Toyota 2UZ-FE. Powerful, torquey, and near indestructible. Also, Toyota had the ah-hah moment to take an engine designed for pickups and heavy duty applications and cram it into the 4Runner.

As an owner of a 1990 Lexus LS400, may I vote for the 1UZ-FE. Not as powerful, but absolutely indestructible. It's a non-interference engine, which means the timing belt can snap and all you have to do is put on a new timing belt.
