This listing is for a 2003 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4WD with a V8 engine and 111,xxx miles.  I purchased this vehicle from the original owner in 2005 when it had 32K miles and I've never had an issue with it.  I've always used Mobil One synthetic oil and it just had an oil change a couple hundred miles ago.  At 95K miles, I had Ron's Toy Shop in Manchester NH do the timing belt service as well as change out the transmission fluid with synthetic.  The truck has new front and rear brake pads and a new battery.  It also has two sets of tires and rims. I bought a set of premium winter snow tires and put them on the stock rims (not shown but included) and then I bought a new set of premium rims and summer tires.  To be fair and honest, it does not need the snow tires, but I have three young kids and the cost of snow tires to guarantee I never have an issue is far less than anything I would pay if something did happen.

Why am I selling it? I'm selling because we have 3 kids, all under age 8, and needed a vehicle with a third row for more spacing.  

As for additional options, it comes with the JBL sound system upgrade and 6 disc in dash changer with 2 sets of headphones, moon roof, and tow package which is a heavy duty transmission cooler, upgraded transmission and rear receiver with electrical connection.  The headphones can be used so people in the back seat can listen to a different audio source than those in the front.  There is a remote control that switches that and it's included.  This is a fully loaded 4-Runner Limited.

This truck has incredible towing power and comes with a locking rear differential.  We live on the side of a hill with a steep driveway and in the winter I have had friends come over for a visit and be unable to get up our hill.  I have use a heavy duty tie down strap to tow up a VW passat, a Chrysler minivan and a Ford F150 2wd truck.  The F150 I did with the summer tires as I hadn't swapped them over yet. The V8 actually gets the same gas mileage as the V6, and since I have owned it I have averaged over 19mpg.  In fact, in the three months since I changed the battery I've averaged 20mpg, which can be seen in the picture of the center console.  It's rated to get 15-19, but I have always been on the high side and this is not a highway vehicle for us, it's a people mover.

What's wrong with it?  Nothing mechanically.  The drivers side rear door has some surface scratches from when I once went though an older style car wash and the swishing scrubber things lift tiny scratches that could probably be buffed out.  There is a small spot of beginning rust on the  rear tailgate to the right of the license plate.  Lastly there is a small tear in the drivers side leather seat from getting in and out of the vehicle.  The floor mats have done there job and kept the main carpet looking very good, but they are 10 years old and look it.  I did not shampoo them or anything so it's possible they could look better.  The summer tires have roughly 50% tread left and the winter tires have 80-90% tread left so you won't be needing to buy new tires any time soon.  Lastly, the vehicle report states it was in an accident, "collision with a pedestrian," but I was not.  I got into an argument with someone in a parking lot and after I left the man called the police and said I backed up into him.  I was issued a ticket for unsafe backing which I fought and won, and didn't realize they also put an accident on my record until this listing.  I will see if I can have that removed since I was not found guilty.

If you factor in the extra set of tires, roughly a $1,200 value, it should offset any of the minor defects I mentioned above.  I think this is priced to sell quickly.  If you have a local mechanic I'm fine with having the truck brought down there at your expense.  If you don't have a good local mechanic, I would suggest Ron's Toy Shop, they are the best Toyota mechanic in the southern NH region in my opinion.

Weekly Recap: Ford GT inspires guitar, foosball table, sailboat

Sat, Apr 18 2015

Ford design vice president Moray Callum had just wrapped up a briefing on the interior of the Ford GT last month, but something seemed out of place. He grinned and pointed behind him, "You might be wondering why I have a boat behind me," he said mischievously. It was there because Ford set its designers on a mission to stretch and showcase their talents: design non-automotive objects inspired by the interior of the GT supercar. Callum received quite a response, too. His team produced a guitar, a foosball table (yeah bro!), a racing sailboat, a Wi-Fi speaker and some furniture. As the veteran design chief explained, "It's a really great exercise both to highlight our designers' talents, but also to really see how our design philosophy can work and how you can use it and get a common response back from a worldwide design team." Guitar View 25 Photos The objects have been on display this week at the Salone del Mobile furniture and fashion design fair in Milan, Italy, where Ford has had a presence for three years. There's also a light exhibition that apparently was inspired by the GT, as well. While this might seem a little far-fetched for the automaker, Ford said exhibitions like the Salone del Mobile give its designers another way to be creative and ultimately produce striking interior style. Ford wants this to be a differentiator, as research shows consumers are placing emphasis on the layout and features inside when they're making a decision about buying a new car. It's a little light hearted – but it's also potentially big business. Other News & Notes Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for Buick General Motors product chief Mark Reuss said the Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for a large Buick, though "not yet," Automotive News reported. The underpinnings can accommodate rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and would give Buick the large flagship it lacks. The report jibes with comments Reuss made at a roundtable with Autoblog and other reporters at the New York Auto Show. When asked if Buick had space for a large car on the CT6 chassis, he replied, "Yeah, I think it does. Yeah, I think we do." Buick has revamped its lineup in recent years with attractive crossovers and small and midsize sedans, but hasn't added the proverbial flagship that's yearned for by enthusiasts. Buick surprised industry observers with the stylish Avenir concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year that raised the possibility of a halo sedan.
