Default Re: What to look for buying used 4runner

the power steering reservoirs on the V8 4Runner is so small that the fluid gets dirty pretty quick. Definitely look at that. Also, check for leaks where the actuator motor meets the transfer case, this is a well known issue on these and I hear can be expensive to fix. I don't think 60k miles is very high for a clean Toyota, especially if its been well maintained. That 4.7 V8 is amazing, mines got 118K on it and it runs great. Remember around 90K you're gonna have to do the timing belt and water pump.
