1993 Toyota 4Runner 4WD SR5 review from North America
"Great quality vehicle that will get through most obstacles."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The original (10+ year old) alternator needed replacement.
General comments?
Handles responsively on and off road. The steering and suspension are nice on the highway thanks to the independent front suspension (IFS).
The 2WD/4WD shift on the fly is very convenient.
Rear ABS (V6 option) seems to be ineffective.
When fully loaded with passengers/cargo, this model (1990-95) is easy to roll when executing emergency avoidance maneuvers at speeds of 40-45 mph.
