The 4Runners are expensive compared to other vehicles because they are well built, reliable, and safe. Toyota has been making these trucks for decades now and has gotten good at making them. They have a solid reputation for being able to handle any terrain you can throw at them. They are built tough enough to go through anything you could encounter off-road. Toyota's iconic off-roader has been around for over 30 years and has been in production since 1984. The first generation 4Runners are considered classics now, and the value is up. Buyers are willing to pay more for a vehicle that lasts. Plus, 4Runners has excellent resale value. If you're looking for a used truck in good condition and don't mind paying more than you would for another vehicle, then buying a used 4Runner would be a good choice.
