The fifth-generation 4Runner is not uniformly clean. Safety Connect was standard factory hardware on the 2010 Limited and optional on other trims through the generation, which is why 2010-2019 4Runners appear on Toyota’s 3G retirement list. The targets are SR5 and Trail/TRD trims verified without the option: inspect for the SOS button, run the VIN. Avoid the Limited unless you are deliberately accepting, and ideally removing, dead Safety Connect hardware.
Verified clean, nothing else in the price range lasts as long. The 4Runner sits at the top of long-term durability data year after year, with body-on-frame construction, a proven 4.0L V6, and available 4WD for rural roads and bad weather. The tradeoff is fuel: roughly 17 city / 22 highway. If you do not need the towing or off-road capability, the RAV4 is the smarter buy.
