Not one to mention, never had a single problem in 6 years!

Author's Review
My dad has owned this truck since 1995, and talk about iron clad. A true testimonial to its fine performance was illustrated in Summer of 2000 when my dad hit someone broad side at an intersection in my home town. The other car was totalled, my dad's truck was hardly touched and he was able to drive it home like nothing happened, now that is tough.
Talk about towing strength too, we have towed out two sea-doo watercrafts with this baby, and it was just like normal driving, no heavy engine noises, just 100% completely care-free.
Some of the features I like about my dad's truck are the rear windshield spoiler which he bought as an added feature. It keeps the back windshield totally clean all the time. The back windshield retracts by key or by a button in the middle console of the car. A neat feature is the cargo cover that matches the vehicle's interior and covers all your cargo in the back of the truck. I find this is an awesome feature for anti-theft purposes. The back seats push forward to extend your cargo space for lumber etc... this is very cool for skis in the winter too! The one thing I like the most about the 4 runner is its style, it just looks good from every angle. I consider other car company's versions, namely the Chevy Blazer, Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Nissan Pathfinder...etc, just don't compare in over-all look to this industry leader.
Ours is an 8-cylinder, 4WD, standard and it is surprisingly good on gas, mainly because we chose standard transmission. It looks sporty and is very powerful, I would recommend this truck to anyone that craves the sports car of the SUVS!
