I've had an 88 22RE 4Runner, a 98 4runner (also 4 cyl) and my dad currently has an '08. All three were crazy reliable, but especially the '88 and '98. I will say if you get the 4 cyl 1st gen model, don't expect to accelerate up an on-ramp, they are very slow but they will slowly climb up a damn wall if you want them to. The '98 was a Ferrari compared to the '88 when I got it. The only issue with the '88 we EVER had was rough running once, my dad thought "ok, this is it" took it to the shop and $60 later in new spark plug wires it was good as new. Sold it 13 years/135,000 miles after new for 60% of what we paid out the door.

'98 is a similar story...dad loves his '08. Basically, I don't think you can go wrong with whatever year you choose.
