Today we bring you a very clean-looking 1999 Toyota 4Runner SR5.

It's a four-cylinder automatic with two-wheel drive. It has apparently been owned by the same person since 2001 and well-maintained.

New parts include new spark plugs, new distributor cap and rotor, new spark plug wires, new tires, new master cylinder, and new valve cover gasket.

According to seller, the vehicle runs and drives well and the only thing that doesn't work is the digital clock.

It appears this truck has never been in an accident, and the only damage appears to be rock chips and that sort of exterior wear and tear.

Check out this Texas-based truck here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I just read an article on another site about the 2001-2007 Sequoia and it's million mile capability as a Toyota truck for relatively cheap providing it has a solid frame and you do your own repair work . I was thinking the same thing about a Honda Element on a much smaller scale of course .

I had a v6 3rd gen 4runner. Head gasket blew at less than 100k miles. Rust was starting and I live in a desert. Everyone keeps telling me how reliable it was.

Varezhka Probably another way to spread the EV manufacturing risk, especially with the ever changing tariff and tax credit/subsidy situation all over the world. With enough shared engineering it will be easier to share production capacity between the two companies.
Jor65756038 The last time I went to a Nissan dealership, there were only SUV´s and crossovers. I prefer to drive one of those old sedans but I will never buy an SUV or a crossover. Not everybody like SUV´s or crossovers or is willing to buy one no matter ehat.
Varezhka Renault Twizy, or I guess it's Mobilize Duo now. Neat looking, and these microcars and mopeds are one of the few place where BEVs actually makes sense environmentally.
Probert Most KIA/Hyundais are based on the e-gmp modular platform, but not all, and that's where I see Lucid's drivetrain coming in. It is arguably the most efficient, powerful and importantly, compact drivetrain in the business. A car like the Genesis G80 or GV70, which are derived from ICE cars, could benefit from these characteristics as batteries and motors are shoehorned into the chassis.
