1990 Toyota 4Runner SR5 review from North America
"Got my monies worth and still am"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The left front brake cylinder seized at about 150000 km then the right one went a little after.
The back window started giving grief at about 300000 km. Got a new motor for it finally at 475000 km when it finally died.
Do my one oil changes every 5000 km.
That's pretty much it.
I have only taken it to the dealer once for the recall they had for the steering linkage.
Still running the original motor. Not rebuilt.Still gets 575 km on a tank of gas (Highway).
Every thing else is original. (drive train,etc.)
Starting to burn a little oil when doing city driving.
General comments?
It has always lacked power due to the 4 cylinder engine, but it gets me there and keeps going.
