On the flip side, the Toyota dealer replaced it without fuss. I like the car a lot. If I had to do it again I wouldn't get an automatic transmission. Great,reliable,low cost car. Need more trunk room.
More power req'd on trips with trunk full.
My husband and I recently purchased a used 1993 Toyota 4Runner and I want to share our appreciation of Saturn of Austin, where we purchased the vehicle, and Red McCombs Toyota, who performed the factory service on it. The 4Runner was beautiful, had only 51,000 miles and was priced well. The only problem was a rattle from the engine upon acceleration. After speaking to our mechanic and checking out listings from other Car Talk listeners, I discovered that there was a factory repair needed on the head gasket. I contacted Toyota and they confirmed that this work had not been done on this vehicle.
