Toyota 4Runner Depreciation

A Toyota 4Runner will depreciate 19% after 5 years and have a 5 year resale value of $44,562.

The Toyota 4Runner ranks in our Top 10 for both the 5-year and 7-year rankings, and does very well for retaining its value over time. The 4Runner has been in production since 1984, and has a very loyal following. If you can find one in good shape, without a ton of miles on it, it could be your next SUV for the next decade. Make sure it hasn't spent too much time on the beach or in the woods, however, as owners tend to really use this vehicle as an off-roader.

The chart below shows the expected depreciation for the next 10 years. These results are for vehicles in good condition, averaging 12,000 miles per year. It also assumes a selling price of $55,260 when new. Enter your purchase price, expected ownership period and estimated miles driven annually. Our depreciation calculator will predict an expected resale value for the Toyota 4Runner.

Buying a Toyota 4Runner New vs Used

If you purchase a used Toyota 4Runner that is 2 years old, then you could save $6,079 compared to buying new, and still have a relatively new model with plenty of useful life remaining. If you plan to keep this vehicle for 3 years then your total cost of depreciation would be $4,619. Try other age and ownership length combinations, or different vehicles to see if you can find depreciation sweetspots where this cost is the lowest. Hint: Try vehicles between 2 and 4 years old, as brand new vehicles depreciate quickly. Also, if this is a recently released model and buying a few years old isn't possible, consider another vehicle, or perhaps wait until more used 4Runner models become available.

What About Toyota 4Runner Insurance Costs?

The average cost to insure a Toyota 4Runner is about $1,478 per year. This adds up to around $7,390 after 5 years of vehicle ownership. Unlike depreciation, this expense can often be lowered by shopping around for lower insurance premiums. Comparing quotes will ensure that you are not overpaying if you already own a Toyota 4Runner.
