This 1999 Toyota 4Runner SR5, offered at $23,000 with 230,500 miles, is a properly sorted third-gen built for longevity and real-world drivability. Located in El Paso, Texas, it pairs Toyota’s legendary 3.4L V6 platform with a Magnuson Gen 5 supercharger, backed by extensive recent servicing including a full 230k-mile refresh, new paint in 2023, and long-term ownership since 2012. It’s the kind of high-mile example that’s been maintained with intention—not neglected.
- Third-Gen Legacy: The 3rd gen (1996–2002) 4Runner is widely regarded as the sweet spot for Toyota SUVs, blending modern reliability with classic body-on-frame durability. Known for their longevity and simple, overbuilt engineering, clean examples—especially well-maintained ones like this—continue to command strong interest among enthusiasts.
- Boosted 5VZ-FE Power: Under the hood is Toyota’s proven 3.4L DOHC V6, now enhanced with a Magnuson Gen 5 supercharger for added power without sacrificing reliability. Recent service at 230k miles includes timing belt, water pump, radiator, seals, hoses, transmission lines, and a full tune-up, ensuring this drivetrain is ready for continued use.
- Refinished Exterior: The truck received new paint, undercoating, and refinished mag wheels in 2023, giving it a clean, refreshed look that stands out from typical high-mile examples. Sitting at factory height with refreshed suspension components, it maintains a classic, functional stance paired with all-terrain tires.
- Clean, Purposeful Interior: Inside, the cabin remains true to the 4Runner’s utilitarian roots: Simple, durable, and built for use. While not overbuilt or heavily modified inside, it reflects a well-kept, long-term ownership approach focused on function and longevity.
- Long-Term Ownership: Owned by the current seller since 2012, this 4Runner has benefited from over a decade of consistent care and documented servicing. The CARFAX shows 24 service records, four total owners, and two minor damage reports (2018 and 2022), with no structural damage or total loss reported.
There are two types of high-mile 4Runners: tired ones, and properly sorted ones. This is firmly in the second category. The addition of the Magnuson supercharger transforms the driving experience, while the extensive recent maintenance addresses the major service intervals that typically scare buyers away at this mileage. Add in long-term ownership, refreshed cosmetics, and a well-documented service history, and you’ve got a third-gen that’s already been brought back to a strong mechanical baseline without losing its original character. For someone who understands what these trucks are and what they’re capable of, this is a turn-key, enthusiast-grade driver.
