Burned, rolled, crashed or just dead in the driveway, we buy 2003–2020 Toyota 4Runners with the 4.0L V6 for cash. Towing is free across the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles, and you get paid when we pick it up.
2003–2020 4Runner 4.0L V6: wrecked, burned, rolled or running. We will call you with a real offer.
We buy 4Runners with Toyota's 4.0L V6 (1GR-FE) engine, running or not. Here is what qualifies:
| Generation | Model years | Engine | Trims & drivetrain |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4th generation | 2003–2009 | 4.0L V6 1GR-FE (4.7L V8 was optional) | SR5, Sport Edition, Limited · 2WD and 4WD |
| 5th generation | 2010–2020 | 4.0L V6 1GR-FE (the only engine offered) | SR5, Trail, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, Limited, Nightshade · 2WD and 4WD |
Not sure which engine you have? Send us the VIN and we will check it for you.
The body can be a total loss. What we pay for is the drivetrain underneath it.
Engine-bay fire, interior fire or a full burn. Tell us where it started: a cab fire often leaves the 4.0L V6 untouched.
Crushed roof, broken glass, twisted body. Rollovers often spare the drivetrain, and that is what we pay for.
Front-end, rear-end or side impact, with or without deployed airbags.
Insurance total losses and salvage-title 4Runners are welcome.
No crank, overheated, or parked for years. We tow it either way.
Slipping, no reverse or stuck in gear. Just tell us what it does.
Bent frame, broken control arms, or a 4Runner that came off the trail on a flatbed.
250,000+ miles is normal for a 4.0L V6. Mileage alone won't scare us off.
The 1GR-FE 4.0L V6 is one of the most wanted engines Toyota ever put in an SUV. Owners and repair shops look for them to keep high-mileage 4Runners, Tacomas and FJ Cruisers on the road. That is why a 4Runner your insurance company calls a total loss can still be worth real money to us.
We look past the body. A 4Runner that rolled down an embankment, burned in a garage fire or took a hard front hit often still has a usable engine, transmission, transfer case and axles. That drivetrain is what we pay for, so don't settle for a scrap yard quote based on weight.
Both generations qualify: V6 4th-gen 4Runners from 2003–2009, and every 2010–2020 5th-gen 4Runner, since the 4.0L V6 was the only engine offered. 2WD or 4WD, base SR5 or TRD Pro, 150,000 miles or 350,000. Have a V8 4th gen or a newer 4Runner? Call anyway. We still buy it as a regular cash-for-cars vehicle.
The more we know about the engine and transmission, the faster and more accurate your offer.
Call (855) 613-4943 or use the form. VIN, mileage and a few photos get you the fastest offer.
We review the engine, transmission and damage, then make you a cash offer. No haggling, no obligation.
Accept and we tow your 4Runner for free, pay you at pickup, and handle the DMV release.
Yes. Roof and body damage matter far less to us than the drivetrain. Tell us whether the engine ran before the rollover and how quickly it was shut off afterward, since that tells us the most about the 4.0L V6 and transmission.
Yes. Where the fire started is the biggest factor. Interior and rear-cargo fires often leave the engine and transmission usable. A fire that started in the engine bay may lower the offer, but we still review it. Send a few photos of the engine compartment and we can usually quote quickly.
We are looking for 2003–2009 4th-generation 4Runners with the 4.0L V6, and all 2010–2020 5th-generation 4Runners, which came only with the 4.0L V6 (engine code 1GR-FE). 2WD and 4WD both qualify. V8 and newer 4Runners are still welcome as regular cash-for-cars vehicles.
Usually, yes. The transmission, transfer case, axles and body parts still have value. Call (855) 613-4943 and describe what happened. The offer reflects the condition, but a blown engine doesn't automatically rule your 4Runner out.
It depends mostly on the generation, the mileage, and whether the engine and transmission survived the damage. A 5th-gen 4WD with a healthy 4.0L V6 typically brings the most. Call (855) 613-4943 or send the form with your VIN and photos for a real number.
A clean or salvage title in your name is the fastest way to sell. If the title is lost, we can often still buy with your registration and ID, and we handle the DMV release. Call us and we will tell you exactly what you need.
Yes. Towing is free anywhere in the San Fernando Valley, including Sun Valley, Burbank, North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Sylmar and Northridge, and in nearby areas like Glendale and Pasadena. Give us your ZIP code to confirm pickup.
We are based in Sun Valley and tow for free throughout the Valley.
Running or not, we pay top dollar and tow it away for free, same day.
