Used Car of the Day: 1999 Toyota 4Runner SR5
Today we bring you a very clean-looking 1999 Toyota 4Runner SR5.
It's a four-cylinder automatic with two-wheel drive. It has apparently been owned by the same person since 2001 and well-maintained.
New parts include new spark plugs, new distributor cap and rotor, new spark plug wires, new tires, new master cylinder, and new valve cover gasket.
According to seller, the vehicle runs and drives well and the only thing that doesn't work is the digital clock.
It appears this truck has never been in an accident, and the only damage appears to be rock chips and that sort of exterior wear and tear.
Check out this Texas-based truck here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

- Steve Biro I’ll wait for the two-door version with the turbo DOHC inline six. And then probably conclude that even the base version is too expensive for me.
- Scott Did they start at Clarkson's Farm? (No other questions matter...)
- Carfan94 According to Wikipedia the Highlander went into production in November 2000. Inaccuracy much?
- MaintenanceCosts I have a 2016 with the late and very much missed V6 hybrid powertrain. It’s as interesting to drive as a toaster, but I can’t deny that it just does everything we want it to do without ever complaining, despite relentless neglect (at least cosmetic neglect; it’s well maintained mechanically). It’s perfectly happy taking the kids to school or carrying all of us and our luggage over 10,000-foot passes at 85 mph. Very fit for purpose.
- Bd2 Santa Fe is so much better because its Hyundai

I just read an article on another site about the 2001-2007 Sequoia and it's million mile capability as a Toyota truck for relatively cheap providing it has a solid frame and you do your own repair work . I was thinking the same thing about a Honda Element on a much smaller scale of course .

I had a v6 3rd gen 4runner. Head gasket blew at less than 100k miles. Rust was starting and I live in a desert. Everyone keeps telling me how reliable it was.
