1995 Toyota 4Runner SR5 review from North America

"Ran well up till the head gasket blew"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I previously owned a 95 eclipse had nothing, but problems with that car 3 transmissions 3 motors. so I got rid of it.

I know 3 other people with Toyota pick-ups with the v6 3.0, They always liked them and never seemed to really give them problems.

I bought mine and sure as the grass is green two out of the 3 blow head gaskets. Then 10K later mine blows people were saying "ever think it could be the driver?" well no way its the driver when 3 out of 4 of those motors have blown head gaskets it's completely uncalled for.

I expected something that would last me longer then 6 months, I haven't even made my 6th payment yet.

I'm pissed anyone wanna sue. I DO, but we know it won't happen, but if anyone gets anywhere with it sign me up.

I do the work myself so it saves me money that way, but for you guys that pay mechanics. I feel real bad for you.

It's extremely hard to make payments on a freaking car and pay for a 300 dollar head gasket set and 70 dollar head bolts. while your in there might as well get a timing belt save your self the money there's another 100 bucks. you know that will go soon and there's another 700 bucks for a mechanic to fix. just to let everyone know that's around the price of the parts you will be paying for. 100 bucks to get the heads tested there's 600 bucks in its self that's assuming everythin goes right and all you need is those parts, and you get a good mechanic that don't scam you, cause that happens quite often that's why I do all the work myself can't scam myself. For all you out there that's a general overview of what your paying for. Always make sure they get the heads tested or you'll regret that down the road when the head gasket blows again and you crack the head. I'm sorry this is so long, but I wanna help other people out, because I'm pissed and suffering without a car. It's all Toyota's fault, for not standing behind their product and screwing the consumer US it's a big pile of BS if you ask me. We want a car that will last past 120K without dropping 2000 into it for most people don't ya think.
