe silver.

    Is there anything wrong with the pre '06 4th gens? I know they don't look as good, but throw on some '06+ lights, grill, and some built bumpers, and they look good. When did VVTi and the A750 5spd tranny come out?

    hey, fellas, would you chime in for a target price for this 06 V8?
    pictures, equipment and carfax are all here:
    http://www.fortwaynelexus.com/VehicleDetails/385768873

    from the pictures I think it's SE with 17" wheels, and it's not an auction vehicle because it was leased out and re-sold at the same dealer. 3 years old not 4.

    I'll probably do a recon visit on Sunday, my wife's company provides great loan rate for employees at 2.25%. we are prequailified, so for the dealership, we are cash buyers.

    thats a pretty standard price for a v8. If that was a v6 it'd be about 21K.

    Use the 40+K on the stock tires to lower the price for one...
