133,400 miles · $20,802 with $252 doc fee · 4.0L V6, 5-speed auto
Moose’s Verdict
Fair price. Legendary bones. Just 2WD.
$20,550 lands right around fair market for a 2016 SR5 with 133,400 miles — comparable 4Runners list $19k–$22k at these miles. What you are buying is the drivetrain: the 4.0L 1GR-FE V6 and 5-speed automatic are among the most proven combos Toyota ever built, with 300k-mile examples everywhere. Two honest knocks: it is rear-wheel drive (not 4WD) in a snow state, which narrows resale, and at 133k miles in the salt belt the frame needs a hard look for rust before money changes hands.
Price vs Market
$20,550 sits mid-range against $19k–$22k comps at similar miles — fair, not a steal.
★★★★★
History (VIN)
No AutoCheck score obtainable at verdict time. Same VIN previously listed out of state near $20k–$21k — consistent pricing, no games evident.
★★★★★
Maintenance & Reliability
The 4.0L V6 / 5-speed is legendary. Watch items at 133k: frame rust (Indiana salt), brake shimmy, and verify all 8 NHTSA recalls are complete.
★★★★★
Fuel Economy
17/21 MPG — thirsty, but you knew that coming in.
★★★★★
Dealership
4.8 stars on 34 Google reviews (Larwill 4.7/26, Goshen 5.0/8), but a public Jan 2025 complaint alleges a kept deposit at the Goshen store.
★★★★★
Vehicle History
No free AutoCheck score was obtainable for this VIN at verdict time. Public records show this same VIN listed previously out of state around $20k–$21k with consistent mileage — no odometer games evident. The 2016 model year was notably excluded from Toyota’s big fuel-pump recall (2014–15 and 2018–19 4Runners were covered), though a customer support program exists for 2015–2020 vehicles. Verify all 8 NHTSA recalls by VIN and pull a full history report before buying.

One public red flag on record: a January 2025 complaint alleges the Goshen location kept a buyer’s deposit after financing fell through. Worth asking about their deposit policy in writing before you put money down.

The fine print: this verdict is our opinion based on publicly available information at the time of analysis — price data, history sources, and dealer reviews. It is not financial advice. Always get an independent pre-purchase inspection and verify the history yourself before you buy.
