2016 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Premium

Beaver Direct Certified | 2016 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Premium | Body-on-Frame and the 4.0L V6: Why 4Runner Buyers Do Not Flinch at 126,981 Miles | 126,981 Miles
126,981 Miles | Classic Silver Metallic over Black/Graphite | Stock #T139613A | Beaver Direct Certified | SR5 Premium with Heated Front Seats, Navigation, Rearview Camera

There is a reason a 4Runner with 126,981 miles is still on a dealer lot with a warranty instead of at an auction. Almost every other mid-size SUV is a unibody, a car structure stretched into an SUV shape, and at this mileage they are deep into the second half of their lives. The 4Runner is built the way trucks are built: a steel ladder frame underneath, with the body bolted on top of it. The frame carries the loads, the body stays tight, and the drivetrain is a 4.0-liter V6 with a timing chain and port injection that Toyota has been building since 2003, mated to a five-speed automatic with fewer gears and fewer things to go wrong. That is why 4Runner owners talk about 200,000 miles the way other SUV owners talk about 100,000, and why this 2016 SR5 Premium is the kind of high-mileage vehicle we are willing to put the Platinum warranty behind.

The 4.0-liter V6 makes 270 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque, and it is rated to tow 5,000 pounds. It runs on regular unleaded, it has no turbocharger, and the parts to service it are in stock at every Toyota dealer and most independent shops in the country. Ask us to confirm the drivetrain on this unit; the 2016 4Runner was offered in two-wheel drive and part-time four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case, and the price and the use case follow that answer.

SR5 Premium is the SR5 with the comfort package built in. Heated front seats, an eight-way power driver's seat, the Entune Premium Audio system with navigation and the App Suite, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink, and a power tilt-and-slide moonroof were all part of the SR5 Premium specification. The paste for this unit also lists ventilated front seats; ask us to confirm that on the vehicle, since it was not standard on this trim. The cargo area is the 4Runner's other signature: a flat floor, a power rear window that drops into the tailgate, and 47 cubic feet behind the second row before you fold anything. Cruise control with steering wheel controls, a rearview camera, and brake assist are on this unit.

Safety on a 2016 4Runner is the mechanical kind. Eight airbags including driver and passenger knee airbags, vehicle stability control, traction control, anti-lock brakes with brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution, and the rearview camera. This model year predates Toyota Safety Sense on the 4Runner, so there is no radar cruise or automatic emergency braking on this vehicle; what it has instead is a frame, a hood you can see over, and a seating position that lets you place the truck exactly where you want it.

Classic Silver Metallic is the 4Runner color that hides road dust and trail mud best and shows the fewest scratches on a vehicle that has been used, and the Black/Graphite interior is the one that cleans up. At 126,981 miles, this 4Runner is well past every Toyota factory warranty, which is exactly why it is sold as Beaver Direct Certified with the Platinum warranty rather than as-is. Ask for the inspection report and the CARFAX; on a 4Runner at this mileage, the service history is the story.

Beaver Direct Certified
Every Beaver Direct Certified vehicle comes with the Platinum 12-Month/12,000-Mile Warranty, a $1,395 value, included in the price. Before it reached the lot this 4Runner went through reconditioning and a multi-point inspection, and we will show you the inspection report. Toyota's factory warranties have run out on this vehicle, so treat the Platinum warranty as the coverage; ask us and we will show you the terms in writing.

The Beaver 30-Day Exchange
Take it home for a month. Drop the rear window at a drive-through, load the flat cargo floor, take a gravel road, and have your own mechanic look at the frame. If it is not the right vehicle, bring it back within 30 days and exchange it for one that is.
