Overview & Reviews

Toyota's SUV receives minor changes. The most noticeable is the addition of the 2WD Limited to the model lineup. SR5 models receive new interior fabrics.

• 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.

  Takes a Lickn - 1997 Toyota 4Runner
  By Tazz151 - November 14 - 10:26 am

  This is my 2nd 4Runner. I had an 88 200,000miles & traded for the 97, wanted 4 drs. It has a 2" lift with HD springs & shocks and a TRD cat-back which added a little more low end power. This is my daily driver and hard use off-roader. I tow 3,000- 5,000# on a regular basis and it pulls great. I have removed my front and rear sway bars for better travel off-road, the little extra lean on the streets is not alarming. I run this on trails, service roads, crawling & even use it as follow vehicle at high speeds for quad riders. The truck gets beat hard with bumps & jumps (8ft in the air) & keeps on tickn. No major probs. Looking to get another one w/V8 but will keep this one. Quality is 2nd to none.

  4Runners Rule - 197K and Going - 1997 Toyota 4Runner
  By ToyFan1 - May 25 - 9:16 pm

  I purchased this vehicle new and it has been the most reliable vehicle I have owned. Ive had other brands Hondas, Chevys, Ford, GMC.... and nothing compares to Toyota quality and reliability (not even my Honda Accord). The only maintenance has been oil changes, tires, timing belt per owners manual and brakes (probably weakest feature - upgraded to Tundra front discs last year). I would buy another 4Runner, but this one still has years of reliable service left.

  Superb Machine - 1997 Toyota 4Runner
  By JRV - February 15 - 10:00 am

  This is uncompromised quality at its best. Yes, a bit costly given the fact its a 4 x 4, however it drives and rides very well. We purchaced it new in the Caribbean and keep it when we moved back to the States. Its been everywhere, but never in the shop for repairs. Wow! Look, I traded a 97 525i BMW that did nothing but swallow green 100 dollar bills ever since was purchased new. German craft is crapppp!
