1998 Toyota 4Runner SR5 review from North America
"This is a nice, reliable vehicle."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I purchased this vehicle, I have had to replace the power antenna twice. Each time, the antenna quit working without any warning.
The leather on the driver's seat had cracked areas on one side when I purchased the vehicle off lease. Within one year, this area had spread, to become a large hole. The cushion is now exposed.
The cup/drink holder in the front of the vehicle is very flimsy. It broke within one year of my ownership.
General comments?
In spite of the problems reported, I am pleased with this vehicle. It has been very reliable and continues to perform well, even with high mileage.
