1995 Toyota 4Runner SR5 review from North America
"Will never leave you stranded!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My cylinder head gasket blew after owning this car for 1 week.
It was a relatively easy repair that cost under $200.
General comments?
This 4Runner is a 4 cylinder model and is great on highway, not so terrific in the city. My previous vehicle was also a 4Runner, but a 3.0L V6-a truly magnificent engine that cannot be killed.
4Runners seriously need larger gas tanks, a 50L tank is a real pain for a vehicle of it's size.
My other 4Runner a 1990 has 363,000 on the engine and it runs like clockwork. It has had a few age associated problems, but I cannot complain. I bought it 10 years ago for $6500 and I am selling it now for $3000.
4Runners are difficult to kill, but I would highly recommend you choose the V6 engine with manual transmission.
