2001 Toyota 4Runner SR5

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The 2001 Toyota 4Runner SR5 represents a mature and highly refined stage of the SUV’s third generation (1996–2002), combining rugged capability with practical everyday usability. For the 2001 model year, Toyota simplified the lineup by discontinuing the 4‑cylinder engine and manual transmission, making the SR5 available exclusively with the proven 3.4‑liter 5VZ‑FE V6 paired with a 4‑speed automatic transmission. This configuration delivered dependable performance for both on‑road driving and off‑road exploration.

Standardized around the 5VZ‑FE 3.4‑liter V6—an iron‑block, aluminum‑head engine with sequential multi‑port fuel injection—the 2001 model adopted ETCS‑i (Electronic Throttle Control System‑intelligent), which introduced electronically-actuated throttle mapping to improve modulation and responsiveness across varying load conditions. The SR5 2WD shares the same solid platform as its 4WD counterpart, including a double‑wishbone front suspension and multi‑link coil‑spring rear. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums, a common layout for the era. Visually, the 2001 model year brought a redesigned grille, multi‑reflector taillights, and a standard pre‑wired trailer‑hitch harness.

Finished in Imperial Jade Mica over Oak cloth, this 2001 rear-wheel drive example reportedly received a factory-correct repaint in 2025. It is equipped with a 3-inch lift kit, aftermarket wheels wrapped in 33-inch Nitto tires, and a Pioneer stereo system.

This 2001 Toyota 4Runner SR5 is now offered at no reserve with a clean CARFAX history report, factory owner’s manuals, two keys, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
