1997 Toyota 4Runner Limited review from North America
"Fun, reliable and useful SUV"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet. Had a transfer case leak, left e-brake cable had seized, needed new inner tie rod end prior to purchase. Dealer repaired.
General comments?
So far, I am very happy with my truck. I was just wondering if anyone has noticed that the breaking is "soft". My mechanic said it could be something as simple as air in the brake lines. Is this typical for this vehicle?
Otherwise, I am totally happy with this truck. This the first SUV I have owned and I find it handles very well for its size (I have driven many others: nissan x-terra, land rover discovery, jeep tj, nissan pathfinder). Can't wait to try it off-road.
