1995 Toyota 4Runner SR5 review from North America
"Reliable, tough, well built"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought Extended Warranty, in for noisy power steering, water pump, alternator, but dealer (Barnett Toyota, Coquitlam, BC) said just needed belt adjustment/lubrication. Quieter, but still noisy and six months later brought in for head gasket recall and suddenly needed new water pump, power steering pump and idler gears!!! Replaced clutch at 185,00 KM, still had 25% pad!
Rad looking little corroded.. no big deal.
General comments?
Extremely reliable vehicle, but dealer not trust-worthy. I'll find another dealer for next Toyota.
Engine under-powered for this vehicle on highway, but good off-road.
