1986 Toyota 4Runner SR5 review from North America
"I love what Toyota did for me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Other than normal or exceeding part life, nothing.
General comments?
The four banger is underpowered but gets acceptable 20-22 combination driving.
Original paint looks great, interior holds up extremely well and it's one tough, solid truck. Owned a cherry '88 4Runner and two weeks later was involved in head-on battle with a Ford F150, completely totaled the Ford, mine won and I lived!
The '86 is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned and I will have it buried with me.
