Seller's Notes
5-Speed Manual • 4WD • 107K Original Miles • 2 Owners • Florida Owned • Clean CarfaxThis 1996 Toyota 4Runner 4WD is a hard-to-find 5-speed manual example with just 107,000 original miles. Florida owned with only two owners, this car has been exceptionally well cared for and has received an extensive amount of recent mechanical work. This has been my personal passion project for the past three months. I personally replaced many of the original components with OEM or OEM-equivalent parts, with the goal of making this 4Runner as reliable as possible for its next owner while also enjoying the process of bringing it back to its best. The 4Runner runs and drives excellent, with cold A/C and no warning lights on the dashboard. It has a clean Florida title and clean Carfax.

About the 1996 Toyota 4Runner SR5
The 1996 Toyota 4Runner SR5 is part of the third-generation 4Runner lineup, widely regarded as one of Toyota's most durable and capable SUV generations. Built on a rugged body-on-frame platform, the 4Runner combines everyday practicality with genuine off-road capability.
The SR5 trim offers a great balance of features and utility, while the available 5-speed manual transmission and 4WD make these trucks particularly desirable among Toyota enthusiasts. The third-generation 4Runner is also known for its dependable drivetrain, straightforward mechanical design, and ability to accumulate high mileage when properly maintained.
Today, clean, low-mileage examples—especially 5-speed 4WD models—are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Their combination of Toyota reliability, classic styling, and genuine four-wheel-drive capability has made the 3rd-generation 4Runner a favorite among collectors, enthusiasts, and adventure-minded drivers.
