Delivering all of the practicality of a contemporary Japanese sedan in conjunction with the rugged capability of the epic Hilux, the first-generation Toyota 4runner is a perennial favorite among adventurers, beachgoers, and RADwood-era enthusiasts alike, and for good reason.

Featuring very simple yet accommodating design and legendary Toyota quality, these 4x4s exemplify the concept of “weekend warrior” perhaps better than any other. Use it as a normal car during the week, then pop off the removable top (or in this case, tilt back the SoftTopper soft top), and head for the beach.

This specific 4Runner is from the tail end of first-gen production, featuring the more powerful 3.0L V6 engine with a 5-speed manual transmission and independent front suspension. These engine and suspension developments together truly catapulted the vehicle into a new tier of capability as an everyday car, with noticeably more power than the venerable 2.4L four and much more precise road holding than the earlier solid front axle cars.

The recipient of a beautiful cosmetic restoration by a maniacal enthusiast owner, this 4runner boasts longtime west coast history and zero evidence of any corrosion whatsoever - which can be the most significant issue on these all-steel cars.

Fresh from comprehensive servicing including a new timing belt, new exhaust system, new suspension, BF Goodrich tires, and more, this is a fully sorted car ready for easy, dependable summer fun. A supremely low-risk entry point to the “vintage” car ownership experience.
