1999 Toyota 4Runner SUV SR5 4dr SUV 4WD
Decent, but Overrated SUV
 I have 79K mi. on my 4Runner and it's 
been somewhat reliable, but not what I 
was expecting from a Japanese vehicle. 
The MAF sensor had to be replaced at 
65K and I've had to replace the front 
brake rotors several times due to 
warping. The seats are horrible on long 
road trips as there's no thigh support 
at all. The rear suspension is too soft 
and it wallows and pitche with even 
one person in the back seat. Replacing 
the springs/shocks with an aftermarket 
set VASTLY improved the handling/ride. 
Acceleration is OK but highway passing 
could be better. The ground clearance 
and 31" tires are great. Fuel economy 
is OK for an SUV-21mpg highway.
