Toyota 4Runners

**86 IROC-Z** · 09-06-2009, 12:54 PM

I've always liked these SUVs and am interested in a later third generation (lul) one. If you have or previously have had one please fill me in on the pros/cons etc.

I know they have bad gas mileage. I prefer the Limited models. Will want an Auto. Probably will choose RWD over AWD. Will not be modded/lifted etc.

In Before:
- they're terrible
- buy American
- buy an LS1
- but your 3rdgen is cool (wut)

Mine drinks water too! Yay steel intake gaskets and whoever came up with that genius idea.. One of my friends has a hand me down '96 and it's bulletproof. It's the little interior stuff that annoys me. Like the seatbelt locks that keep you from moving forward are broken and stay locked, always annoying. Just little stuff

Their trucks are about a solid as mash potatoes. I have seen alot of those bastards go down when they shouldn't have. Might just be my experiences with them.......

my friend was is a car wholesaler and i have also has the same conversation a few years back.asked my wife about 4-runners yesterday and she said "yeah,i wanted one to go with the Trans Am".

Every 4runner i see looks like the it has suspension sag in the rear hahaha.

My mom use to have one, put 250,000 miles on it before she traded it. Pretty good vehicle, she kinda misses it.

**1SSWFO** · 09-07-2009, 08:01 PM

Had a 95, no problems after 80k miles. Got 87 with 209k miles, still running strong. Hey I love my SS but Toyota makes some good shit ! My brother works for them 0 probs out of that model except shitty MPG?

**jsmith564`** · 09-07-2009, 08:50 PM

it's not a runner but my yota 4x4 runs like a champ and has 200,000miles..

the 3.4 thats in them runners are great. lots of power from a v6 standpoint. it's been said a zabillion times.. but yota makes a good product.

when the engineers are scratching

their heads in the lab and wondering how an oem spark plug failed with 200,000miles on it and say "thats just not acceptable"

, well friends.. thats just dedication
