Hi Scotty,
I've been looking for a family hauler for camping, travel, everyday, etc. for the kids and I. I've come to the realization that I need to buy a Toyota. <--- Like a "Come to Jesus" moment, but I've already come to Jesus, 😇 so we'll call it a "Come to Scotty" moment... Does that work for you?! 🤪 🤪 😛
I've got it narrowed down to a few:
2003 Toyota 4Runner
Price: $7,994
Mileage: 155,658

Price
$5,999
Well, realize, the 4runner and Sienna are 2 completely different vehicles. The 4runner is an RWD-based body-on-frame SUV designed to go adventuring and off-roading. The Sienna is an FWD-based Minivan that is designed to give u loads of space, haul stuff, and go on long road trips. It really comes down to what you want and prioritize. If you are not fussy about the fuel economy, you don't mind sacrificing some seats and space, you want the most rugged and adventure-ready SUV that can run forever, buy the 4runner. Otherwise, buy the 2006 Sienna that has 101 801 miles, since the 2009 Sienna u listed is a little too much. Just make sure you have them all checked out and that they are all in good shape and everything is working, especially the 4runner since older 4runners are bad for rust, depending on where you live.
I noticed Rusted frame/structure disclosed by seller based on results of a visual inspection on the Carfax, the 4runner is best avoided.
if that's the case, then buy the Sienna.

That means choose Sienna.
Somebody tell me what's up with cars without hubcaps... or "wheel covers?"
The 2003 was also the first year of that series 4runner, no major issues but always best to get a few years into the series. The 4.7 v8 was also a bit newer, and tweaked out much more around 2005-6. Also best to get the V6 really with the 4runner, less maintenance, and slightly better MPG.
Sienna won't be nearly as fun, but sure will haul your family around really well.

The last car I owned that came with hubcaps was a 1972 Olds Cutlass. Some of the cheaper cars now come with hubcaps that make them look like they have styled aluminum wheels.
