Selling my beloved 2006 Toyota 4Runner Sport Edition (V8).

This has been an incredibly reliable vehicle during the 8 years I’ve owned it, and I’m only selling because I’m upgrading to a newer, larger truck.

I’m the second owner, and both the original owner and I have taken excellent care of it. It has been garage kept its entire life, at home and at work. The frame is in great shape with only minor surface rust— no structural rust or damage.

Mechanical & Condition

• Coveted 4.7L V8 – rock solid and trouble free

• Transmission shifts smoothly with no issues

• No electrical problems

• Windows, doors, and sunroof all function perfectly

• Interior and exterior are in good condition with normal age related wear

• Never been in an accident or fender bender — clean title

Maintenance History

I’ve kept meticulous records of all maintenance done during my ownership. Oil changes every 5,000 miles using Mobil 1 full synthetic and Mobil 1 filters, done personally.

Recent repairs & major services:

• Brand new radiator at 260k

• Transmission drain & fill front/rear differential and transfer case fluid service at 260k

• Passenger front tie rods, all brakes & rotors, front calipers, and tightened parking brake at 247k

• Timing belt water pump at 224k

• Front axle replaced within the last few years

• Engine and cabin air filters replaced routinely

• Battery is brand new, replaced 6 months ago.

• Blizzak DM-V2 Winter Tires. New as of last winter.

• Summer tires have 1 summer left on them.

Known Issues

I want to be upfront about the current items that need attention:

• Rack and pinion needs replacement

• Suspension needs a full overhaul

Two trusted shops have inspected it, and these are the only issues they identified.

Pricing

• $9,000 as-is

Perfect for someone with mechanical skills who wants to save money or customize suspension to their preference (brand choice, lift, etc.).

• $12,000 with repairs completed

This would include a basic suspension refresh and new steering rack. Once these repairs are done, I’m confident this 4Runner is capable of reaching 500k miles—it’s been that solid.

I’m sad to let it go, but I hope it goes to a good home.

Also, the 4Runner is paid off and I have the title in hand.

Feel free to reach out with any questions.
