Mike's Notes
I personally went through this 4Runner top to bottom, and this is the kind of truck I get excited to put on our lot. It's a true CARFAX 1-Owner that spent most of its life in Steamboat Springs — serviced religiously at Yampa Valley Tire Pros — and the service history reads like a textbook on how to keep a Toyota alive forever. Just before coming to us, it had an extensive service in August 2026 including fresh axles, axle seals, valve cover gaskets, oil & filter, and both engine and cabin air filters, so a lot of the maintenance a buyer would normally face is already done. The Driftwood Pearl paint still shows nicely, the Taupe interior is clean, and the factory tow hitch, roof rack, and tonneau cover make it genuinely trail- and road-trip-ready. For anyone who wants a reliable 4x4 for ski trips to Loveland, A-Basin, or Steamboat, this one is tough to beat — these V6 4Runners are known to run well past 250K miles when cared for, and this one clearly has been.

• Hill-Start Assist & Down-Hill Assist Control – Added confidence on steep Colorado grades, from Lookout Mountain to Red Rocks parking lots in winter.
• Skid Plates (Engine, Fuel Tank, Transfer Case) – Factory underbody protection means you can tackle forest service roads to trailheads without worry.
• Factory Tow Hitch & Ball Mount – Ready to pull your snowmobile trailer, small camper, or dirt bikes right out of our Denver lot.
