Overview & Reviews
For 1998, the Toyota 4Runner gets rotary HVAC controls, a new four-spoke steering wheel and revised audio control head units.
- Great looks and ground-pounding performance make the 4Runner an ideal choice for people who love the great outdoors as well as those who just want to look like they do.
- Steep price and choppy highway ride temper our enthusiasm for this otherwise outstanding truck.

Love It!! - 1998 Toyota 4Runner
By Biffers - January 21 - 12:00 amI love my 4Runner. Always wanted one and finally found the right one. For its mileage, there is not one squeak or rattle inside. I went from a large truck to this, when driving it feels like youre in a station wagon :) I have a couple friends who have 4Rs with 300000 miles and up, proper maintenance and they will go a long time. Only thing is the fuel mileage in town is around 15mpg . Not too bad for a heavy suv. The comfort and ease of driving it well makes up for that though. Highly recommended!

Over 400,000 - 1998 Toyota 4Runner
By Roman - October 31 - 12:26 amI finally gave up my 1998 4Runner this week. I had 433,000 miles on the car and drove it for 10 years. This was one reliable vehicle. I traded it in for a 2006 4Runner limited with a V8. I dont expect it to last as long but I hope to get 10 good years out of the car.

Great Solid SUV - 1998 Toyota 4Runner
By Repblcnjew - September 2 - 10:00 amI have never had a problem with car and it is a breeze to drive. Its responsive and desipte looking diminished as other makers upgraded engines the 183HP and 217lb/ft are more than enough. Taking a stock Mustang off the line is all in a days work. Mechanically 4Runner is a dream. My complaint is back seat comfort.

Great SUV so far - 1998 Toyota 4Runner
By Mike - March 28 - 6:50 amI have 61,000 miles and so far this 4Runner has been like any other Toyota I have owned, GREAT. The exterior and interior design is great and this is one of few SUVs that you can actually take off-road. The power is good for a V6 and it tows my motorcycles just fine. It feels very tight and solid for a vehicle which is almost 8 years old, great build qulity. The ride is comfortable except it seems to pick up every imperfection in the pavement on the hwy. Plenty of room for passengers and cargo and the power roll down rear hatch window is awesome if you have a dog. Dont know of any othe SUVs that have this feature. Only problem so far have been a leaky AC system which I will have to get fixed

Tight Car - 1998 Toyota 4Runner
By Emilio - February 24 - 10:00 amAll I have to say is that there is only one more manly SUV, and that is a totally decked out Hummer.

This ones a keeper - 1998 Toyota 4Runner
By mshw777 - December 8 - 10:00 amAfter 5 years of ownership, I wouldnt trade this 98 4Runner for anything. The 150hp 4-cylinder performs pretty well; my 4Runner is equipped with the automatic transmission. The power option package I got is nice. The dependability and consistency in reliability amazes me! Ive purchased two other 2nd vehicles since then, but refused to trade my 4Runner in for those other vechicles. Overall, I love this truck.

Uber - Super - 1998 Toyota 4Runner
By amcclure - July 27 - 10:00 amI love my 4runner, I will never get another type of car, I am a fan forever. It has way more room than a jeep grand cherokee for passengers, more cargo room than a isuzu rodeo. It is one of the so called suvs that you can put into 4 wheel drive regularly and it be able to handle it. I cannot say enough good stuff. Buy one today!!!!!!!
