Yes, the Thule OutWay 3 Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier, part # TH56BV, will fit your 2001 Toyota 4Runner.

Your vehicle is compatible with a broad variety of 3-bike carriers, all of which can be seen on the link provided. Note that trunk-mount carriers will prevent use of the rear wiper.

The Thule OutWay 3 includes integrated locks for both the carrier itself and your bikes, uses 2 strong steel cables for mounting (rather than 6 wear-prone nylon straps) and features the patented Thule Fit-Dial mounting system for easy installation.

If you will be transporting bikes for women or kids, or any bike that has an unusual frame design, you may benefit from using an adapter bar such as the Thule # TH982XT. The bar attaches between the seat and handlebar posts to provide a level mounting surface to mate with the carrier arms and helps to maintain safe ground clearance.
