4Runner: SR5 to Limited Opportunity

I only own one Toyota under 200k (well 2 but the tundras at 197k... close enough)
06 rolla with ~850k
05 tundra 197k
01 taco with 298k
that 4runner is not even close to broken in, the limited just has more creature comforts to potentially go bad.

 

omg, Rolla with 850k. are you original owner or did you buy with high miles??

 

My father bought it new. I bought it off him 2 years ago.Me and him have done the oil changes on it since the first one.

1 water pump, 1 alternator, 4 batteries, full set of struts, 7 sets of tires. 8 sets of front brakes, 2 sets of brake shoes and drums.

she’s been pretty low maintenance. It’s all highway miles. 20k oil change interval with Mobil 1 extended and a Toyota oil filter. Original engine and trans.

 

UPDATE: a couple months ago, i ended up buying the 2014 Limited 4R for my wife. Sold my 2014 SR5 4R for 22,500 (85,000 miles) and bought the 2014 Limited (with less miles, 50,000 mi) for $25,000. In the end, i figured the extra goodies and less miles was worth it.. oh ya and my wife wanted it so there's that too.

 

I still consider that pretty low milage. If you bought it brand new and took care of it, you’re perfectly fine. In the end, do whatever makes you and your wife happy. Good luck!

 

The more we drive the Limited, the more I like it and i'm happy that we decided to buy it. My wife likes it too so it's a win-win.

 

Glad your happy, you made a good swap!

I have gone through Sr5 4runners and moved up to limited with AWD. Night and day, huge improvement all around, way better in rain let alone real weather, or offroad. I also changed generations when I upgraded, so I got more motor which was awesome.

Then I moved up to the Tundra. Love the size and power, but miss my interior space badly.

Personally I don't understand buying any 2wd truck or suv, but whatever floats your boat and makes you, and the wife happy.

Like others have said;
Happy wife, happy life.

Totally agree with the comments about the Limited being 'better' in many ways. It's strange but steering, brakes, bad weather handles all seem to be much improved in the Limited.

This 4R is my wife's pavement princess so it's all good.
