4runners rock after driving my pops 00 4runner v6 manual i think i might get one to i drive an accord and its pretty poweful for a v4 did alot of stuff to it . back to the subject ne one know what gen of 4runner i should get. cant cost to much i got about 18gs saved up was planning on using it for my accord but after driving the 4runner i rather get one.
i also got a 94 civic ex coupe to do a trade in it gots about 60k milage on there does ne one know how much i could get? any advice would be nice thnx

Stay away from 3.0L and 4.0L V6's if you like a zippy ride with decent MPG's
Your dads was a 3.4L V6 which,well yeah it rocked lol

sell you my 94', or trade for that civic. 3.0 not bad with a 2wd. ive been getting 16/21 since i bought it.

Get a '99 to '02 with 3.4L V6. Not extremely powerful, but one of the most reliable vehicles you can buy. If you need power, you can always add a supercharger from TRD. Bolts right on. You can even modify it further without sacrificing reliability. A serious truck engine.

You were going to drop 18 grand into a 96 Accord? I'm glad you got to drive something else.

yeah, 3.4L 4runner is probably best.. unless you can find a very new one w/ the 4.7 L V8, though that would be an auto tranny (as far as i know >.> )

i plan to get a late 80s/early 90s runner w/ the 4cyl. 22RE engine, but thats cuz im poor and need somethin to have fun w/ =p

but yeah, go for the 3.4L, and if you can get one, the 4.7L

Manual transmissions are relatively hard to find.

Buy this one.
