1998 Toyota 4Runner Limited review from North America
"Luxurious, Good looking, off-roading machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear door handle mechanism has started to rust causing the handle to stick.
Rear window wiper just went out a week ago.
Rust started to develope on the front lip of the hood about a year ago, but still hasn't managed its way through yet.
15 m.p.g.
General comments?
This SUV has almost taken care of itself. I got the car as a hand-me-down from my mother which she bought new. She always had me do the easy repairs on it like, oil change every three thousands mile, air filter, brake pads, rotors once, wipers, and head lights once. We have always treated the car nicely and it has been nice to us. It does awsome in the snow. I have taken it trail riding three or four times, two of them being muddy and its low gears had it creeping out with no problem.
This SUV is perfect for someone who wants a sweet looking, clean and capable truck. The only problem I have with it is the fuel economy. With the rising gas prices I am just tired of paying for gas. But none the less I love this vehicle.
