I've had two 4Runners, a '97 (totaled by my son) and my current '99. The '99 has 151,000 miles on it, and runs like a top. It's a Limited, with full leather and "wood". Bulletproof vehicle power-train wise, and based on a frame, not unibody. Been through some ridiculous snow last year that I had no business driving in. I've had this one about a 100k miles now, and give it five stars. The body style is looking a little dated, but has good lines and is solid. The new body style will be out of your 15k budget.
