1999 Toyota 4Runner SR5V-6 review from North America
"Excellent value. Very solid truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear bumper was replaced under warranty at 30,000 km because of some pitting and discoloration.
General comments?
This has been without a doubt the best vehicle I have ever owned. It needed nothing, but oil changes and new rubber for the entire time I owned it and even with 267,000 km. it still had 50% of the original brake material left on both pads and shoes. The rotors and drums were not in need of turning even after all this driving. Resale value was $13,000.
