I'm surprised considering the head gasket issues and heat issues due to the exhaust crossover on the back side of the 3vze engine. I figured they would have said the 5vze instead of the 3vze as the those 3.4L V6's are often one of the motors many folks do swaps for.
I'm lucky. I bought a used 1st Gen 4Runner with the 3vze this summer. It had a fairly fresh (<1k miles) rebuild from the bottom to the top, not just the heads and new head gasket like most. The motor runs great and is the only thing I'm not having to sort out on the vehicle. With that rebuild and the upgraded/improved head gaskets installed, hopefully another 300k+ miles of no major engine issues for me.
