1990 Toyota 4Runner SR5 review from North America
"Most awesome vehicle ever!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head-gasket blew at 150000, but there was a recall on it and it was replaced.
I blew the head gasket again at 200000 and it was replaced again at a dealer in Kansas City at no charge.
The coolant fan blew up at 250000. Tore up a lot inside the front compartment.
General comments?
This is the best truck for the money.
Seriously comfortable and rugged.
Awesome in every condition snow, sand, dirt/mud, and highway.
I think the old 4 runner rides better than the new, it still felt like a truck.
