RunnerUP 
1998 Toyota 4Runner SUV SR5 4dr SUV 4WD
Still a great runner
 This is our third one.  Last two 
were '92 and '95.  Good looking truck 
but is somehow missing the quality and 
content of earlier models.  Interior 
carpet wore through, leather seats 
started to tear.  We treat our cars 
great, but the '92 was immaculate even 
after ten years.  Did Toyota think we 
wouldn't notice the drop in quality 
materials??  Motor is strong.  Oil 
filter is in a stupid location 
(again!).  Paint isn't holding up as 
well either...lots of hairline 
scratches.  Seats are not nearly as 
comfortable as the old '92 model.  Much 
smoother though on the highway.  Love 
the rack/pinion steering, longer wheel 
base & smoother transmission.
