1986 Toyota 4Runner Standard review from North America
"It has been an enjoyable and dependable vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket at150,000 miles. Lost the clutch, had it rebuilt and only got 20,000 miles on the repair before I had to replace it again.
General comments?
I have done a lot of repairs on this truck myself due to the fact that this year model is a Heinz 57. Whenever I did a repair and called parts departments at the dealerships, I found that my 1986 had parts that were not supposed to be on it. It was a mid-year model change, which makes it more difficult to pinpoint and fix problems. This truck is 20 years old and still going and I don't want to get rid of it! I love my truck.
