Probably the best First Truck/SUV to get

by payalprabhu
Mar 30 '03 - Updated May 02 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Feels like a truck, stable in rain/snow, not too pricey after 10yrs
Cons: Head gasket recall, gas guzzler, some squeaking (old truck!)
The Bottom Line: I would definitely buy this truck again! Its versatile enough for no-nonsense street driving and fun enough to turn into a monster truck!

I just bought my used 1993 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6 4WD a few months ago. I bought it with 93k miles on it and in perfect condition. I took it to a Pep Boys shop where they did a complete 120-point checkup on it and the only problem it had was a...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Comfortable interior, good-looking exterior, low-end torque, dependable, cheap parts

I have owned a 4Runner for almost 2 years now and I have always been happy with this SUV. The seats are very low to the ground to provide a lower center of gravity for off-roading. I have the SRV5 6 cylinder 5-speed version. Its one of the lower-end ...

Tough as a Billy Goat

by bayport24
Dec 15 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Excellent Toyota quality. Riding height, narrow width and design make it "safari worthy"
Cons: Rear seat has poor leg room. 20 more horsepower
The Bottom Line: This is why Toyota is a well respected brand. The craftsmanship is first rate It handles well and can cruise anywhere from suburbia to the Outback.

I inherited this 4Runner from my father in 1999 when my Honda Civic was totaled. He gave it to me so he could buy a 2000 4Runner. My father takes GREAT care of his vehicles, and when I got this baby it only had 37,000 miles on it. It now has 118,000 ...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Style. Runs great. Comfortable. Great in bad weather

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this to everyone. Very dependable. Better than most other suv's

When I first saw the 4 runner I had to have it. I wanted a 4 wheel drive anyhow, and loved the look of the Toyota. Only 93 and up. Older models are boxy, where as the newer are a bit more sleek in style. I own a 1993 v6 silver fully loaded 5 ...

I can't seem to part with my 1993 4RUNNER. Over 78,000 miles and not one problem. In fact, I am still on the original Goodyear rubber and have at least 3,000 miles left according to a local Goodyear dealer. I'm tempted from time to time to get another...
