2003 Toyota 4runner Limited Sport Utility 4-door 4.7l on 2040-cars

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.
