At 250,000 miles I had to have a couple of oil leaks fixed. The oil pan gasket and the manifold seal were both leaking.
I replaced the battery at 225,000 miles.
I have gone through two speedometer cables over the last ten years.
I have replaced the brakes once.
Otherwise, the only costs have been normal maintenance.
I love my 4runner. I have a 4 cylinder and I know that it is underpowered. I don't feel the need to beat anyone at an intersection when the light turns green.
It is the most dependable vehicle I have owned.
Unfortunately, this truck will never quit. In our family, we keep a vehicle until the costs of keeping it running exceed the costs of a new vehicle. Consequently, it will be the last vehicle I ever own.
I consistently get 22-25 mpg. I am conservative driver-no gratuitous acceleration.
And people say these cars don't last. They're crazy.
