1993 Toyota 4Runner SR5 review from North America

"Great, Dependable SUV"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Brakes went real bad at about 129000miles... Most of the brake lines disintegrated, right front caliper froze.

Rear Window Motor doesn't work which is a common problem with the older generation 4Runners... the rear window seal is bad and the water seeps through and rusts the gears.

Minor Rust not much for the year.

Average stuff such as Tires, oil, air filter, tune-up, etc.

Had a bad idle when I purchased it... Replaced Plugs, Wires, Distributor Cap and Rotor, but now is good.

General comments?

This car is pretty dependable besides the normal things. I bought it for only $3000 which is $2000 below Kelley blue book value. So I got a pretty good deal, however, I spent $630 to get the brakes repaired, $550 for new tires (Over-sized), and about $100 on the stuff for the tune-up. So that puts me pretty close to that value now. It runs great now on and off-road. A Pleasure to drive, especially on the highway. Off-Road the truck is a beast... She will pull through much of anything.. I even pulled out a G.M.C Jimmy, which was buried in mud up to the fenders, with ease! I bought it with a monster brush guard and recently put some Baja off-road lights on it... Makes the truck look like one mean machine. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a great, dependable, versatile SUV.
