Not one complaint from me.The previous owner had to change a four wheel relay switch. The dealer did this just before I bought the SUV. It only cost $108.The rest is just regular maintenance.Mostly consisting of fluid changes.

General Comments:

Great tuck for a sports oriented person.lot`s of room for hockey bags.

In the snow it handles great.

Fuel economy could be better, but still acceptable.

The man I bought the car from told me that he had, had the starter fixed at 55,000 miles. As far as I know that is the only thing that has gone wrong besides a few leaks that were fixed easily.

General Comments:

This car is such a great buy! It is very reliable and runs great. The only thing that annoys me about the car is how long it takes to "warm up." When you first start it after a long night in the garage the engine sounds as though its trying to make the poor thing go air born. I talked to the mechanic about it and he said this is perfectly normal and occurs in most of the later model 4-runners. The handling is nice and the power is sufficient. Over all I would say this is a very good car!

Faults:

The rear springs were recalled and replaced free of charge at 150,000 miles.

The rear axle bearings have been replaced twice now, but I do pull a 3,000 pound trailer.

Other than that, an oxygen sensor was replaced yesterday.

General Comments:

This has been a fantastic rig! It still looks new in and out and I foresee driving it for another 100,000 miles.

Faults:

I have only had to do standard maintenance on the vehicle - at 100,000 at had all major belts (timing, etc.) replaced as a preventative.

General Comments:

I usually have traded vehicles every 3 years... but I finally found a vehicle that I will keep until the wheels fall off! The integrity of the body after 6 years is outstanding. It has been incredibly dependable. I have many comments that it still looks, rides, and handles as though it is brand new.

Faults:

The rear axle seals went out at 42,000 miles and were replaced under the warranty. They failed again at 51,000 miles and the mechanic found that the Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve on the differential was installed back-wards causing pressure to build up and blow out the seals. Once this was corrected there has been no further problem.

The clutch pedal has developed an annoying squeak.

The power is not all it could be in two wheel high pulling steep mountain roads.

General Comments:

A very reliable vehicle. It has never used more than a quart of oil between oil changes at 7,500 miles using synthetic oil. I have used Slick 50 every 20,000 miles.

The turning radius is really great.

In 4-wheel low it will go anywhere you want. I have pulled several Ford Explorers and Nissan Pathfinders out of holes with it.

This is an Alaskan vehicle that was bought from an Alaskan Pipeline contractor who uses nothing, but Toyota 4-Runners because of their reliability.

It is a great car for traveling. Our family of four has taken several very long trips in it, including an 8,000 mile journey through Central America.

It has traveled the Alaskan Highway four times, once in the dead of winter at 40 below zero with 1,800 miles of blizzard conditions.
