 My 1997 4Runner SR5 lasted over 350,000 miles. It was the most solid piece of equipment I've ever owned. When the engine failed (broke a rod) I decided to go for a new 4Runner instead of wasting my time looking at other vehicles. So far it's gone over 19,000 miles without any adjustments or repairs. The 4Runner is one of the few Toyota models made completely in Japan and the fit and finish reflect this excellence of craftsmanship.
