1998 Toyota 4Runner Preview summaryImage

The 1998 Toyota 4Runner finally gave drivers the additional power for which they had been searching: the base engine was now a 2.7-liter I4, with a 3.4-liter V6 as an option (and standard on some trims, such as the Limited). Optional leather trim does make for a luxurious ride, although reviewers note that the SUV still feels a bit truck-like, whereas SUV's such as the Lexus RX300 have worked to integrate car-like comfort into their interiors. Reviewers have also started to recognize that the 4RUnner gets good mileage-for an SUV. Estimates range from 15-22 mpg, depending on city or highway driving, as well as owner driving style.

This car eats up gas. Make sure to put 89 when pumping. Good suv for road trips and for families. Really good car to keep. Many compliments by others on the road. Excellent cargo space. This car is a keeper.Jun 11, 2014
