car_truckReliability is the headline here—delivered not as a slogan, but as a proven way of life. This pre-owned 2014 Toyota 4Runner SR5 wears its 01G3 Magnetic Gray Metallic paint like armor, and with 191,986 kilometers on the odometer, it makes a compelling case for value: a capable, body-on-frame SUV that was built to last and built to work. Under the hood is Toyota’s steadfast 4.0L V6, paired to a 5-speed automatic with overdrive and lock-up for steady, predictable power delivery. Multi-Mode four-wheel drive with a manual transfer case brings authentic, mechanical engagement to your fingertips, while a transmission cooler and Class III towing equipment underscore the vehicle’s appetite for real utility.
This 4Runner does its best work where lesser crossovers call it a day.
A double-wishbone front suspension and a rugged, coil-sprung rear setup are matched with gas-pressurized shocks and ventilated disc brakes at all four corners. Stability control, traction management, hill start assist, and hill descent control cooperate quietly in the background, granting confidence on loose gravel, wet boat ramps, and snowy switchbacks. Three underbody skid plates stand ready for the occasional misjudged rock, and a full-size spare means you’re not negotiating with a donut tire when the track turns unfriendly. Speed-sensitive hydraulic steering keeps feedback natural on pavement yet calm over corrugations, while 17-inch alloy wheels strike the right balance between sidewall cushion and trail precision.
Inside, the cabin is purposeful without feeling spartan. Premium cloth seating with an 8-way power driver’s seat and lumbar support sets a comfortable tone for long days, and a leather-wrapped shifter and steering wheel add tactile quality.
The second row folds 40/20/40 to tailor cargo and passenger space, with tie-downs and concealed storage to keep gear orderly. Everyday conveniences are thoughtfully covered: keyless entry, one-touch power windows front and rear, multiple 12V outlets, garage door integration, and a trip computer that’s actually easy to read. A 6.1-inch display anchors Bluetooth phone and audio, with steering-wheel controls to keep attention forward, while a rearview camera and parking sensors simplify tight urban maneuvers after a weekend in the backcountry.
Lighting is thoroughly considered—projector headlamps, LED brake lights, fog lamps, and daytime running lights bolster visibility—while heated side mirrors, a rear wiper with defroster, and deep-tinted glass keep the view clear in difficult weather. Roof rails stand ready for racks and cargo boxes, and running boards add practicality without shouting about it.
If your next SUV needs to be more than a commuter with big tires, this 4Runner SR5 delivers the substance: proven mechanicals, genuine four-wheel-drive capability, and Toyota’s long-game approach to durability, all wrapped in an unflashy, Magnetic Gray Metallic finish that still looks sharp years on. It’s the kind of value you can take with you—into the city on Monday and well past the pavement by Friday.
