    I've seen a couple 4th Gen T4Rs with aftermarket backup cameras, but this example seems to have a factory backup camera. It has a touch-screen navigation head unit that appears to be OEM, and the actual backup camera is mounted slightly to the right and appears to attached to the tailgate. Aftermarket backup cameras tend to be license plate frame-based and are mounted dead-center...

    As such, I believe this to be a 2009 model since 2009 seems to be the year when higher-end Toyotas started getting them as an option. For example, SR5 and higher Tacomas and Tundras started getting them for the 2009 model year.

    By comparison, I think the Prius started getting a backup camera as an option in 2006.

    The Land Cruiser and Lexus LX seem to have gotten backup cameras as far back as 2003. A friend of mine has a 2004 Lexus GX that came from the factory with a backup camera...



    Like I said, I believe this is a 2009 (last year for 4th Gen)!

    My parents and I went to visit family in California for Christmas in 2010; I was about 5 months away from FINALLY getting my driver's license, and still had a learner's permit...

    My cousin's husband had a 2006 SR5 4x4 and after we saw a movie (I believe it was the then-new Tron), he let me drive us back to my aunt and uncle's house from the movie theater!


    December 2010:

    Monterey, California




    At the time, this was the first time I'd ever gotten behind the wheel of a 4Runner...

    I spotted this 4th Gen SR5 in the parking lot next to my work; I believe it belongs to one of the construction workers at the apartment building next door. Normally, I do not get this close to a random vehicle in a parking lot, but it has "For Sale," along with a phone number, written in the back windows. In my opinion, anything identifying a vehicle as being for sale is an invitation to look at the vehicle and take a few pictures without being looked upon with suspicion and possibly being hassled...

    This T4R seems to be largely stock except for those awful rims and low-profile tires, all of the pointless aftermarket chrome bits, and a Pioneer single-DIN head unit. I'm guessing this is about a 2003-2005, and it is actually in decent condition. There is no price so I'm guessing the owner knows he has a decent T4R and is asking lot of money. Just put the stock wheels back on and remove all of that chrome shit, and you'd have yourself one hell of a rig!
