1997 Toyota 4Runner Limited review from North America
"Expensive to purchase, but a long lasting investment"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
