1988 Toyota 4Runner SR5 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
During its long life, I have had to replace head gasket once at about 150,000 miles. The rear window has been a problem issue for this vehicle. I have had to replace several motors to the window, but that is the worst I can say about this wonderful SUV.
General comments?
It has traveled all over the US and it has never let me sit. I have used it as a personal car, farm vehicle, towing vehicle, camping vehicle and just about anything else you can imaging. Would have another, but the price is now out of my range. Would absolutely recommend this vehicle. It is almost like a "good friend"...reliable and trustworthy.
