I've had a 2003 4runner with v8 since around March of 2003. It has 160,000 or so miles and it has had oil changes and tire changes, nothing else. It is the v8 with full time 4 wd. I'm not considering selling it, but if you found a clean one used, I'd recommend it a lot. It has probably been my most solid rig.
I had a 1998 4 runner with 5 spd. Sold it at around 150,000 and still regret it. I'd find a one owner 4runner if I was looking for used, anything at or under 150,000 miles should have a ton of life left.
